LDV has announced the availability of a long-wheelbase version of the T60 ute.

 

The T60 Luxe Mega Tub will reach dealerships in December priced from $34,990 drive-away for a six-speed manual and $36,990 drive-away for a six-speed automatic.

 

When the sums are done, the price premium is only $1500 over the regular T60 Luxe.

 

Dimensionally, the wheelbase is 315mm longer leading to an additional 275mm in the tray. The Mega Tub’s tray is 1800mm which betters the Ssangyong Musso LWB and the upcoming Volkswagen Amarok XL. It’s only fractionally shorter than the Ram 1500’s load bay. LDV says a typical six-foot ladder will fit comfortably in the back.

 

The T60 Luxe Mega Tub will be produced on the same production line as the current T60, and as such, will feature the new suspension tune for the Australian market.

 

Power comes from the same 2.8-litre 110kW/360Nm four-cylinder turbo-diesel found across the range.

 

The LDV T60 Luxe Mega Tub will be available from December.
