Yahoo Autos Dutch coachbuilder turns the Land Rover Defender into a crew-cab pickup
Land Rover offers three versions of the new Defender called 90, 110, and 130, respectively, but it doesn't sound like the range will gain a pickup anytime soon. Dutch coachbuilder Heritage Customs has stepped in to fill the gap by giving the longest modern Defender a cargo box.
Chopping up any vehicle into a pickup is easier said than done, but this isn't the first time Heritage Customs has made major modifications to the current-generation Defender. This is the same coachbuilder that builds a convertible Defender 90 with a power-folding soft top. Based on the Defender 130, the pickup features a usable bed, a sport bar, and a side-hinged tailgate with big "HERITAGE" lettering stamped into it.
Buyers can customize just about every aspect of their truck including the paint, the upholstery, and the interior trim. Several exterior decal packs are available, while new-look wheel designs ranging from 20 to 22 inches in diameter add a finishing touch to the look. If that's not custom enough, Heritage Customs offers a thick catalog of off-roading accessories such as LED light bars, roof racks, and side steps.
