      When we test drove we did not even notice the steering despite being warned. I think its too many are used to driving street cars like cross overs and not real 4x4s. I have a Power Wagon as a Daily driver and my wife has a 4 runner we are trading up for instance.

    Great video mate. Few comments from an owner: BD now has a long range fuel tank adding 68L. Steering can be improved by increasing castor adjustment. Quite a few companies are making dash covers with storage pockets. Check out Mellvill and Moon or Tougher. Installed redarc charger and Lithium and separated circuits. GVM upgrade also already out from Expedition HQ. Eibach has a small 40mm coil lift available. 285/70/17 (33”) fits fine on the rear door and combined with Eibach gives you about 2” lift which makes a difference and is still legal in WA. Enjoy!

      wow with the availability of a 68 tire tank that gives a driver 158 litre fuel capacity, that would even make ASPW happy Ronny has no worries if he installs one, the B57 diesel from what i have known of them in Canada is reliable ,powerful and decent fuel economy, i got his info from a BMW tech of 30 yrs experience, the only thing about them in Canada the starting price is near $100k CDN, so i will have to wait for used one in a few years time

    Great, been a UK owner of a 2 seat commercial diesel for 10 months and use it for work in fencing and forestry, would love to see remote axle breathers and and a true snorkel. I did a DIY drawer set up and swapped tyres out for Cooper stt pro's. You can gain 2 inch of room for the right foot if you cut the floor trim, also want to look at improving the bump stops on the steering, to improve turning circle. One bit of advise is give the truck a chance, as I've really grown to appreciate just how good it is, if a little overcomplicated. Great stuff Ronny.👍

      A lot of the British owners in the Grenedier group are way too defensive of this vehicle. They don’t seem to understand the necessity of extreme durability required in the Australian outback. Like the amount of plastics in the cooling system in the BMW engine etc.
      All cool and well to loose all your cooling in the British country side where you can quickly find spares etc….but good luck doing the Canning Stock Route and having your cooling system fail on you and the nearest spare parts or mechanic is a few hours flight away..

    Glad to hear someone else understands the benefits of being able to use low range unlocked (or front hubs unlocked) to back up a trailer. My dad and I did this with his manual transmission 1989 F-150. Lot's of torque and low speed made for great control. If the center is locked you can still do this on low traction surfaces, but you still get a lot of binding up and the steering may fight tight maneuverers.

    - You mentioned the hump in the floor. > keen to know if that's a pain over time driving?
    - Please explore the under side
    - That rear ladder. Its pretty but dangerous being slippery and feet sore.

    A suggestion for making the review process even and consistent for everyone that might be looking at these, don't do anything that affects off-road capabilities to it for the first half of your time possessing it. Just run it full stock, or at most, change the tires out and add something like a radio. Let's see what it does in its factory state.
    After that, make your upgrades be those that are the most common performance changes, rather than what we'd call 'mall crawler' changes. Things where appearance takes a backseat to function. Keep the costs of those performance changes as reasonably priced as possible, so that other buyers see what kind of bang for buck they can get with changes, and try to keep even those changes reversible.

    Really happy to see this, I suspect you’ll like it, I have now put about 27000km on mine, I have done a lot of towing with it, it’s a very good tow truck. The ineos forum is good for info if you’re looking for it. For example I see that there is an aftermarket rear ladder which incorporates a jerry can holder. I might get that. I did a 3000km run with a 90kg roof tent and a 25kg awning, with the weight of the rack that was right at the max dynamic roof load. It handled the weight very well, waaaay better than my old defender would have. It’s not perfect, but no vehicle is, it will be really interesting to see how you get on with it in comparison to your 2.8 cruiser. One thing I will say is it I think there are issues with my car and moisture inside the doors causing glitches with the door locks. I haven’t proven this yet but after two periods of very wet weather, flooded roads etc I had issues with the car not locking and also with the car not wanting to engage gear because it thought the door was open. I solved this by spraying water dispersant into the locking mechanism. I have not done any deep wading in it but I suspect prolonged deep wading could be a problem so I’d be tempted to remove the door inners and check out all the connectors and proof them with something like Lanoguard grease or similar. That’s what I plan to do at some point. There's a 2” (ish) lift kit available from the OEM spring manufacturers too. I have 33’s on mine and it runs great.
    Now get some 35’s on it and go get it dirty.

