2017 Land Rover Discovery Commercial On-Sale Now (https://www.msn.com/en-au/motoring/news/2017-land-rover-discovery-commercial-on-sale-now/ar-BBH0csy?ocid=spartandhp)

[Tins]

635mm long, 939mm high and 1411mm wide. The boot aperture is large enough to accept loads measuring up to 1000 x 735mm”.

Not long enough to sleep in, which would be my only interest in such a thing.

The add doesn't mention the carrying capacity in Kg's so I imagine the payload isn't that much So unless you are delivering tissues or flowers it won't be that useful [bigwhistle]

Its the new Defender [bigrolf].

"1635mm long, 939mm high and 1411mm"

1635mm long is a lot better than the 635mm quoted. I did wonder whether or not it was really only 635mm Long!!

'Commercial' just means it's an ad (commercial) for Discovery.

Load capacity = 883 KG. unaffected by ball weight so it can carry that plus tow 3500 KG of trailer - just like the non commercial version.

That'd be a lot of of flowers and tissues - or what ever else you would want to carry.

Less than 1 tonne load capacity it's not commercial, not tax deductable.

Company registered,owned and used for work sure is.
Your accountant will get you to fill out a form.

They have had commercials in all Disco models but they have never been available here.

My guess is the market for that type of commercial vehicle in Aus is virtually zero.

I think that in the UK a "commercial" is sold with no rear seats and the side windows blanked out. Gets cheaper registration AFAIK, too.

Correct, been done like that since the rrc.
