วีดีโอ

Ouch!!! They allowed me to continue driving mine until the parts came in, so I was only without mine for one day and they gave me a loaner. I was told that my car was the first one at Regal that had the leaking differential seals. It does certainly seem that it's a weak point. I hope the parts they put in are better than the originals, although I'm guessing not at the moment. Thanks for watching.

@@adventurerforlife-joel also I’m going to buy a few couplers for spares. They are JL/JT Dana parts.

I didn't do anything different than I ever do ... at least not intentionally. I believe when I just open the driver's door and enter the vehicle it displays the total mileage on the vehicle and a couple of other things on the left hand side of the screen and nothing else. I hope that helps. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for the information and clarifying. Our governments are sticking their respective noses in where they don't belong. This will be something I for sure verify very clearly on any new vehicle I purchase in the future. I'm unwilling to pay my money for cars with systems that I don't want, mandate or no mandate. They're not going to force me into an EV either. Thanks for watching.

That's funny! I had the same thought when I was there! Thx for watching.

Thanks for watching. I'm enjoying the Grenadier and creating the content. Enjoy your Grenadier!!!

Thanks for the suggestion. I found a local installer and am going to give it a try. Thx for watching and the info.

The Grenadier is running very well. It's rock solid. No vibrations. No wobbles. The mileage is about 14mpg, so poor, but expected. I'm going to do an in-depth review (good and bad) in a few weeks, but it may be a while before it posts. The car is rock solid, but not perfect (as you would guess). Thanks for watching/commenting.

Thanks and thanks for watching.

I believe Ineos is going to have to make some changes with the windshield. I ended up getting 5 cracks in my window on my cross-country journey. 4 of them ran across the windshield. I'll be getting it replaced again next week. Thanks for watching and the comment.

It'll be good fun! There's nothing like a good cow chip chunking contest to bring a family together! Thanks for watching/commenting.

Oh shit can't wait😮.

My stock rims are 14". The aftermarket rims you see in the video are 15". The 14" definitely look too small. I believe my front rims are 8" wide and rear are 10" wide. Good luck with your car and thanks for watching/commenting.

@@adventurerforlife-joel thanks

Did you have to add any spacers either on the hubs or lifting the springs?

@@WatsonsWagons Honestly, I don't know. I work with a shop. They installed coil overs on the front and I had an air bag system installed in the back to give it the jacked up look and stabilize the suspension and ride. Thanks for watching.

I've enjoyed the Grenadier so far. It's not perfect, but Ineos did very well for a first attempt. Thanks for watching.

Yep. My wife told me the same thing on the pronunciation!!! Thanks for watching. Greece is on my bucket list!

They are great cars. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

Thx for watching and the comment. I certainly love the look. Ineos achieved much of what they set out to do.This will be a great trip and provide some adventure along the way.

Thx for watching. I will certainly be reporting about the performance of the Grenadier, both likes and dislikes. From an emotional standpoint, I love the car. From a realistic standpoint, it's not perfect. It'll be very interesting to see to what degree Ineos agrees with its customer base about various changes that need to be made. I guess we'll see that in the next few model years. The again!

Thanks. I love the car. Glad you watched.

They're a great body style. I wonder why they're not more popular in the classic car market. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thx for watching and the comment. I'm about 2,000 miles into the trip now. I'm taking a short break and then will move on next week. It's going to be a great trip.

Thanks for the comment. I've seen bags that you can hook to the tire. I'm going to try these Rotopacks that I bought and see how that goes.

Thanks for watching. I've been to Innsbruck. Pretty place.

Thx for watching and the well wishes.

Will do and thanks for watching.

Thanks and thanks for watching.

I may not be a very good source to help you. I was personally not interested in any of the safer bets. I was not far from having an old school Defender resto-modded for me when the Grenadier was announced. I say that because I had already made the decision not to buy a Toyota or Jeep or new Defender or other like vehicle. I wanted the look of the old Defender with stronger off-road capability and quality than a Jeep. That's what I believed the Grenadier was. I still believe that. I was either going to buy the Grenadier, a resto-modded Defender, or nothing. As my videos discuss, the Grenadier is not perfect. I made the right decision for me. I plan on owning it for quite a while (unless there end up being quality issues). The Grenadier was much cheaper than the other option I was looking at, so price wasn't an issue. I couldn't care less what the gas mileage is (except for the range issue). I've discussed other issues in the videos, so I won't repeat them here. My biggest irritating factor is the stupid nanny systems that I mentioned. The question is: How much of that is controlled by Ineos and how much is them submitting to ridiculous governmental rules??? I don't know the answer. BTW, there's still also the open question of how the dealer network supports the vehicle. At this moment, I'm thrilled with Regal Ineos. Hopefully, they'll keep it going. Anyway, thanks for watching and the comment. Good luck on your decision.

Funny! Thx for watching and commenting.

Just like your comment 😂

Thanks for watching and commenting. As I've said before, I think Ineos did a great job as a first shot and seem to understand their worldwide market well. They obviously should spend a little more time understanding the US market and try to incorporate our perspectives. Ineos did send me what I thought was a very good questionnaire on the vehicle which I responded to. We'll see what they come back with in future years.

