Please turn down the music. Look at all the comments.thanks!
Maybe turn the background music off or at least way down. Thanks.
For a while there I thought I was watching a 70s episode of Charlie’s Angels.
The background music is louder than the speach.
Audio editing was off on this one, that is a fact. Makes one wonder who was responsible and who (if anyone)was reviewing the video before being posted.
I don't get the point of the cheezy background track. Not needed.
So it wasn't just me who couldn't hear what the heck they were saying?
Please ask your editors to turn down the music when you are talking
Never going to happen..... It sooths their A.D.D
Even better, how about they stop talking.
@@stephenbarabas6286lol they completely turned the music off on the latest video
Based on this cut, I’d be shocked if they have editors.
Way to much music and way to loud
Agreed
I've never understood why there needs to be any music in most videos.
All 4runner owners of all generations know the rear roll down window is a MUST!
Except all the early models only worked for about 5 mins before they broke 😂
@@PaddyBoy644😂😂😂
@@PaddyBoy644 Bro What??? I've own 3 (1995.5 Ltd, 1996 Ltd w/rear locker & a 2005 V8 Ltd. Never had a problem with my rear window. I currently only own the 1996 Ltd now for about 17yrs and my back window still works.
@@PaddyBoy644 even my 06 "made in America" Sequoia's rear window still work.
@@PaddyBoy644 not true mine 1st gen 1986 worked fine even after 348,000 miles.
The music is very annoying!
Then you’re not a true fan. This is classic TFL music
🎯💯😣
Its the cool thing the RUclipsrs do.... To much ADD on here
Actually I take it back at like 12:40 it was very loud over the talking
Ha, I was watching the video and thinking the same thing, then went to comment and saw yours at the top.
Why is the music so bloody loud from like 12:30ish to about 15 minutes? I could barely understand what you guys were saying, and I value that part of your videos.
“Very impressive. Our first ever stock vehicle to not scrape on back scratcher.”
*4Runner has entered the chat.*
4runner all day long , I love mine
Man that 4runner looks sharp!
The 4Runner is a legend on four wheels
19:55 the “HA!” Was priceless 😂
I own 4runner i love it
Too expensive for this trim. Sr-5 is better value
@@billricheter5678If you can't afford it, just pipe down
Best value 4Runner off-road premium with KDSS.
Agree ! 2021 4Runner is a Tank best Overland vehicle by far
@@billricheter5678 No it isn't. The SR-5 is for cheapskates and penny pinchers.
Good comparison of two different vehicles that can accomplish the same tasks. Will be good to see this compared to the new improved 4Runner.
Digging the driving through Hazard County at a high rate of speed in the General Lee music!😂😂😂
At about 12:46 and going on way too long. Playing the music track too loudly while useful conversation was going is terrible editing.
It got better later though.
Check in with the sound editing team. BGM way too loud.
That extra money is good for novelty factor because you're the only one in town with the Grenadier.....but that soccer mom will practically keep up with you, soooo I guess the Runner is the one to buy!
Just wanted to point out the BGM volume at the hill descent control segment is overpowering the speech
This is one of the best father son relationships. I have two boys and I pray I get to enjoy my time with them having fun at work. The son has surpassed the dad in knowledge, and the dad is laid back and passed on the torch.
As a third generation tradesman, you said it perfectly, my grandfather (98yo) sits back and just takes it all in, while Dad, handles it all at 70yo and I try and fill the boots and shoes of both which I will never do - but I can certainly try!!
You are so kind
@@TFLoffroadthe dad said the ineos g weighs 7k lbs lol. He’s ready for the golf course.
@@kcw9313 he probably meant to say 6
Everytime I see Roman and Tommy together, I wish that my father and I could work together like these two.
Nathan’s genius shining through at 19:50
I'm impressed with ineos grenadeir.
Everyone has an opinion, so here is mine. The best things about the Grenadier are its locking differentials and the overall ruggedness combined with comfort. Otherwise it may be too long, wide, high, heavy and complex under the hood. I would have sprinkled a little SUZUKI JIMNY on it, making it 186'' long, 72'' wide, 70" high, 112" wheelbase, weight under 5,000lbs, powertrain 4.0 litre n/a inline six cylinder, solid axles front and rear, 8 speed automatic/ 6 speed manual, 3 locking differentials and a bit more original exterior design though I like the front end look and utility.
As the very happy owner of an 09 H3 with front/rear lockers, 4:1 low range, and the rare 5 spd manual transmission, I can say from experience and from direct trail comparisons that a front locker is the cheat code. It goes places it has no business being. I've had it up trails that you usually only find lifted jeeps on and it does surprisingly well.
Love 4Runner content!
275k on my 2010 4.0L V6. Might have to get another this year.
Or the GX460. No turbos for me.