    You mentioned about fuel anxiety, I think I would have warning, light anxiety at the 9:58 mark when you first turned the key on, and the whole dashboard lit up like a Christmas tree. Imagine that on the Simpson desert, trying to find an error code. 🤣🤣
    The only issues I see with these those are the cost of repair ( out of warranty ) and that battery inside under my kids backside - side impact and 💥🌋 no thank you, too dangerous. Much prefer batteries outside of the cabin behind a firewall.

    I have had my Grenadier Trialmaster for a couple of months now, and love it, 295/70r17 Yokohama tyres which interestingly say 34" x 12" on the side walls with Black Rhino Yellowstone 38p rims were fitted pre delivery with no rubbing, then a week later Eibach springs 35mm raised were fitted, and they are designed to go with the factory stock monotube shock absorbers.
    The huge chassis on the Ineos Grenadier is hydroformed, for a production vehicle they are about 5 times the cost to manufacture than a conventional chassis, hydroformed chassis are far more durable.
    I have just returned from a SA / VIC, border track trip Ngarkat conservation park and it did it all very easily as you would expect, but it was how easily it did it, and no rubbing at all, some people in the US have put 35" tyres with 40p offset on they say with no rubbing ?.

    Great video. I’ve just added new suspension, 33s, James Baroud awning and RTT to mine. Have the brown and Davis long range tank on the way. Love me grenadier and have come from a Sahara.

    I honestly think that aside from the 4WD essentials in the design, its best feature is the built in electrical connections for things on the roof of the vehicle. All connected to cleanly and conveniently placed switches. Another design feature that is really well thought out is the universal towbar mount (receiver hitch) that meets all market requirements. That is especially good for here in Japan where we have a mismatch of US, AUS, NZ, EU etc towbars for vehicles and trailers with 2" couplers and 50mm couplers. This really makes life much easier. However, I absolutely loathe not having a speedometer and other dials directly in front of me. Even if the Ineos Grenadier were sold here in Japan, that would be enough to put me off buying it. Such is my hatred for centrally placed speedometers.

    Fantastic brief rundown. Just as well you have the Dahl Cave for storage.
    Will be interesting to see what you do.
    Good to see all the tech that is standard, would be great to know the $$$ too

    Hey Ronny, great intro, it will be very interesting to see how it performs, put through your future tests! Rite off the bat, It fails against the new 76, regarding its initial purchase price, its lack of fuel economy, & as mentioned fuel capacity, its weight and that left foot problem aint going away soon! Maybe Ineos's second rendition will be even better sorted! It looks great, like a very well sorted Defender, however with nicer proportions and I'm guessing its actually relatively reliable, which the landrover never managed!!! Love the colour! Thanks Ronny

      100 % agree with the footrest problem, that really needs to be sorted. Nobody wants to drive around with their foot stuck in that position for a long time

    This will be interesting. From someone with a JK Wrangler and not impressed with the price on the petrol only JL with low tow capacity, this looks like a contender with the 6 cyl diesel and higher tow capacity we Jeepers have been asking for. Keen to see how it handles offroad/articulation.

    WOW, for years I have watched your videos, and I have to admit when you start talking about the great god toyota, I start to go to sleep. I drove a toyota once and the the price of parts was more expensive than our other car, a Porsche. At the end of the day no-one has ever stepped out of a toyota and said, 'that was a comfortable ride'. THANK YOU for choosing something different

    • @cameronwood1994
      @cameronwood1994 24 дня назад +2

      We noticed that with our 70 Series. Toyota Kenya want US$300 for a wiper relay, and because it's not a standard relay and nobody else makes it, you have to go to them. I even checked in other countries in case it was Kenya's insane import duties, but even then the cheapest I found (in the USA of all places) was still over US$200. That was just the beginning of me learning how insane Toyota's parts prices are. I'll never have another one, our Land Rovers cost far less to buy and run, and Toyota reliability isn't all that great either (although better than our Discovery 3, but nowhere near as good as my old Series III).

