Land Rover, Stellantis Plan U.S.-Built Defender Pickup

Jaguar Land Rover and Stellantis are collaborating to develop a Defender pickup truck for the U.S. market. The vehicle would be built in the United States, marking JLR's first domestic production. The partnership aims to mitigate tariffs on imported vehicles and expand JLR's U.S. footprint, though the truck is likely years from production and details remain unclear.