Have the 4Runner. Love the Grenadier old school look and instruments.
The B58 engine is great, as is the Toyota engine.
It will be interesting to compare the Grenadier to the LandCruiser. Closer in price and retro appeal.
We are blessed with all the great options we have
A track was one of the reasons I bought the 4Runner but I didn't know how good it would be till I used it, it's good
Love my 4runner, but would happily drive the Grenadier. Looks like a lot of fun. Ditto about the music-it’s really not needed-it’s distracting.
Great series guys I've been waiting for this. Thank you. Bigger tires on the Ineos will help that front approach.
Great to hear!
Agreed, ineos is running 31 and you can put 33 with no lift.
I have a 2023 4Runner TRD PRO with 32' and the original suspension and I didn't have to make any modifications, I think it would be a better comparison!
Turn down the dad gum music!!!@@TFLoffroad
with regard to the Ineos lockers - they might be like my Eaton lockers that have a pin that actually can't disengage without unloading the diff.
This is my expectation as well. They are old school style lockers that are heavier duty and this makes them harder to engage/disengage.
Eaton is the OEM lockers on the Grenaider
@12:37 the music while you guys are talking.... Distracting. The music is awesome when just showing off-roading with no talking though. That Ineos is awesome. I'd still rather get a used Mercedes G Wagon AMG for the same price only because I know I can get it serviced and it does everything more easily.
I agree, a MERCEDES G WAGON is a Superior alternative to the Grenadier. Tho, the GRENADIER mops the Floor with ALL THE TOYOTA 4RUNNER AND EVEN THE NEW GX550. The Grenadier has a cool factor.
Case needs to be in front of more tests!!
Not unless he has a far away or muffled mic!! His S's kill my ears.
pure enjoyment from watching this video. Good times all around
Unless you put the same tires on both vehicles, its not a fair test.
They test these vehicles how they come from the factory. Changing tires would make another variable, not eliminate one.
They're comparing the vehicles as a whole. Not just the Drivetrain.
Most car manufacturers do not let them change the tires for test vehicles.
But they own it don’t they always thought it was for the test loaner vehicles that they don’t allow them to swap tires
@@Locutus720exactly. So they can change it in their own truck but not the tester. They’re treating them as they come from the factory
Yes put some Wildpeak tires on the 4Runner like I have on mine.
I'm a long term Land Cruiser owner and the Grenadier, so far, is shaping up to be even better than my LX's. I'll post again in twenty years for an update.
I'd take the 4runner. It's 90% the capability at 70% the cost
@@VladPutin88 And customizability too.
Hey Tommy press the diff lock button for a second until it flashes then press again to get the solid red light or RTFM.
I was brought up with RTFB😂
I could watch these comparison videos, all day, every day.
Great video guys keep it up!
Thanks! Will do!
Great comparison. Without regard to single locker vs. dual lockers or even price, an extremely dependable 15 year-old platform that can be repaired anywhere vs. a first-year unique vehicle with probably a tiny dealer/maint network? Middle of nowhere - who ya gonna call?
Soon: compare the Grenadier with the 6-gen 4Runner. 😁
Great channel!
Love the content
I like both the Grenadir and the old school Toyota Four Runner. It's nice to have options in this off-road segment.
Great video as always. The real competition are Jeep Rubicon and Mercedes G Wagon. That is, people in the market for one of these two vehicles would probably also consider an Ineos Grenadier.
That INEOS looks fantastic!!!
Just needed the wrangler along too
For the price, you could buy the 4Runner and throw in a front air locker and some sliders, and maybe a Corolla too.
You can’t lock IFS
As in, independent front suspension? You can. I’m putting a front locker on my GX
I have owned two 5th gens and have owned an FJ Cruiser for 13 years. Nothing will dethrone that platform combined with the 4 liter, in my own opinion, of course lol. I am biased because I have had great memories in them since I started driving, 14 years ago, this August lol. Nearly half of my 😊
I did drive the Grenadier on a pretty easy course, because my fiance reserved one, but ultimately canceled. I liked it a lot because it felt something like a more rugged version of the G-Class my dad owned that was the last year model before Mercedes switched them to independent front suspension. I love that! In all honesty, the things I disliked about it were all minor things that are just personal preference things. It is definitely a great rig!
Well said!
Awesome and outstanding as always
Thanks again!
Nice video. Yes bigger tires would definitely help.
With the difference in price you can add some lift, tires, bumpers and even a winch to the 4Runner.
Love the competitive nature of Nathan
TRD ORP with KDSS would of performed better on the articulation test.
I hear what your saying, I have a 2016 4runner trail with KDSS and love it. I can't understand why they think that the pro is a be all and end all.when the trail ( Trd off road ) has pretty much the same equipment as the pro does, but still has KDSS. I feel the off road has the best of both worlds on and off the road.
