Is there a 110 dual cab cab chassis along with a 130 dual cab ?

[pc3]

Is there a 110 dual cab cab chassis as well as the 130 varient ? I know there is a hcpu 110 but wondering if a 110 dual cab cab chassis would be cheaper and if it had any advantage or disadvantage over the 130 ?

[KarlB]

The simple answer is: no.

[The ho har's]

I test drove a 110 dual cab at the Land Rover Promotion Day:D

Very small tray in them though not much room for camping gear:( but same size as the 130 in the cabin;)

seemed a very capable vehicle in the tacks I took it through quite steep and muddy in places:)

The simple answer is: no.

Sorry KarlB, the simple answer is YES. I was looking at one recently at the LR dealer in Parramatta.


Same cabin, shorter wheelbase (smaller turning circle) but the rear tub is not much over a metre long. There was just a British show on TV called Survivors (not survivor) about a bunch who survive a plague that killed 90% of the population. They drove around England in a 110 dual cab. Maybe you can find an episode on the web and check it out.

I think there may be some confusion here, the original question was whether you can buy a 110 Dual Cab Chassis, ie. no tub. As far as I know the 110 Dual Cab is only available with the HCPU, ie. with a tub.

Cheers, Mick.

Horably small tray in back of the shorter one that I saw at the Snapper Rocks Quicksilver Pro--guess it was a 110. Recon two bags of cement would almost fill it up by the looks of it. Still would not mind one though.

[KarlB]

I would have thought the tub was about the same length as a 110 station wagon with a bulkhead. It certainly would appear short with the spare wheel sitting in there though.

I recall having seen a photographs of a 110 dual cab chassis but it was a creation of Foley Specialist Vehicles.

[juddy]

Land Rover only make the 110 single cab and 130 double cab in HCPU.

The 110 double cabs, body work is not seperate from the chassie, its basicly a 110 station wagon with the rear chopped off, half way down, so no option is offered by LR to have a 110 double cab chassie.

However

You can get one, and heres some pics, to give you a idea..

Just been to the LR Aust website: Just to clarify, available 110 models:


110 Crew Cab Pick Up: Twin cab with a short tub.


110 High Capacity Pick Up: Single cab with a long tub.


110 Cab Chassis: Single cab with a tray.


Which would mean getting a 110 Crew Cab P.U. and replacing the the tub with a custom tray. Why not just get a 130 with the stronger clutch, springs and wider/longer wheelbase.

The back seats in the dual cab sit more bolt upright than in the s/wagon. If I was going to go for a 110, it would be the s/wagon, as the back seats rake back more and are more comfortable, plus the seats can be folded forward to extend the cargo capacity. The 110 Dual Cab compromises on both passenger and cargo categories. Unless your circumstances suit that configuration - ie : a hunter with dogs in the back and camping gear in the back seat area.

130 is the better option I feel just wanted to know if that option was a big cost saver. I do need a bigger tray than that for my needs

No doubt that for 99.999% of people either the s/wagon or 130 HCPU are much more practical options.

The 110DC is just so COOL though (maybe even sub-zero for the TG fans) and that is the single most important thing ! When you go to yoru agarge you have to LOVE your car each time you see it, or it's not worth having.

[JamesH]

I have to agree with Vlad.

I read about it here, I saw the pictures, I downloaded the specs and I thought WTF? That has to be dumbest idea I've ever seen. I never thought a Defender could be ugly! Who, even Defender fans, in their right mind even contemplate one?

Then I saw one in the flesh. It was brand new shiny black with a mid brown canvas awning and i thought "Good Lord, it's beautiful I love it and I want one!".

Coolest car on the road? Name a cooler one.

[ugu80]

Agree James. Saw the pics and thought it looked as if it had been run up the arse with a Mack truck. Then I saw one in the dealer at Parra. Mmmmm. Imagining a full length roof tray all the way to the tailgate.

[The ho har's]

Yes agree the one I drove was Galway Green with the tan coloured canopy and it looked soooo cool

Does the 130 have a stronger clutch??? Maybe a ROW spec thing, the UK ones are the same as the 110, though granted rear suspension is stiffer.

I believe the 130 is fitted with the heavy duty clutch as standard, even in UK. Same part No. with HD at the end. Fits straight into a 110.

Well you learn something every day...

Here's my 110DC after we got back from the red centre.

Sorry for the hijack everyone but Mrs HH you owned Tdis and you clearly love your 130 TD5, how did driving a Puma make you feel?

still own the 300Tdi and runs great....well for the short time about a half hour it felt good I was surprised about the 6th gear but the one I drove didn't have traction control in this particular model so I had to take a different track to everyone else..other than that..puma....well it doesn't have vents at the front so I will stick to our RED truck

Nice ! Mate what would you say are the advantages of your your over a wagon?
Why'd you choose the DC over the wagon?

[Yorkshire_Jon]

Hiya,
If Im honest I originally chose the double cab because of the UK tax benefits. However, for me the best bit is that I can throw stuff in the back and keep the cab clean and tidy.

The drop down tailgate is also an excellent platform to cook from when out camping.

Jon

[VladTepes]

I think if I had the money I;d ultimately be torn between a 130 and 110 (DC in both cases)

[bcj]

would luv a 110 dual cab with a hard alloy lift-up cover on tub (seen a picture from u.k of nice one). I sometimes have to carry chemicals or fuel externally so a wagons no go, would be good to be able to fit family in .The 110 would be more manuverable in tight/hilly country over 130.
Now I just need the right lottery ticket- might buy a good dual axle trailer too-