The Power Wagon is a great truck! I went to a couple of car auctions last year and saw several from the 40's and 50's that I would have loved to have had. The new ones look great also. It seems every vehicle I would even remotely consider driving is very expensive these days. When I put my deposit down in September 2021, Ineos was still talking $55k for the base model. Obviously COVID and reality set in and jacked the prices up dramatically, although not enough for me to back out. I'm planning on owning this for at least 10 years, so I can just amortize the cost over that timeframe. I do wonder how many people are buying the Grenadier as their daily driver. I'm thinking not many, but I've been wrong about lots of things before! Thanks for watching.

Thanks for quoting the exact capacity of the fuel tank. I obviously could have looked it up, but haven't needed to know yet. I'm getting ready to head out on a long trip that will probably test the range in a few spots thus the extra fuel tanks on the cargo carrier. I believe I'm only getting 14mpg-15mpg. Again, I haven't tried to do an exact calculation, just in general. I'll probably do a couple of exact calculations on this trip I'm going on and will advise once I know. As you said, the nanny systems are on all vehicles now, but on my GMCs they can be permanently disabled. IMO, that's the way they should be, so that those who want to use them, can, and those who don't, don't have to. Thanks again for commenting.

So I guess you are going by what the vehicle displays as your MPG calculation? On my 2023 GMC Sierra I cannot disable the auto start/stop function and have to hit the button every time I start the vehicle. The lane keep I can disable once and also the speed warning. Keep in mind that in other countries these nags are mandated and Ineos probably does not have the resources to change all of the nags per country so they just leave them all as the default. It's a niche vehicle without the volume of others so it is going to have some "personality" that other big volume manufacturers handle differently. It's an amazing vehicle and I smile every time I drive it. I have had hundreds of vehicles and thus far this is by far my favorite of all time.

@@tpresten I've been doing my MPG calculations in my head and rounding to the nearest gallon. On this long drive I'm getting ready to start, I'll actually get the calculator out and do it to the tenth and see what "exactly" it is. I have a 2021 GMC dually that does not have the auto stop/start, but we also have a 2022 GMC Acadia that we have to switch off every time we start. I'm hopeful that we can at least turn off the speed limit and lane departure warnings. Thanks for watching and commenting.

Thx for giving the video a shot. I'm trying to present a layman's perspective rather than a technician, so I approximated the volume of the tank.

Thx for watching and the comment. There were several factors that caused that one braking experience to be less than spectacular, although there have been a few other times that I had to brake harder than usual and didn't feel like I was getting what I wanted. One of my other vehicles is a 1-ton, dually GMC which weighs about the same as the Grenadier. It does have 6 tires on the ground instead of four, so that would affect the braking, but it is larger and stops better than the Grenadier. Trust me, I want the Grenadier to be the best vehicle on the planet!!!

@@adventurerforlife-joel No doubt about that, I just haven't experienced it. To be fair I only have about 650 miles on mine so I'll see if I'm missing something. I have noticed that the brakes on the IG require quite a bit of pedal travel in a hard stop situation, but figured that was just the nature of the beast. I was able to get into the anti-lock on dry pavement once in a panic stop, so I feel like the power is there. My other main driver is an F150 and it is definitely boosted more.

@@MJ-sg8ov There have been a couple of times where I wasn't sure if the Grenadier's antilock braking had kicked in or not. I got a feeling that the vehicle should be stopping more quickly, but sometimes you get that sensation when antilock kicks in??? I'll continue to pay attention to it and see if I can come up with a "conclusive" answer.

Thx for watching and the comment. I'm going to work on the resonance and see what I can do to alleviate it. It's possible that it's not the table at all and maybe something that I have on the rooftop carrier???

Thx for watching. I appreciate the comment. My intent is to give honest perspective based on my experiences.

Thanks for watching. I love the vehicle. Like every other car, it's not perfect. They did a great job for their first try. Hopefully they'll continue to improve it.

Thanks for watching.

I've commented previously that based on the several hundred Grenadiers I've seen, the silver was not a preferred color choice, but it certainly is my favorite also. To me it's a classic color for a classic body design. Thanks for watching.

Thanks for watching and the pun. I do tend to use that word repeatedly.

Thanks for watching and the comment.

👍👍👍

Thanks for the comment. It is a lot of mowing, but I have some help. Thanks also for watching.

Thanks for your recommendation. Due to your prior comment, I looked at them online because having a smaller tent that is easy to deploy would be great. I'd need to see one in person before I'd buy it. I'm going to start a cross country trip within a few weeks and have decided to punt on the RTT for now. That's certainly not what I was originally planning, but after my misstep with the James Baroud, I want to be very sure before I try to buy another. I'm going to try to go to some off-road dealers during my trip and see what "all" of the options are. The ARB Altitude tent that I was wanting apparently is not yet ready for delivery. They have announced it, but don't have their stuff together yet. We'll see how this shakes out. I'm going to take my time and just do the hotel thing for now. Thanks again for watching and commenting.

Thx for watching. I'm enjoying it so far. It's not perfect, but you'll love it once it's yours.

Thx for watching.

You're welcome. Thanks for watching/commenting.

I'm glad it's working for you. I didn't want to modify my tent or platform rack. We'll see what else I'm able to come up with. Thanks for watching/commenting.

I'm having this exact siuation right now and that thought corssed my mind. Are you able to post o picture or link of the bracket you purchased? Thanks in advance!
