I’m interested, but only out of curiosity to see if it is coming here. It’s going to be well out of my price range. 2007 110 TDCi Station Wagon XS

3.5t towing, 750kg payload. It's even available in a soft top pickup.
That's looking like a better Defender replacement than the Defender replacement. https://expeditionportal.com/the-jeep-gladiator-leaked/  Click image to enlarge |

Yea a 2 door Rubicon is about $40k I believe. The truck will probably be 50k+. There's always the used market though, after the hype has worn off. |

Then add 20% VAT to that for UK prices, plus the poor value of the pound compared to the dollar and they look very expensive for the UK market

Currently on holiday in the US, in the mountains North of New York and there’s plenty of snow here. The Jeeps look better than most of the OTT vehicles that are out here. We asked to hire a basic 4x4 and got this....
Click image to enlarge Chevy Tahoe, with the “small” 5.3 V8. Has got all the toys though, even with the basic model. Full leather, Bose stereo, heated everything, auto everything but an absolute tank. Very very comfortable but I think it would be a handful on the lanes around here and rubbish off road. Pretty good in the snow mind  |

Nice view. Not sure about the 4 wheel drive system on the Tahoe. I am generally not a fan of GM products though. Doesnt look like it has much ground clearance.
Enjoy New York. I've never been and probably never will. |

If the leak is correct:
Double cab with 750kg payload will not sell in UK - No VAT recovery or van benefit in kind tax rate. 750kg is useless you can not even pick a bag of sand from builder's merchants 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper |

Are you referring to a bulk bag? You may just do it the sand was dry, very dry.
It will sell if it could carry a tonne  130's have feeling's as well you know |

A one tonne payload would be very saleable, and make it a great alternative to a 110 or 130 double-cab.

Is there something that has the opposite effect to the blue pill? I really need it right now, i'm not going to walk straight for about an hour or so. I'm on IG: https://www.instagram.com/osloblue42/ Current: TD5 '110 "Lucinda" Thread here: https://www.defender2.net/forum/topic62562.html |
