The statement in which he said “we are building a car with products that most people use, to improve their car” was kinda crazy to hear and he’s kinda right. This car is awesome
totally agree. In my country people upgrade their engines with M57s, since they are bulletproof engines, they also go for a ZF 8HP gearbox, again, they are bulletproof, twin lockers for better grip, and so on, yet this car already has them. This is crazy good
Another brilliantly edited episode. When mainstream manufacturers want to collaborate with your channel, this just confirms your wide reach and influence in the 4WD community and beyond. Congratulations in achieving that level. Looking forward to more great episodes from you guys. 👍
Justin seems like a good bloke. Laughing at the crusty old guide (I'm in my 50's) "how many times did i say don't go though it, about five times I said don't go through it". . Fark off old mate the boss man said go through it! Good stuff on being invited boys. Always love your content.
I totally agree. I would’ve told him to head on back to the retirement village. As Justin said, “It’s what it’s designed for”. I do think it definitely needs to be on at least 33’s to give that dampener a little more clearance. A suspension lift can be easily achieved by simply adding Eibach springs. Ronny Dharl done so on the loan one he has and reviews extensively on his channel. Also I reckon the Silver coloured one looks tough as 👊🏽
As a Grenadier owner, and someone who has watched every review since the prototypes were first released, I can honestly say that yours was a the most interesting and most well-put-together video I've seen (from any country 'round the world). ✅ Well done, boys. 👍 Lucky you had Justin on board. 🙂
You wouldn’t happen to be the Grenadier owner living near Sorell in Tasmania would you? I was driving through Dodges Ferry today & saw one parked near the markets, I wanted to stop and have a look but nobody was with it, so pretty much pointless. Can’t wait to have a good look at one
@@GrenadierMichael Fair enough Cobba, I just thought I’d ask, there’s only 800 of you In Australia, probably only 5-6 in Tassie 😂 Nice looking rig. I’m currently waiting for my Landcruiser 300 Series GR sport to arrive & after seeing the Grenadier was ready to jump ship 😂👍
The best part of this video is that you actually got stuck. Most manufacturers won’t let their vehicles look bad. That, in my mind, made the Grenadier look that much better. The most robust trail I had the one I drove on was an industrial dirt road near the dealer (here in UT, USA) that was rutted up due to truck traffic. It felt great on the highway and equally great on the rutted dirt road. I suspect you would have made that bog work with a bit more momentum - and it seemed like Justin would have been cool with letting you go at it that way. Great sign that they’re not too worried about these breaking too easily. Very appealing package. My first time on one of your videos, but you guys, too, are obviously great at this. I hope to see many more of your videos in the future.
The ute and cab chassis versions will give the 79 a huge run for their money. 79's are popular due to their basic style. This is basic too but also has the quality, decent engine and mod cons at what seems to be a similar price. All credit to them.
That guy in the other Grenadier wasn't too happy, wasn't he? 😁 So lucky you had the big boss in the car with you. But kudos for being recognised by Ineos. Goes to show how much big brands value the quality of your contents, and your social media reach. I just hope as your channel grows, you still stay to your roots. As for the Grenadier, it is a compelling alternative vehicle to the norm. The $110k question is, if you were in that budget range, will you choose it over a 300 Series Landcruiser?
As someone not in that price range I’ve gotta say that yes I would take this over the 300. This won’t dust the turbos, this won’t suffer the heat soak issues the hot V engines have and it’s not compromised by the two different styles of suspension on the car. Having said that, another review shows that the 300 has better TC than the IG. You’ll need to spend more on the 300 to get the gear this already has. It’d be hard call to make and I guess, for some buyers, will come to who you’re trying to please with the purchase.
@@markmcgrath9098 only concern are those plastic cooling system parts that BMW engines rely on that fail due to heat cycles. If those fail in the middle of an outback adventure, you’re truly stuffed.

And being a new US Grenadier owner, nice job to the Ineos team on bringing this great vehicle to market. Cheers mates from sunny Florida!
Awesome episode guys. Great to see the boss backing his product. Big shout out to Justin. The usual tyres and lift would make these rigs unstoppable. Think I'll have to start saving for an upgrade to one.
What a privilege for you boys...shows your ingredients to making good content your obviously gaining traction 😂... and respected in the 4x4, camping community to get all these invites and given products to review. Congratulations boys you all deserve it...putting in the hard work and hours is paying off.
