I drive mine 18,000 km so far with no issues and ive been dune bashing with the grenadier on a daily basis. Love the car one of the best car choices i made ❤
As a UK owner of a 2 seat IG van for 17 months, think your about right. Software switches you need to reset and learn. But it's the most capable standard truck you can probably buy. I use mine for work as a fencing and forestry contractor. It's better than my old defender 130. Apparently they are thinking of producing the Quartermaster on factory portals and there would be room for an under slung tank. It's good to see you looking at different vehicles, keeps the channel fresh.
Best view of the Grenny so far. I’m up to 48,000km in mine now. I pretty much agree with your findings. I love mine and wouldn’t swap it for anything, except maybe the Quartermaster although I think the rear legroom in the QM is not quite as good as the waggon, and I have almost 3 teenagers. My only gripes are the lack of a workshop manual which was promised at launch. Come on INEOS, it’s been 2 years now! The lack of a fault code reader that can clear codes and reset service intervals is also a gripe. I guess this will come, the demand is there! I recently serviced mine myself and had to go back to the dealer anyway to get the service interval reset.. not good. Overall I’m delighted with is though.
I have driven my 2 seater for 19,000km now. That was a fair and balanced review of the Grenadier. BTW INEOS ANZ is in the process of building up a Grenadier cab chassis show car with all the fruit from Australian accessory makers like JMAX, Redarc, Norweld, Brown Davis, etc. Others have also come on board like KAON, Euroflo, etc.
Ronny did a great job testing this vehicle, I enjoyed watching it and even test drove the Grenadier, I don't need to point the pros and cons. At the end, price wise, and half the cost, a 2021 Defender 110 was my choice 😂. My top dislike for the Grenadier is the way it steers.
My main problem I can’t get diffs on tap when I need them most always holding up people trying to them in engaged. It’s going back Friday as there is a loud clunking noise when going over speed bumps and also slowing down etc.
@aggitravel i'd bet odds on the clunking is your steering damper and arm. Grab the connecting bolt in the middle, pull it forward hard, it rotates and clunck/rings, now push it back hard, it again rotates and clunks/rings
@@aggitravelcheck out the steering shock absorber’s cover. If it’s loose, just wrap a piece of these u shape rubbers with metallic inner insert (you know the ones used to cover the edges of the bumpers or the chopped fenders) around the edge of the cover. Cheap and effective solution.
I feel like I live a sheltered life, as I finally saw one on the road the other day! 🤣 I was impressed with it... looked great, sounded great... definitely would want one! 😂 Thanks Ronny!
Thanks for a great and honest review. The headthing is always a big problem, also I think that Ineos did a great job for a brand new on the market car and shouldn’t get stuck of some of its problems that have to be sold. Give it a chance and honestly, how many new honest off-roaders are built today?
Ronny! Thanks for another great vid. I know you can’t help me here but I’m sure others may offer opinions haha. I’m stuck deciding between a used G wagon (2015-17, depending on trim & km) or a Grenny in magic mushroom! Light off roading, not a daily, hauling dogs, trails, will tow, looking for character & fun. Ideally holding on to it for some time. Help! 😂
Not only large batteries. All the “safety tech” that are mandatory are adding more and more weight also. In the case of the grenadier, the frame is just too massive (you would not believe how think the walls and the cross members are) also the axles are pretty heavy but also duty
I test drove one in London today. It was beautiful, I sat very high up, it was very comfortable and it felt like I imagine what driving a tank would feel. Two insurmountable obstacles for my were 1. The awful turning circle - surely this could be made tighter. 2. No satnav - what? With constantly changing road conditions all over the uk we need information on alternative routes all the time. And finally, there are some changes to the taxation of Chelsea tractors which are going to add many thousands of pounds to the cost of these beautiful vehicles. I loved the look, I loved the drive but those two problems made purchase impossible.
Apple car play is better than any satnav I have used. It’s always up to date and traffic data is live. Plus you can use any phone mapping app like Gaia gps. It works well.
you don't want sat nav built into your vehicle by the manufacturer. they rarely get updates and are obsolete quickly. far better off having an aftermarket stand alone one that's better from the start.
Offroad vehicles don’t generally have tight turning circles and London is hardly the intended domain of this vehicle - LR Defender is what you’re after.
Sat Nav you can get when your phone is paired with the head unit. Steering can be adjusted, some owners have wound the limiting bolt on the diff to make it turn tighter.
Impressive and informative videos. Appreciate it. Thanks. Wondered about the after sales service though eg parts and aftermarket since it is unique production vehicle, unlike Toyota that have parts and aftermarket everywhere
Ronny How much is the exact fuel tank? How many kilometers does it travel? Have you tried a gasoline or diesel engine? How high is the ground clearance? Has the suspension been modified or is it factory-made? Please reply
The biggest down side is its weight because here in Switzerland or in Europe general it think is the max weight for the normal car license 3.5t so whit a weight of 2.8t there are only 700kg left what is not that much
Bought one because of your reviews- I did a test drive obv but this thing looks like it will handle it all I am definitely going to f to add a bigger tank though
@ seems that motor is a good one. Nice to know. Thanks for setting me straight. Still I would like the diesel as it might get better mileage? But most any motor gets better mileage than my B30 in my 1975 Volvo C303! 7 mpg is bad ! Lol. 😂
I find these reviews are colored by the reviewers obligation to the car company's for giving them a the vehicle. As in the TOYOTA 300 engine failures poorly or cheaply deigned and not really mentioned in any review. 130k is a lot 95k more like it, and in two years what will this car be worth? probably 50k?
Jeeps and Land Rovers have always been the best wheelers. Why would anybody be surprised by a 4WD designed based on the original LR would be good off road.
Why would AB put you off buying any vehicle? I used to think the same re auto, but the Grenadier set-up with the box is so sweet I would think a manual would be a step backwards.
I'm seeing more and more TH-camrs who are having catastrophic engine failures on their Prado's and Landcruisers. I'd say for the money you are going to be better off purchasing something like the INEOS that gives you much more value than an over-priced feature lacking Toyota.

