Here's the Daimler scout car my grandad drove during the war. He was in Palestine and North Africa before D-Day

A modified version of that would be useful on the southern US frontier for drug interdiction use.
Then again the Lynx Mk1 would probably do as well.

They were not.. until the arrival of the Stryker much later. I served in both heavy and light Cav and the TOE's varyed (depending on the unit structure.. regimental versus divisional) from being equipped with M113/114 APC's and M60A1-3/M1-A1 Tanks or M551 Sheridans to M901 ITV/113's and eventually variants with HMMWV's with 50cals and Mk40 grenade launcers etc and TOW's.
 
During the latter stages of the HTLD (1983-89) test period; a number of systems were examined to include the on shelf use of modified 'dune buggy' type platforms with the reintroduction of motorcycles in the troop.
 
Later still, I was a T/E unit consultant for the M8 Buford. But it lost it's funding. And Stryker replaced it.

One of the first armored cars used by the Belgians in WW1. These were usually officers' private vehicles fitted with armor plate. They were used to pursue German uhlans in the same way Edwardian aristocrats hunted tigers in India
