Leaf springs at the back. The monocoque structure doesn't allow a pick-up I'm afraid.

JLR have gone on the record to say it is possible. https://instagram.com/bentheoandrews

Honda, Ford, Hyundai, GM would all have something to say on whether it's possible...

Oversimplifying this but what’s so complex with adding an extra 34cm on the back and lobbing the spare under the rear?

Disco 5 doesn’t seem to be selling as well as the 4 so I’d have thought JLR would be falling over themselves to get another full fat 7 seater on the market?

2011 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 USW Keswick Green

Spotted one on test the other day, in zig zag camo, spare wheel on back door, looked pretty much like the photoshop image shown above but rear body sides were hidden. Guess the 130 is on it's way. I did think it looked better proportioned than the 110. 2011 110 USW

Don't suppose you got any dashcam footage of it, that'd be quite the scoop!