  • @sevenity2677

    This is great news. It’s going to be honest …. Ye can’t beat that 👍
    Awesome car with some gremlins to adjust too.
    Interested to see how you trip in it and contend with the weight and possible inflexibility with modifying it. Good luck 💪
    Ps, the fuel gauge is abit vague 🥴 Don’t depend on it on those very long trips. Record your fuel up odo and work on when you should be refuelling, not the indicator. 🤷‍♂️

    Interesting to see Ronny engage with this vehicle. It's got a lot of luxury and thoughtful design features of a type that I don't think Ronny typically comments on, given they are usually found in vehicles he dismisses as "shopping trolleys" or "luxury vehicle, not meant for off-road". This car really is taking Mercedes G-Wagon refinement and supercar-type bespoke design, then combining it with premium power and incorporating old-school construction, totally different beast compared to a 70 or even an LC300.

  • @michaelbowers5675
    @michaelbowers5675 25 дней назад

    looking forward to this series with the grenadier. Blacksheep innovations has some very interesting looking kit for this vehicle such as a gas can that goes in the middle of the spare tire holder and rock sliders that are higher up than the factory ones and hence more functional. the factory sliders seem a bit low. but we will find out.
    I kinda think the grenadier is made for desert like terrain and will struggle with more of the minor rock crawling type stuff due to lack of clearance.

  • @josephkelly4893

  • @defender1323
    @defender1323 24 дня назад

    Great video mate and good on to Ineos for loaning you the vehicle.
    I was very excited about buying one to replace my 2013 Defender but, my next door neighbour bought one and I have to say I was impressed and disappointed at the same time. It is not perfect and with a starting price tag of $140k with just basics such as diff locks, winch and roof rack it is a very expensive toy to have. I think this will serve people that are now retired and have plenty cash to afford one.
    Cheers

    Speedo, fuel, etc. are on the center console to reduce costs on the display infront of the driver for different LHD/RHD markets.
    The raised air intake not being a snorkel is a bit of a letdown and I feel will catch some people out.
    Fuel tank capacity is a bit of a letdown but there's now some pretty hefty subtanks!
    Looks like a Chassis Cab version is in the works, so would definitely be interesting to see one of those paired with a canopy and rooftop tent.
    Excited to see how it'll handle the Aussie outback!

    I must have watched most or all of your videos, it was hard for me to consider any car but Toyota for overlanding in off beaten paths, but i could not resist This one. i received mine in same color with winch, hitch, lockers, slider and 17" steelees Last December in USA. very interested to see how it compares to your new Toyota in stock form first and then with upgrades. thanks and cheers

    Love this motor and being UK side, Sir JR is a gentry. Can you test this to its total load out and then to its total incline capability because he claims it took on the Mongolian desert but the documentary showed only flat ground but I plan to go on a full overland adventure that has everything other than flat ground.

    There has been some complaints about a pin sliding ut of the transfer case shifter and people not able to use it when this happen.It would good to check that. Also, some people broke the fuel lines when off roading (somewhere in the middle of the car when there is a plastic connection). Some owners complaint they haven received the manual and it is difficult to get hold from people at Ineos. These are some ideas to check. Very happy that you are doing a long term review on this car.

    @BorisEkner 20 дней назад

    I’ve followed the Grenadier story from the very beginning. But where I live it’s not available. But I’d buy it in a heartbeat if I had the money.
    - So I got the best option I could afford - a Jimny.
    If I win the lottery I’d buy a Grenadier too, no doubt.
    That said, lucky you to get one for six months. Looking forward to your future episodes.
