Introduced in 1983 with the name “127”, the Land Rover Defender 130’’s 127” wheelbase makes it Land Rover’s Largest Defender design. The Defender 130 cab extends in the back, giving it the most extended bed and making it slightly longer than the Land Rover Defender 110. Since the vehicle was one of the last and largest designs, the vehicle was marketed to be a military and 4×4 utility vehicle. The pickup had a high capacity, making it ideal for hauling crew members and equipment across a range of terrain. The vehicle was also offered with the original 85 hp turbo-diesel and the 3.5L V8. The D130 is rare compared to its D90 and D110 counterparts, making it a popular vehicle among enthusiasts and vehicle collectors.

Dedicated as a pickup, the Defender 130 is the perfect utility land rover pickup for sale today. Allowing for seating for up to 6, the Land Rover Defender 130 has a large and spacious cab capable of hosting a range of accessories. Custom storage boxes and a teak bed are popular design choices for those interested in buying the land rover pickup for a more luxurious look. For a utility look, clients can add a rear cage or 2 point roll bar to the rear bed of their custom D130. Sand tracks, jerry can built-ins, a winch bar, and spot lamps are also available for transforming D130s into the ultimate off-roading 4x4s.
