Land Rover Defender ute on the cards, according to JLR executive director

The Land Rover Defender line-up may soon get a dual-cab pick-up (or ute) variant, according to the brand’s executive director of vehicle programmes Nick Collins. Speaking to British publication Autocar earlier this week, Mr Collins said he believed there was presently enough “customer demand” to justify mass production of such a model. He further noted that there would be “no structural limitations” in converting the car’s monocoque chassis to a dual-cab layout.
