Any Double cab HCPU 130 Replacement Information

All the gossip and mule pictures are SW / SUV configuration. Is there any reliable evidence that a 3.5Te capacity (or greater) double cab pick up will be part of the launch line up? 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

2007 Defender 110 Puma 2.4 DCPU Stornoway Grey

Very, very unlikely indeed that anything greater that 3500kg MAM would be available due to all manner of issues.

There was talk in the early days of such a vehicle, and there may well be a 130 equivalent, but at the moment I am having trouble seeing how any pick-up or double-cabs will be possible with a supposedly-monocoque structure. I'll believe it exists when I see it, not before. I think there will be van versions, and that overall it will be more like the old Discovery, with the "SUV" and "Commercial" types.

I suspect we may see longer wheelbase (similar to Range Rover) I could imagine an xlwb seven seater for example - but I'd think proper commercial types such as pickups and chassis-cabs have been consigned to the dustbin of history.

There may well be a van (eventually) which will just have the windows blanked off. I'd be amazed if we see any kind of lwb three-door. 2011 110 USW

I suspect there will never be a pick-up in the range, especially one that can carry my camper.

Will need to plan for my 130 to have an infinite life. its still only young 97,000miles and 9 years old so many more years in it yet. 130 Puma HCPU with an Artica 240LR Demountable Camper

I think they will make a 130.

They will need the extra length for the hot tub limo version.

Zed Land Rover will not make the hot tub long wheelbase ,

They do not have the inclination or imagination ,

But the Murracans in LA and Vegas might , and add some LS power !