Awesome video. Well done guys. My Grenadier Quartermaster Dual Cab Ute arrives in Australia Q1 2024... Can't wait to get it out there. Going down an aluminium canvas canopy lockable solution weighing around 70kgs sitting on the massive tub.
Justin, what a legend! He knew his stuff, wasn't too proud to address the obvious competition to the Grenadier, address the reality of what the car is and isn't and didn't load up his spiel with superficial, useless propaganda. And he let you go through a puddle that the rest of his crew wanted everyone to avoid so that the car didn't get "slightly embarrassed" by getting bogged. Hey, these days all the ruts are 35inch tyres-deep, I can't go anywhere with my 32's anymore, so no shame in the factory stock Grenadier getting hung-up. Great vid guys, honest as always.
@@12angryrealists 60K miles and no issues with my Gladiator. With a good amount of moderate to low end hard wheeling. Funny how despite being so unreliable it’s usually Yotas and Ford’s that break on pretty basic stuff on the trails. Everyone just goes to the reliability meme but never talks about that time their Yota was dead bc of a dead alt due to stupid design placement of it, or that time their tie rod broke or they blew up their CV or their trans overheated. Or that time everyone had to turn around on a trail bc their rig wasn’t built for it. Granted we don’t have the 70 or 79 here which is a different story, but yeah, this Grenadier is nothing new or special in the States. Im glad it’s here, don’t get me wrong, it’s just tough to get uber excited about it here, given what we have had for decades and the price. Oh, and good luck getting itfixed in the boonies here in the US, both parts and a mech who knows all the euro parts are going to be hard to come by.

Great video and a chuckle with Justin in the back... the hole was there - we all saw it... top effort for having a crack... We love our Grenadier. It's comfortable and solid, all in one tidy package!
By being included in testing I guess that now means you guys are officially motoring journalist's. Ineo certain has built a box with just about all the fruit you will ever need.
Congrats lads..! This is undeniably a huge achievement for you. Great review. More of this will be coming your way, no doubt. I would love to see Ineos give you a Grenadier for the year to truly test its capabilities and allow you a few modifications to set this rig up as buyers would. Amazing content as always 👌🏼
When old mate pulls up that's one of those time you think back and wish you had a better response.... Cranky Santa: "I told you about 5 times not to go through it"........Pat: "yeah, after the first two times I turned the radio off mate". Great video gents, love the laid-back style and no bullshit information on the channel, very authentic.
As always lads, a very well done job. Reckon you boys are starting to build a pretty good following. And that's because you do what you do. Keep it simple keep it coming. Cheers
Santa "how many times did I say don't go in there?" Boys "we don't know we're busy listening to banging tunes on Apple car play with the boss man here bro".
Hahaha, he was all good in the end, he didn't realise Justin was in the car with us and probably just thought us young fellas were running a muck. Had a great chat with him at the end of the day.
@@AussieArvos All of which is a great lesson in not being a flog. If old mate had of know the boss was there and not said what he said, he didn't need to say what he said at all.
Great video boys. Love your work. Those two toxic old blokes need to relax. Obviously didn’t realise the boss was on board. How quick did the second one back pedal. I ordered mine last March. Hopefully pick up in January. But jealous to see you guys getting a free ride before I get to drive mine hahaha
Thanks Mark, spoke with him later on and it was all good, he didn't realise Justin was in the car with us, probably just thought we were running a muck
Three things: Great to hear Justin talk with knowledge about the market. What is the point of having people do a review of your product if they are not allowed to drive it as it was intended. Bring it our as a cab chassis with a 1200 to 1300 kg payload and you can have my deposit
I think they were being a bit condescending with the whole don’t drive through the bog and is your radio working. I mean seriously you need to push cars just a little bit to know there limitations. Now we know the steering dampener is quite low at the front and maybe needs a little protection aftermarket.
I'd love to see that thing go head-to-head on serious off-roading with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands. Unfortunately the G-Wagon is ifs up front nowadays. Yeah the Rubicon Wrangler has solid axles but it has Factory sway bar disconnects and way more travel and comes with 35s. The Bronco Badlands is ifs with a solid axle in the back but the ifs has tons and tons of articulation up front. The Grenadier is way too low and long but it's not terrible . When the going gets tough it would not hang with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands but I guess it's a lot better than the new Defender that's for damn sure
Great video boys. The Ineos certainly is worth considering, especially when you consider the insane prices being asked for 2nd hand Cruisers and the wait for new ones makes it a real contender.