@@johnwebb2232Exactly! I was coming here to say that just after looking at the title!
The Pro is only good for fast speed Baja Style off-roading, for overlanding and baby step rock crawling the OR is a better choice than the Pro!
Wrangler Rubicon seems like a good comparison too.
Nah. Pass.
As an owner of a Wrangler Rubicon 4 door, no. These are “passable” as highway vehicles, mine isn’t
@@GeorgeOrwell-tp8dwmine is perfectly fine on the hwy and I do 60mi one way
Jeeps are rock crawlers that’s about it there not made for daily drivers or, road trips/ Overlanding vehicle’s 4Runners are
@@rickmontelongo4230Ive been driving Jeeps since 1986 and find them to be equally fun off road and at highway speeds…
When something does break on the trail for the Ineos.... How close is the nearest dealer and parts? Where will you get it serviced. I love the new Ineos. It looks great. I have the 4runner now and I have never had a problem, but if I did, I can get it serviced all over the country. Even many small to medium sized towns have a Toyota dealership. Parts are plentiful. I think I would wait a few years on the Ineos until their support and dealer networks catchup and spread.
They both are fabulous and capable. I would buy either. But, that Ineos has that second kind of cool in Spades. If I could swing it, absolutely...
It’s great to see this matchup between a car from the 80s vs one from the 90s. The State of the Art!
People gotta quit saying solid axles are better for off road. They are better for slow crawling off road. If you're doing baja style racing or rally-style spirited off roading, independent is gonna give you a lot more traction.
One hand on the wheel, the other clutching a walkie-talkie. Brilliant!
Lets be serious, the price difference means that I am already halfway to buying my next vehicle when both of these trucks have worn out.
Both vehicles are superb, and I would proud to be the owner of either one.
Great video.
What happened to the Mercedes GL450 videos? Looking forward to see more videos with that one, Thanks
Difficult decision ... but
OMG, I really like that 4RNR TRD PRO
At 14:23 Nathan actually got the rear wheels of the 4Runner off the ground. In related news, at 14:27 you can hear an audible snap as Nathan un-puckers. Listen close, it is nearly covered by the sigh.
4Runner for me !
Should be compared to the new gx or landcruiser but a 4runner pro can hang with a bronco badlands so for longevity 4runner is your best bet
They are both very capable. Would be interesting with 33" more serious tires on both trucks. 4Runner guy here...3" lift with 285/70/17 Baja Boss AT's. Will be interesting to try ours at Moab this summer.
"When in doubt, throttle out? AKA Momentum. Works most of the time. Great job. I am surprised the Ineos needed the front and rear locker but I couldn't see the rear tire contact to the ground. What if throttle out were employed. Would it have gotten going without the front locker?
I'd love to see you guys do some low traction stuff in moab next time you go out....not just hells revenge, but go out and do some of the other famous trails like 3D for example, which has great tests for the vehicles, and in the middle a pretty insane climb on a combination of slickrock and dirt. and yeah, any test like this without a wrangler is....incomplete.
Why don’t you test the Grenadier with your 80 series Land Cruiser. They are almost the same platforms. Ladder frame, coil suspension, solid axles inline six.
Great videos either way.
I would love to see a comparison between the Ineos and Tommy’s $30k 2-door Wrangler Willys Sport. The 4Runner is $20k less than the Ineos, but the Wrangler is $20k less than the 4Runner!
The Wrangler also has two solid axles, so it has more in common with the Ineos than any other off roader you can buy new.
I'd love to see a TRD pro with $24k worth of upgrades. Just to see what you could get for $80k.
I would get a 4x4 SR5 for 45k + 35k worth of upgrades.
Covers rock sliders they bitch about and 19500 left in the pocket too 😂
The B58 that's used in Toyotas is slightly different from this. Toyota did the same reliability tests and sent back the parts that failed and made BMW improve those parts for Toyota. But BMW uses the same engine they started with.
I doubt that is true. It would make no sense for BMW to make two different versions of the same part.
@holdenc3082 Toyota flips the bill on their iteration of the engine, and BMW keeps costs of its own cars lower with the original internals. Otherwise, it'd be a great marketing tool for BMW, given their fame for lack of reliability, to shout about the help from Toyota for reliability.
Loved the loud music and the great comparison.
Awesome vid as always for me tho , I'd take the toyo...
Alot of downtown and hotel parking entrance garages are only six feet six inches high and have tight turns. If you wedged a Grenadier in there, you would have to drop the tires down to 10 psi to get it out!
Ineos does not offer a snorkel on the grenadier. It offers a raised air intake though.
