    Unfortunately you can't get them for $3k anymore, and they don't seem to pop up for sale like they once did

    The title says "Defender Ute" but the post says "Wanting to know recommendations on which series and year the most reliable Land Rover Ute was made"

    So you just looking at Defenders or all Land Rover Utes? If Defender then one of the later 130s - if all Utes then a Perentie but spend some money on making it more civilised or as mentioned a mid 80s 110 based diesel including the 120.

    As mentioned already, Isuzu 4bd1 powered 120 from mid 80’s.
    With a Lt95(a) and the Isuzu, along with other standard robust mechanicals, in good condition it would be the strongest most reliable Landy ute you could have, with the bonus of a bigger tray capacity than a standard 110.

    Wanted - Land Rover Defender Ute

    Thanks all for your suggestions and appreciate the advice.

    I saw a 130 Defender dual cab 1996 300 tdi with a HS international 2.8l engine. The original had been replaced at 200k. She needs a fair bit of work especially the interior, engine needs a few hours spent on her, springs etc.
