If you saw one you would not notice anyway. Im sure no one ever noticed a FordRanger DC was the same wheelbase as a 130 .

A FordRanger DC Ute is 3220mm wheelbase = 126.7"

A Defender 130 is 3226mm wheelbase = 127"

In relation to the Moab video/photos, did you notice that the steering wheel is very, very similar to the one in the leaked interiors? Same shape - particularly the centre piece - and complete with switches in the same places.

Also, in the Moab shot, on the dash above the steering wheel the black cloth has a large indentation - which matches what looks to be some kind of inset instrument cluster in the leaked interior photo.

Nice one, yeah its heavily camo'd but yeah its pretty close, didnt notice the indentation, good eyes I say!
Whoever they use to do their camo, they need to pay them more, its amazing!

Edit: just brightened up the pic a bit.

Funnily enough I knew the Ranger was the same length. I thought it looked long and looked up specs a while back and sure enough a dead to ringer for the 130. Except it's a Ford...

Not soon enough by the sound of it, Son.

Driving a near new BT50 for several years I took to the wheelbase with a tape measure one day as it looked bloody close to the Deefer.
As are the other current generation Japanese utes!