Wish I could join. Can't wait to test my 4Runner TRD Pro with 285/70R17 on stock suspension. I wonder how much tire rub I might get when the vehicle weight in front and tires turned locked as I haven't remove my mud flaps. I also have added weight with full skids & sliders totaling 5000lbs.
Ineos is stock and it doesn’t have the larger wheels. I’d like to see what it does with a lift and larger tires . Probably do some crazy stuff. Also as time goes on they’ll fix some of the quirks I’m sure
The INEOS is designed as an overlander, not a rock crawler. Taller, skinnier tires with smaller wheels are much better for overlanding.
@@mikearend997 yes but you can also make them rock crawl as well. Extremely versatile
That would make a great shirt “When in doubt throttle out” Nathan.
Excelente video
Ineos interior switches r the touch we need
I think you need to turn the music up, i could still hear you guys
I always stop to disengage the lockers. I also use awd and the rear locker in hr.
What you called "wandering" steering on-road is overcorrection. That is what I've experienced with mine. It is driver induced. When you get used to it you'll minimize correction and be fine.
Watching this video and a TrailRecon channel video on the Ineos on hill climbs, it seems to need both front and rear lockers to get up sketchy inclines that other vehicles don't. Is this due to the weight?
I’d still go 4runner due to cost, reliability, and serviceability. The grenadier looks awesome but unless you have oodles of cash….mehh
The Ineos Grenadier has a kerb weight of 6,000 lbs (depending upon options), while the 4Runner TRD Off Road weighs 4,750 lbs; more than half a ton difference.
I love the Grenadier and 4 runner both. However if you’re talking about offroad capability and off roaders, we know most people alter their vehicles. If the comparison is factory vs factory, fair enough. But if we’re talking about potential capabilities, the 4 runner hands down has way more ability currently to be built up to absolutely destroy a Grenadier, and still come in way under that sticker price
I drove that trail with my stock VW Touareg. V6 2916. Is not so much sometimes the car but the driver
Wow! A Toyota that doesn’t pop a front differential the first time it goes off road. Long live the 4Runner.
British engineering - fearless whenever it works. I’d bet my life on the Toy!
British engineering, meh, that's good enough🤷
🤣🤣 yeah... Toyota... Recalled 900,000 vehicles.... And you obviously missed the unbreakable Brand new Tacoma that broke within 12 feet of "off road"
@@stephenbarabas6286show me how many British 4x4’s have over a million miles on them with the original engine and transmission. Toyotas not perfect but it’s a night and day difference between British vehicles and Toyotas as far as reliability goes. I had the drive shaft fall off my 2002 Land Rover discovery while I was merging into a highway. Plus it had an oil leak the dealership told me they would never be able to fix. My FJ and 4Runner after that never had a single issue.
This is a joke right? British vehicles are some of the most poorly built, unreliable vehicles for the last 60 years. I guarantee the Grenander has 10k in problems, at least, before it even hits 50,000 miles. Just like Land Rovers, just like Jags, just like Astons.
Wouldn't really call it British. The drivetrain is German, the axles are Italian, and it's manufactured in France.
You should have just imported the greatest solid axle vehicle ever made the Y61 Nissan Patrol!
Cheers Pat 🇦🇺
Even though I prefer Toyota over Jeep, I’d say Wrangler is an old school of roader and 4runner is a Hilux with a make up on 😂
Dylan Mulvaney with makeup.
The front steering guard is useless, doesn't it protect a cooler?
I watched the snow episode,did it need 3 locked?
Is a basically a G wagen as far as wheel travel and diff locks,and how would it compare to a proper Defender with no lift but front and rear diff locks?
This obviously goes without saying but the Grenadier is the closest to a new 80 series one can buy.
I love how you point out the plusses of the Grenadier in the knowledge that the 80 series had those same plusses 30 years ago...largely apart from two things:
1) the 80 series locks work better.
But, and, 2) the power train of the Grenadier is admittedly more potent (tho perhaps more questionable).
Maybe over time the Italian axle locks on the Grenadier will capitulate into agreement with your command. That's how it went in 1942 anyway. lol
The 4runner discount is worth the 40 steps to get ready for off roading in the Ineos. Lol. Coming from a Bronco owner.
Great honest videos though.
Have yet to see any real front axel articulation on the Ineos. Plenty on Jeeps - Ineos🤷🏼♂️??
At 11:40 why the front wheels on the 4R are not turning? Are you on AWD? then yes, if you are on 4WD low, then I'd expect the 4R to move forward even without the ATRAC because both front wheels are on the ground.
The Ineos Granadier looks like a off road Mercedes G wagon you should be comparing to that and maybe a jeep wrangler lol and do you guys ever go off roading in New Mexico or Arizona? Is that your favorite go to place which is Utah!
This needs to be compared to a triple locked 80 series. That is the best comparison to this grenadier
