Going on an offroad experience with Lars Ulrich must be great 20:03

[@edwardpocockiii3712]

Great professionally edited version of the raw video. Impressive work gentlemen.

[@U.Höft]

After this video it is much more harder to wait for my own grenadier ! Greetings from Germany

[@Agileoffroad]

Thank you! Hope your Grenadier comes sooner!

[@patpie3703]

Great professional video and best attitude of you guys. I would not have the guts to take this challenge with my Grenadier - I am an off-road adventurer motorcyclist and I always consider the 80/20 rule: 80% it is the rider’s /driver’s capability and 20% it is about the vehicle. Kudos. Greetings from Italy.

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

Homeboy said suspension, tires, and upgrades are pretty much stock 😂 Joking aside more I look at the grenadier the more I love it! Great video!

[@Shivnandak]

It's true, larger tires and lift springs is my guess. I don't think there is anything else available for more clearance.

[@IsaacRodriguez89]

@@Shivnandak yeah they are upgraded. The tire fits so much better than stock aesthetically. I really love the look of this platform.

[@adrenalinevans]

I had a blast! Freaking awesome trip 👊🏻

Yes it was!

A million likes for the quality and editing of this full documentary

[@stephanszymanski9348]

Wow what kind of vehicle is that! Never heard or seen, really darn cool! Here I am thinking a land rover would be a dream to own, let alone baby it on the street, too chicken to take off road, and y’all are off-roading like crazy! Going to research more about the INEOS

[@paulgolanec9286]

After watching your video. We might have to join you guys. Great video well done footage was second to none!!!

[@paachi]

What an amazing showcase!! Of the Grenadier, of the build, of your story telling skills and most importantly of the landscape!! Keep up the good work guys!!

[@Agileoffroad]

Glad you enjoyed it!

Great video!!! I also did Black bear pass in my 100% stock Grenadier on 8/10/24 such a great vehicle!!!!

Very well made video! The Grenadier looks like a pretty solid platform. Hopefully I'll make it back out that way soon!

Great video! The photography and edit was spot ON. I’m ready to hit Colorado this fall again. Rock-on.

[@myauctionaddictionestatesa7451]

Great video, excellent video work! Cant wait to have more time to get ours out more. Amazing vehicles. How many factory fresh rigs do you see on the wall?

[@croaker4747]

Great video. I love seeing these used the way they are supposed to be used! I’m driving out to Lake City from VA in a week in my LC to do the same thing.

[@Agileoffroad]

Good luck!

Go for it!

Killer footage! Thanks!

[@ahmedalmulla9402]

Crazy ! I recently ordered agile hd wheels from you guys for my grenadier + eibach springs and its awesome ! I am now thinking of ordering th3 fox stabilizer but hesitating a bit i am not convinced enough for its uses

[@Agileoffroad]

Only when you steer will you feel the benefits of the Fox SS 😉 and check out the ATS, it's adjustable.

[@ahmedalmulla9402]

@@Agileoffroad already ordered the fox stabilizer but not the ats. Cant wait to see the difference !

Seems like auto sway bar disconnect would be useful things from the factory.

Nicey done

So was @livingthevanlife following behind in his Sprinter videoing you? ;) Great video. Ineos needs to make this into (at least) a showroom commercial. Thanks.

Great video. Ineos is embarrassing the competition

[@PaulFischer-o5c]

Beautiful video of Imogene and Poughkeepsie. Did the turning radius of the Grenadier on the Black Bear Pass switch backs cause any concern?

[@Agileoffroad]

There were no concerns about the turning radius of the AO Grenadiers. Those without our ATS did have some issues on the switchbacks

[@FieldWorxoverlandadventures]

Is it my imagination or does the Grenadier seem top-heavy? Swaybar disconnects would definitely help, I would like to test drive one to see how it feels but it seems like the wheels are coming off the ground a lot maybe needs more flex? I don’t know just seems top-heavy??? pretty cool video👍👍👍👍👍👍👍

[@Agileoffroad]

Not at all! The Grenadier has a fair amount of body roll and that would be exacerbated by disconnecting the sway bars!

[@Amati763]

Breathtaking 👍. Which color is the „grey“ one? Donny Grey?

[@AntonTamasian]

Bitchin drive! Bad ass way of showcasing the Ineos in its nature! Enjoyed every second of the video…

Want one pretty bad but can’t swing the $100K + price tag. 😢

[@deerwoodretreat]

What's the advantage of one of these over a Jeep?

[@Agileoffroad]

I owned a 2014 Jeep JK 4dr Rubicon prior to the Grenadier. I feel the Grenadier is more refined than the Jeep. The Jeep 4:1 Transfer case is a clear advantage to the Grenadier’s 2.5:1 Ratio. Time will tell.

[@BobButtafruco01]

I would like to see if recent LR Defender Octa would handle with Black Bear Pass.

What’s the front bumper at 1:26?
