Have you ever considered that he or she was having a laugh at your expense?I'd rather keep my source, who is deep in JLR, very anonymous.

The four cylinder engines have been in use for at least four years. So not so new. Some will be at least a year out of warranty already. The six cylinder version is basically just two more cylinders added to the four, using a lot of common parts apart from castings and shafts etc. Same basic designs. Half way through 2020 they announced that they had built more than 1.5 million Ingenium engines to that point.A new JLR engine... Can't wait to see how that goes out of warranty....
Defies logic for the hp increase, maybe brakes/suspension are upgraded on the higher hp model?Not sure why they want so much more for the D300 vs the D250 unless you can only get D300 on higher specs? It was £10k more for the extra 50hp when I was on the configurator.
This is a pickup. Land Rover don’t do those. However there is plenty of choice availableV8 Toyota Land Cruiser pickup offers farm truck alternative - Farmers Weekly
You won’t spot many 70-series Toyota Land Cruisers on UK roads, but venture beyond Europe’s borders and this tough-as-old-boots workhorse is the go-towww.fwi.co.uk
Jus' sayin.

Any word on the pick ups? I'm sure LR said they were going to do a Defender pick up but cannot see it being as practical as the competition or priced vary favourably!This is a pickup. Land Rover don’t do those. However there is plenty of choice available

Heck no
There is no getting away from it they are feckin dear, but are they as dear as a second hand landy? I'll be sticking with my 22yr old 90 for the foreseeable so it's all a moot point for me, but i do think you'd be more likely to keep a landcruiser on the road in 22yrs time than anything landrover currently make.£48000 to £58000 for a rhd double cab!!!!

I would beg to differ.There is no getting away from it they are feckin dear, but are they as dear as a second hand landy?

Yeah i think your probably right tbh, but i will say it's more the electronics in 23 yrs that i'd be concerned about.I would beg to differ.
Rot usually spells the demise of commercial vehicles, and where as the Toyota is made of steel and will rust in our climate, the new defender is an all aluminium monocoque.
BTW. My defenders are 23 and 37 years old.
There is very unlikely to be a pickup. I would put it at near 0% chance.Any word on the pick ups? I'm sure LR said they were going to do a Defender pick up but cannot see it being as practical as the competition or priced vary favourably!
A friend was told at a launch event, when he asked about when the equivalent to the 110 utillity was going to be available, "thats what double cab pickups are for". I can't imagine JLR having any interest in making anything other than a luxury car.There is very unlikely to be a pickup. I would put it at near 0% chance.
