UK Military Land Rover replacement

I would have thought that since they require an off the shelf 4x4 for non-battlefield duties, mostly driven by teenagers and the like that a base specification dual cab pickup would be the most cost effective.
G wagons, Land Cruisers, Grenadiers are at least double the price of a base Hilux or DMax.

The GM military products using the Chevy Colorado platform comes pretty close to a militarised version of a Hilux or DMax. Don't know if they're any cheaper than a LC, G wagon or Ineos. Soon as anything is painted olive drab or desert colours it's price rises exponentially.

The British military already have them for non combat roles. A trial I guess

Theres a few leased ones in and around the firing ranges around Gareloch. They are leased vehicles used by Landmarc and some of the people using the ranges.

I suspect they’ll want diesel just for logistics purposes
