T5

The T5 platform is what Land Rover calls an Integrated Body Frame, which joins both a monocoque section for the engine bay and passenger compartment, and a ladder frame section for the gearbox and suspension.{{Cite book|last=Taylor|first=James|url=https://www.worldcat.org/oclc/1129224068|title=Range Rover Sport 2005-2013 : the Complete Story.|date=2019|publisher=Crowood|isbn=978-1-78500-660-9|location=La Vergne|oclc=1129224068}} Compared to the all unibody 2001 Range Rover, the heavier frame construction was chosen for lower costs, with the intent to use it on a new redesigned Defender and various other models, but many of these plans did not transpire.{{Cite book|last=Hull|first=Nick|title=Land Rover Design|date=20 October 2021 |publisher=Veloce Publishing Ltd|isbn=9781787118119|publication-date=2021-10-20}}
