IT ALL ENDED HERE, GRENADIERS FINAL TRIP

[@bobbyheskett]

Ronny, you've done a great job on the Grenadier series. Out of all the KZbinrs out there that have tried - your review of the Grenadier is by far the best. Love it and thank you for your efforts.

[@seanchristie7150]

Fantastic final episode, looking forward to the final assessment of Skippy. That crater looked awesome, there is one outside of Uluru that is pretty special too. Keep up the awesome work

[@Zapo9668]

I really hope that the engineers at ineos watch this, because I dont always think the engineers truly understand how and where these cars will be used out in the world. And that is the one thing the cruiser has on ineos is the trial and error over many many years. If Ineos listens to customers who use a car like you, and adapts and updates I have no doubt they will do very well.

[@3TZZZ]

Except that the Toyota Landcruiser has barely evolved despite all the 'trial and error over many years'! It’s a dinosaur, with a rear wheel track narrower than the front! Terrible road dynamics, noise levels and still the appalling ride and poor articulation of horse and cart springs! The INEOS is more refined in every way and yet it is super robust and the real deal off road too. Despite the INEOS being a new model, it is already way out infront. Toyota should be ashamed, especially of their ridiculous pricing on vehicles that have seen virtually no improvement over decades. The Toyota miasma is bizarre, as Ronny has inadvertently shown, by demonstrating how awesome this INEOS Grenadier is in comparison.

[@Hillbilly973]

​@@3TZZZ why is the Australian devotion to Toyota, Nissan and Land rover "bizarre"? If you knew anything about remote Australia and the consequences of breaking down in it, you would know that the majority of experienced overlanding Aussies will always go back to the tried and true "dinosaurs" instead of the over engineered, high tech long term unproven circus acts that the inneos and others like it are. I'd trust my life in a land cruiser out in the middle of nowhere, not in a grenadier.

I think a Grenadier with a Norweld tray & canopy and LR fuel tank would be a good option for touring

[@KorbensBum]

would you buy new?

[@Wilbargosh]

@ yeah I would. I already have a Norweld tray and canopy on a 2021 Isuzu Dmax and I like it. I think I will wait until pre-purchase GVM upgrades are sorted and long range fuel tanks are available

[@josedarrylalano8356]

Awesome episode Ronny!! I am actually guessing you will keep skippy as part of your fleet 😂 because Ineos will definitely give you the biggest discount because of all the publicity you generated 🎉 example… the grenadier was never in my radar, but after watching all your grenadier episodes… it is now in the top of my list… not yet, but definitely 👍🏼

Man those cratar lines 😂👍👍 Awesomeness Ronny's spark is that👍

[@tonychalmers9867]

Size, range and dampers seem to be the main negatives of the Grenadier. Not too bad for a first attempt. I'd like to see the same journey done in a new Defender 110 to see if LR really did miss the mark and by how much. Although, looking at the number of Defenders sold I suspect LR achieved what they set out to do.

[@stevegreen101]

Yep, made it less hardcore, widened the appeal and have sold more. The irony is the new Defender was designed as part of the push to be a million vehicles per year manufacturer; and now they've given that up and looking for less than half that volume.

[@jacquespotgieter2700]

Like the G-wagen when it tried to cross the red center

[@nickgood8166]

Am in Pretoria and have not seen a Grenedier yet. Parts availability, dealer network and cost of ownership are right up there. It'll be tough for the Grenadier to compete with Toyota on these.

[@avalanx]

Hi Nick, there are many of them on the road in Joburg/Sandton area. There is a dealership in Bryanston, worth a look if you are in the area.

[@nickgood8166]

@avalanx Glad to know. I wish them well. It would take alot to pry me away from Toyota 4x4 ownership. Indeed I maintain that if you want an off road tourer in Southern Africa, nothing comes close to Toyota. It's a complete no-brainer. Mahindra is doing brilliantly and are getting great market penetration. But they are competing on price. Perhaps Grenedier would be served by a bare bones iteration, pitched at the farming, utility, NGO and military markets. But I suspect their marketing strategy is high-end. At least for now.

[@avalanx]

@@nickgood8166 Hey Nick, I completely agree with you. I absolutely love my FJ Cruiser, wouldn't change it for anything at this stage in my life. It's not just the reliability of Toyota, but the general toughness of the oversized components. I'd put a Pajero on the list as well for a bulletproof african adventure tool. All the best!

[@nickgood8166]

@avalanx I started the Land Cruiser Club of Southern Africa with a friend 22 yrs back. Then, I had a 105 Series 4.5 petrol Land Cruiser. An astonishingly capable, reliable and durable off-roader and tourer, a veritable mobile lounge! Mine had all the gear, including a 280 litre fuel capacity giving over 1,400 km range. She burned 19.3 l/100km on a trip! I have a D4-D Hilux Vigo twin cab auto now. I'm a happy bunny. It does the job well with outstanding cost of ownership. FJ is a petrol Prado 150 auto, reskinned and abridged. It's very capable indeed.

