the Jeep Wagoneer is remembered today as an early luxury SUV, its initial reception was underwhelming. The high price point and fuel-thirsty V8 engines didn\u2019t resonate with the average 1960s buyer. Additionally, its bulky, boxy design felt out of place compared to sleeker vehicles of the time. Only later, after design improvements and the rise of SUVs, did the Wagoneer begin to shine, but its early years were far from popular.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"International_Harvester_Scout_II\"><\/span><strong>International Harvester Scout II<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-large\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"683\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup-1024x683.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-40460\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup-1024x683.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/1979-International-Harvester-Scout-II-Pickup.jpg 1599w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The International Harvester Scout II was a rugged off-roader, yet it never captured a large market share. Its primary issue was stiff competition from better-known brands like Jeep and Ford.

Plagued by stability issues, particularly a tendency to roll over, the vehicle quickly earned a bad reputation. Its compact size was another drawback, limiting its practicality for families looking for more spacious alternatives. As a result, the Bronco II was discontinued after a relatively short production run.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Isuzu_Trooper\"><\/span><strong>Isuzu Trooper<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"667\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Isuzu-Trooper.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-23307\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Isuzu-Trooper.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Isuzu-Trooper-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/05\/Isuzu-Trooper-768x512.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Isuzu Trooper brought strong off-road capability, but its boxy design and lack of on-road refinement left it struggling in a competitive market.

While its all-wheel-drive system was ahead of its time, the Eagle never gained traction with mainstream consumers.

Eventually, the Eagle faded from the market as other, more traditional SUVs took over.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Toyota_Land_Cruiser_FJ55\"><\/span><strong>Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"563\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ55.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-44504\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ55.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ55-300x169.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Toyota-Land-Cruiser-FJ55-768x432.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>Nicknamed the \u201cIron Pig,\u201d the Toyota Land Cruiser FJ55 was built for durability but lacked the design appeal necessary to win over American buyers. Its boxy, heavy look contrasted sharply with sleeker SUVs entering the market. Although highly capable off-road, its slow acceleration and minimal comfort features made it a tough sell in the U.S. market. As a result, it remained more popular with off-road enthusiasts than the general public.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Suzuki_Samurai\"><\/span><strong>Suzuki Samurai<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Suzuki-Samurai.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-27573\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Suzuki-Samurai.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Suzuki-Samurai-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Suzuki-Samurai-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/06\/Suzuki-Samurai-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The Suzuki Samurai had the potential to be a popular compact SUV, but it quickly ran into trouble.

Sharing its platform with the Chevrolet Blazer, the Bravada was marketed as a higher-end option but never lived up to its luxury promises. Its higher price, combined with Oldsmobile\u2019s declining brand image, limited its appeal. Though some appreciated its features, the Bravada never reached the same popularity as its more rugged counterparts.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h2 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><span class=\"ez-toc-section\" id=\"Mitsubishi_Montero_1st_Gen\"><\/span><strong>Mitsubishi Montero (1st Gen)<\/strong><span class=\"ez-toc-section-end\"><\/span><\/h2>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1000\" height=\"750\" src=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mitsubishi-Montero-1982-2006.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-39882\" srcset=\"https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mitsubishi-Montero-1982-2006.jpg 1000w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mitsubishi-Montero-1982-2006-300x225.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mitsubishi-Montero-1982-2006-768x576.jpg 768w, https:\/\/mycarmakesnoise.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/Mitsubishi-Montero-1982-2006-480x360.jpg 480w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 1000px) 100vw, 1000px\" \/><figcaption class=\"wp-element-caption\">Image Editorial Credit: <a href=\"https:\/\/www.shutterstock.com\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\">Shutterstock.com<\/a><\/figcaption><\/figure><\/div>\n\n\n<p>The first-generation Mitsubishi Montero offered solid off-road capability, yet it never achieved the popularity of competitors like the Jeep Cherokee.
