Valiance Pick Up Defender

The Valiance Pick Up Defender brings back something many enthusiasts have been waiting for. Heritage Customs has taken the modern Defender 130 and reimagined it as a true open bed pickup, filling the gap Land Rover never did. The result is a bold coachbuilt machine that blends classic utility with modern luxury and a heavy dose of attitude.

The Dutch team transforms the long wheelbase 130 by removing the rear section and replacing it with a clean open bed, complete with a premium liner, a sturdy rollover bar and a swing out tailgate built from the original hardware. It keeps the Defender DNA intact while adding a level of craftsmanship that feels completely bespoke. Buyers can choose custom paint colors, their own upholstery in leather or Alcantara and outfit the truck with unique accessories and Heritage wheels that elevate the look even further.

Under the hood, the pickup keeps the mighty V8, giving it the same power and presence of the top spec Defender. Inside, everything can be tailored to taste, making each build a one of one creation that mirrors the personality of its owner.

The Valiance Pick Up is more than a conversion. It is a fully curated project designed for those who want something rare, distinctive and crafted with care. With the first deliveries planned for February, it stands as the most striking interpretation of the modern Defender yet, offering a fresh take on an icon that refuses to stand still.
