This pickup truck is the dream of every farmer who enjoys luxury on four wheels.
Heritage Customs is well-known in the world of custom-built Land Rover and Range Rover vehicles. Their latest creation pays homage to the classic Defender 130 Crew Cab – a pickup beloved by petrolheads.
The Dutch are expanding their offerings and presenting a completely new model – the Valiance Pick Up – Defender 130. This model, designed entirely in-house, combines luxurious style with the practical features of an open-top luggage compartment.
The new pickup draws heavily from previous Heritage Customs designs, particularly the convertible, but this time it reflects the Defender's workmanlike spirit more fully. The redesigned rear end has been meticulously designed to maintain consistency in overall styling and detailing.

The icing on the cake are the unique forged aluminum rims for which the Dutch are most famous.
Any Defender available in the longest body, designated 130, can serve as a base. The new open cargo area is 100 cm long and 140 cm wide (120 cm at its narrowest point). The launch vehicle is based on the Defender X 130 SE, which boasts over 400 horsepower. Not only will this powerful V8 car speed through meadows and fields at lightning speed, but you can also load almost a ton of firewood into the bed and tow a trailer with a motorboat.

The basic package includes a pickup body conversion, painting the finished structure in the color of your choice, complete leather upholstery stitching, a set of new rims and tires, and a set of wraps with the Heritage Customs logo. The conversion costs approximately €65,000. Of course, you'll need a donor Land Rover Defender 130, which starts at around €100,000.