Yes, the lack of promised service centres and manuals is a real bug bear. Especially when you're far away from the nearest dealer.

What does the 76 series weigh when you add a steel bar, winch, sliders, snorkel, front and rear skid plates and aux battery?

Mihe had the ABS ring failed at 18k. After 2 months at the dealership, they managed to fix it without replacing the whole car.

So, Ronny what was the tire comparison to your LC? If you upsized the tires, would have it got stuck.
I feel like I live a sheltered life, as I finally saw one on the road the other day! 🤣 I was impressed with it... looked great, sounded great... definitely would want one! 😂 Thanks Ronny!

Good on ya Ronny love the honesty with the left foot thing being a placebo
Great series Ronny, but the 64 thousand dollar question...if could only have one vehicle and same budget to spend...what would you buy ?

Great review Ronny!
Also if you can pick up and ex demo or used. You are on a winner.
Ronny you have justice to the Ineos Grenadier. Thank you for this series
Great video, even the bots approve!
The new Prado is about the same at 2.5 - 2.60 tons. They're only going to get heavier when they all have large batteries
Not only large batteries. All the “safety tech” that are mandatory are adding more and more weight also.

Isn’t that the reason why you sold the LC79… to replace it with an Ineos Granadier ute version 😂 thanks Ron, great series mate!!
love the review..
nice to hear an honest thought.. be it your own.. but best review found so far..
Love the vids
Saw a Quartermaster the other day. If I was shopping around for a 6 figure 4wd it would be pretty hard to walk past it
Impressive and informative videos. Appreciate it. Thanks. Wondered about the after sales service though eg parts and aftermarket since it is unique production vehicle, unlike Toyota that have parts and aftermarket everywhere
Thanks been waiting for that! 10/10 review
I would love to get one of these. I just can't afford it lol
Ronny
How much is the exact fuel tank?
How many kilometers does it travel?
Have you tried a gasoline or diesel engine?
How high is the ground clearance?
Has the suspension been modified or is it factory-made?
Please reply
90lts, 500+klms, he has (to my knowledge) only driven a diesel, 265mm, he has, like me the Ibach lift springs @ 40mm
Wish we could get the diesel here in America
The biggest down side is its weight because here in Switzerland or in Europe general it think is the max weight for the normal car license 3.5t so whit a weight of 2.8t there are only 700kg left what is not that much
Just realized I have a new hero. And it's the cat from this video🔥
Bring a single cab out ill buy one
It wa good value for money when it launched … the $15k price hike at one point was bit too much
Petrol vs diesel ineos..... pros n cons?
Bought one because of your reviews- I did a test drive obv but this thing looks like it will handle it all
I am definitely going to f to add a bigger tank though
J'ai essayé d'expliquer au gars pourquoi je riais si fort et nous avons fini par rire seuls🍭
"Would you buy one"
We all know he bought the new 250-series Prado
There's a reason for that. Ronnie is catering to a market. Has nothing to do with which wagon is better.
RD would not buy one as it would not give the required clicks for his channel, that’s why he bought the new Prado without even testing it
You have to evolve and stay relevant as a YT'er. I guess that's why 🤷♂️
this review brought to you by...
Toyota
Of course he wouldn't buy one, its not a Toyota.
Hes been a toyota fan from day 1 ahahaha #staysalty
Continue to delight us with your unique ideas. Your videos are a true inspiration.🐻🧢♂️
Not sure how many are on the road, but have observed two on the back of a tilt tray here in the Pilbara.
Cool story….
One of them was the drowned one from the Tanami.
Can’t get the diesel here in the US and I’m not fond of BMWs gas motor reliability these days. Glad you got to use it. Cheers.
Do some investigation in the B58 to prove your view.
@ seems that motor is a good one. Nice to know. Thanks for setting me straight. Still I would like the diesel as it might get better mileage? But most any motor gets better mileage than my B30 in my 1975 Volvo C303! 7 mpg is bad ! Lol. 😂

Cool story, brah….
I was ready to buy this and pulled the plug at the last minute, Screw the French!
I love my new G wagon!
lol, trying to decide between the two…used G that is
Jeeps and Land Rovers have always been the best wheelers. Why would anybody be surprised by a 4WD designed based on the original LR would be good off road.
Land Rover & wheeling are currently mutually exclusive, friend.
best in the 60's maybe
Just two things put me off.Adblue and only comes in auto.☹
Why would AB put you off buying any vehicle? I used to think the same re auto, but the Grenadier set-up with the box is so sweet I would think a manual would be a step backwards.
you can delete the adblue at a tuning mob with a laptop
@@iwaswrongabouteveryhthing has this been done with a Grenadier? I personally have no issue with it.
Should have kept that vehicle instead of going for another toyota :)

Not first. Even though it just posted.
Why haven’t you reviewed the tank 300?
Probably waiting for you to give him one
@ maybe it’s because it will mince the new Prado. 😆
