The first vehicle in the segment to offer four passenger doors, the Travelall was derived from International pickup trucks, using the 1⁄2-ton chassis. Following the 1961 introduction of the off-road oriented Scout SUV, the Travelall continued as a direct competitor to the slightly larger Suburban and the smaller Jeep Wagoneer.
After the 1975 model year, International Harvester ended production of the Travelall and its Light Line pickup trucks. Since the 1980 discontinuation of the Scout, International has focused its road vehicle production exclusively on medium-duty and heavy-duty commercial trucks.
