😂 yes at speed it is, going slow is a different story but this is also an advantage pending on situation

[@myauctionaddictionestatesa7451]

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.

Went away for a weekend with a guy who owns a Grenadier. Watching it come up a very shaley and very steep hill was amazing while every other vehicle struggled at times the Grenadier just walked up. Very impressive

[@gerritvr4]

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!

[@99unclebob]

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

It's pretty crazy that LR, with all the tooling at their disposal, let a whole new car company spring up rather than just keep making the Defender

That’s because LR know better than to keep making a vehicle that no longer meets regulations. They refused by making a newer better Defender to replace the old outdated one. They did keep making the Defender but modernised it. Ineos is rubbish.

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.👍

[@mtadc1545]

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..

[@perpelle]

I'm guessing that you are self employed, were you able to deduct the VAT? I've heard that's not possible due to registration from enios side and payload. I don't live in the UK (Scandinavia) and I'm interested in the pickup version of the grenadier. Mainly due to tax reasons here. Otherwise I would take the one you have.

[@stevezodiac575]

Did you mean you can gain 2 inch of room for the LEFT foot if you cut the floor trim? The lack room for the left foot really put me off the car as I couldn't imagine a long drive in that driving position.

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.

[@JeremyEdwards996]

Had mine virtually a year now and 18,800 miles. I'm very happy with it; some teething issues with software, door seals and water in the sills, but after rectification it has been a faithful servant. It is still rather thirsty, 25mpg overall but it goes well and pressing the pedal can be a little addictive. No deserts in the UK, but we do have a lot of mud, bits of forest and narrow tracks.

[@TWX1138]

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.

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 ?. Brown Davis make a 68 litre auxiliary tank which I have ordered, and the best thing about the Brown Davis tank is you get to keep the rear bash plate to protect it.

[@andrewjones-productions]

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.

[@paulfisher1160]

Spot on review. Thank you for making it. Holding back till you had a proper test over time. Got the chance to sit and explore one at a show. Very impressed and would love one in a few years. It is the best out there from what i can see. Plenty pros that you covered. Love it. Concerns here are. - The back little door. Wish the big door opened first. Then the latch for the big back door being inside> Will something block that. - The rear floor height.>What is under there and can it have a bigger tank added there maybe. - 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. - Keen to see how everything one needs fits in the back. Please keep posting how it goes over time. Keep up the good work

20,000 klms in my Trialmaster B57 and loving it, possibly the first registered Gren on Fraser Island, it just loved the sand tracks, we were inside the island mostly on 17" rims with BFG KO2 at 18 psi. It has been in locker situations without failure. Seating to me is spot on when I have it in a high position so I can see the fronts of both mudguards and I have driven 3x6 hour stints straight without issues, my foot is rarely on the rest. I am 70 years on, near 6 foot, and have owned a 1959 series II for over 20 years, making the Grenadier, Bliss. The bonnet is alloy and has 2 anchor points so you can have it near touching the windscreen when working under it. Looking forward to your build.

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.

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]

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).

Top notch review, as always. Thanks Ronny!

[@tomdixon7955]

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.

[@StephenFogarty2023]

I think it was more of an issue with earlier build Grenadier, but, the rubber trims around the doors / door seals, were not good, and warped / lost shape. This situation let in water and moisture. I’d suggest having a look at yours, particularly along bottom of the doors. Ineos are aware of this, and replacing these door rubbers,under warranty

We saw one parked down in Melbourne at the start of the year and I must’ve stood there for 20 minutes in the rain just staring at it in awe !. Very impressive indeed. 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. Good luck with it though mate, nice ride and look forward to your thoughts of it in another 12 months or so. 👍👍

I got to drive one a year ago. Coming from a landrover 110, it impressed me. 2 things that made me buy a new Auto 70 series over it was. 1, left leg position. Drove me nuts. Can't move it around. 2, repairs in the sticks... can't roll into Mt Isa and get any mech to work on it. I think they are brilliant, but suited more for the landrover die hards that never left capital cities. When they get a dealer network outside of big capital cities, they will be winners. But still won't buy one due to left leg location...

Damn this is so exciting, frothing for the new Prado also 🤙🏾

Of all the 4wds around today, this is the one I want to see succeed. I will never be able to afford one but I just love the whole concept of it.

[@JJ-uy2sg]

agreed. but that limited room for the driver's foot. huge issue.

[@SledTillDead]

Yeah definitely want to see the upper class only insanely priced 4wd succeed over affordable options

[@WesternAustraliaNowAndThen]

@@SledTillDead Well it is expensive I'll grant you that but they are starting from zero so I guess they need to try and get things going somehow. I drive a 20+ year old 90 series because I can't afford anything better but I still would like to see this succeed. No reason other affordable stuff can't succeed too I think...

7000km so far , no issues at all in my Trialmaster. Top tip: Put your sunglasses behind the steering wheel. Or keep a spare pair there.

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!

My old manager had a x3 30d and it did 400,000kms without any major dramas so definitely vouch for this engine!

[@StephenFogarty2023]

I doubt his X3 did a lot of, off-road driving in harsh conditions, nor did it tow 3.5 t The motors in Grenadiers doing this type of stuff, are going to work a lot harder, then an X3 that stays on the bitumen.

[@samartz]

@@StephenFogarty2023 true that, time will tell

[@damianperalta3389]

Ronny always you show some amazing 4x4 car's that in my entire life I would be able to buy one of this, not even in my dreams😢, I would like to see it with 35s on it. Cheers from Spain

Camper Choices by BDM Leather (WA based) has a Dash Organiser for the INEOS to fix your glasses problem on the dash. I have one on my 2 seater Grenadier. Pricey but worth it, like their bags that fit under the passenger and drivers seats (customised to the old shape under there). Underseat bags are pricey as well, but I have used them so much, I no longer care or even think about the price.

[@andrewwiltshire2689]

Yep. i have their dash organizer and underseat bags and they are the ducks nuts

[@chawenhalo0089]

Good choice! Put through it's paces. I'll be interesting how it performs OEM and what mods can be done.

[@danieldrescher3282]

That powertrain is bulletproof in terms of longevity and tuning, the BMW 58 Motors are insane. I'm curious how the do in the harsh environment, but i think you wont have any problems.