[@myauctionaddictionestatesa7451]

What ever you do Keep Skippy! He is like a family pet.

[@Kristianmac426]

I like so much about the Grenadier, but the two biggest issues for me are the small fuel tank. It’s something that needs a proper underbody solution. 130lt would be ideal if at all possible. It’s not a deal breaker though, I’m sure the aftermarket industry is not far off from the answer. Unfortunately though, for someone who’s 200cm tall, the floor lump makes it impossible to own. I fully understand why it’s part of a RH drive vehicle design, but it’s just not able to be ignored or put up with! Maybe importing a LH drive vehicle would be an option, for someone with my height? Love the look, the capability, the awesome driveline, interior design and features, and the fact that someone who’s a real 4WDer put his money where his mind is, and actually built such an awesome truck! Maybe in the coming years, another exhaust system could be introduced that eliminates the need for the hump! Great review series mate.👍

[@mikefoster7085]

LR tanks have been available for 6 months now, 67lt and 90lt for the petrol version

[@SeanGreenhill]

For what it’s worth, I’m 190cm with size 15 feet, and I just don’t notice the floor lump at all or get the complaints about. Give the car a test drive and have a think.

[@xXJumpEr918Xx]

⁠@@SeanGreenhillHonestly I think it’s more to do with how people are scaled - I’m around the 6’ mark and after a 20m test drive I was super uncomfortable. While others have no issues. I was super keen for one until that drive, I think leg length etc and also what your seating position is like has a difference. Another good example is Pajero Sports, the centre console bar thing drives some people crazy but others don’t notice it.

[@MichaelKuczynski-u7o]

Pretty cool vehicle , it looks like they have done a good job at replacing the Land Rover Defender which was their original intent . Definitely looks capable as a 4x4 but like the Defender it seams too big and is expensive. It’s was good to see how well it did in stock condition . I guess we will,have to wait for your final analyses. Thanks for the ride

[@fishstixfishingadventures]

Running Waters in an awesome spot, went in there in my Lightweight Land Rover SIII in the ‘90s. Bet the road in has changed. Was a little track from… Nullagine? I think. No haul road etc. Jerry’s of fuel and water in the back. Good times! One thing, we never let tyres down. Kept the old “V Steel All Steel” 7.50 16s hard and pretty much hammered through anything.

[@mungbean84]

Magnetic termite mounds align North-South to regulate the heat through surface exposure. Though i don't think those were magnetic mounds as they weren't really blade shaped, but more rounded. I think you need to be a bit further North for those.

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

Magnetic termite mounds are the ones built north to south and they look pretty different to these.

[@craigkeesing4096]

You are a brave and intrepid traveller, Ronny. You have really pushed the envelope on this trip. Just when I thought that you had reached the limit, you made a billy and put your head under the surface at Running Waters. Last time I visited, I nearly stood in a steaming grogan on the very edge of the pool. It was an image I can't unsee. The next day at Carrawine, I saw exactly the same thing. Same morron I reckon... but gets you thinking. Admittedly, it was school holidays near the end of covid. Lots of people, with lots of gear. But sadly, limited ideas. Just need to drive so much further now, to get away from the E. coli.

[@gregorykennedy6869]

Ronny, when you are making something like those 'jonny cakes' or even a damper, maybe think of lining the dutch oven with foil so you can just wrap it up at the end, as is, and its all good to go for later.

Every time I see that 70 following the grenadier, it’s just looks so much more at home in the outback, don’t know what it is. The grenadier with all the crap hanging off it just looks out of place

[@DD-tc8nd]

Probably familiarity. The 70 is at home there. The Grenadier isn't visually natural to the outback. It could be in time though

[@PP-bm7zp]

@ I think you’re right. Used to go remote in my jeep until it was time for something a little more sensible. Ended up going with a prado. Saw a lot of remote communities using hilux, prados and of course 70 series. These are true proven vehicle in the Aussie outback. Love the fact that I can get parts anywhere if required. Big shoes to fill for the grenadier.

[@user-yl9vs9eh1w]

It's the visual "over-design". It looks very cool in stock form but is right on the edge of being bit tacky as the design borrow quite bit from G-Wagon now too (as hood lines), not just Defender and every visual detail has been pushed to limit of being over-styled. Add mod stuff around it and it looks bit comical. Same issue with all highly styled vehicles (G-Wagon, New Defender, Lexus GX550, etc..), they look great in stock but don't mesh well with the brodoser additions. The 70 on other hand, starts visually so simple and under-stated, it still looks good even under shit-ton of mods.
