110 v 130

[Shaun@MTG]

Hi I'm about to buy a defender pickup and will covert to ARB tipper. Can landy owners past and present out there give me the pros and cons of which one to go for? Currently a good choice in SHB all low mileage and 5 or 6 years old.

Nope, but he'll have a landy.

Don't listen to the heretics, personally I would go with a 110 , as other than going in a straight line a 130 is big!!

I have a 110, Mate had a 130, not a huge amount of difference actually, except 130 has better capacity. If you put wheels with a decent offset on a 130 then the turning circle won't be much different to a 110 with standard rims in any case.

Worth mentioning he sold his 130 for an Iveco tipper, for the increased (illegal) payload. Unless you need it for off road access a van is unfortunately a better option business wise....but Defender's look cooler!

I've been using a l200 for utility work and it's driving me crazy the lack of space and driving position, hence crew cab Landover

A crewcab defender tipper will have a bed length only slightly longer than my cock.
Defenders aren't exactly renowned for driving position comfort either.

I fit in at 6ft 4" (just)

My 130 is great off road and does exactly what you want from it but I dread driving it for any more than 15 mins on the road! It's noisy cramped and uncomfortable on a run but for all it's faults I wouldn't be without it. I still keep my l200 for longer runs and chucking the stump grinder on

I'm the opposite, I'll drive my L200 all day but have hated every seat (driver/passenger) of every LR I've ever been in.