Well done, Patrick, when you got bogged you didn't panic, you thought it through with advice from Liam, you got the vehicle out instead of revving the guts out of the vehicle and dispersing mud from A to breakfast time! lol Of course if you had of owned the vehicle, I would have expected nothing less! hahhahaa. The vehicle looks very capable, however, like Liam suggested I really think bigger tyres would be the go, but would you then have to adjust/change out the control arms etc? Certainly, if you owned one, the first thing that I would add is extra heavy duty bash plates! Great Video!
Best Ineos review I’ve seen guys. You deserve that chance, great attitudes and vibe. That lineup of contributors to the grenadier is instantly respect worthy. Epic video. 🎉
The best test drive video. A cool boss in the back, who takes the heat & laughs when they hit the sticky point. He personifies what Jim Ratcliffe & his mates wanted this car to be. 😅
Hope you guys told Justin it was the steering dampener and diff that got you hung up, was definitely a mumbo hole that was but i think everyone would have hesitated in your position. Definitely tires would be the first thing people change. Grenadier is near the top of my if i had 120k for a car list. Good job fellas.
Gosh a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is half the price and will smoke that thing off-road on a hard Trail same thing with a Bronco Badlands way more suspension travel full lockers way more articulation full sway bar disconnects with an electric button and you can get them on 35s from the factory
@@ronaldrrootiii6040 i can also buy a 5 thousand dollar patrol and spend 40 thousand to build it up to a top spec comp truck and outdrive anything you can think of. but i dont want to do that. and neither of those vehicles youve listed are on my "if i had 120k this is what i would buy" list.
Great video guys, love the way you keep it real. Good looking vehicle, practical and capable. That steering damper is in a pretty dumb spot. It is very vulnerable to getting hit. Something that needs to be addressed. It wouldn't take much to move it up and around slightly higher.
What an Awsome Video guys! :D been following the development of the ineos since it was announced for the First time and to see it now tackling aussi trails with you driving it is really Awsome! I am truly jellous! :D
Great video guys. Very impressive vehicle, bit of a shame about the cost and weight. A tray back double cab would go great guns with a slide on camper. Re tyres you can go from the standard 265/70 R17 up to 285/75 R17 and keep in the 7% increase rule without needing engineering in NSW, that'd give approx 28mm lift.
Great vid as usual. Should of told Grumpy Santa to f off then let him go off before letting him know the big boss is in the back seat! Justin seems like a good bloke.
I would definitely consider this over a LC300! my problem is how bushproof it will be and getting parts seeing they are only In Melbourne atm. We will see with time
@@4x4dan26 78 troopy owner. There is nothing wrong with being a troopy owner as it is an iconic vehicle. On saying that ASW is nothing but a winging Pom who thinks he is above everyone else👍
I can't wait for the grenadier quartermaster to come to the states, one of the first things I'd want to do is put an aussie tray and canopy on, plus a lift and 35s for a start.
Great video, got a good feeling for what the vehicle is like. I can understand their concern about the bog hole, it's easy to scratch up the rims, sliders, undercarriage etc in there.
The live axles in the Grenadier definitely help you feel more connected to the track, big difference is with the steering, the Grenadier is super light, and along with the auto transmission , you really just brezed along the track, definitely feel the road a bit more in the older rigs.
Another slam dunk of a video lads, you definitely pushed that grenadier to its limits, and even stock still doing the job well. Do want to point out the tyre size and correction; 265/70/17 is not a true 32” tyre but a 31.6”. Why am I specific? Next year VicRoads and VICPOL are updating the rules and now becoming more strict with everything, so that grenadier can have a 33.6” tyre at most but not a 34” without engineering. Be a beast with that rig on 2” lift with 33s on 16” rims and just have at-ing it on the tracks.
Despite how good or bad the car is... I believe you guys did a great job with creating this video... it became different from any other vehicle review videos and was very enjoyable to watch... just wished if it had included a bit more 4Wheeling... Happy to see you guys in touch with such a car manufacturer name
Just gotta say was impressed with your video and also Justin and his knowledge and good attitude, great review! I am pretty interested in getting this car in a few years once they have ironed out the quality of its finish from factory (some stories of trim not fitting right) and a stronger accessories market. Plus more long term reviews on durability. Also for insurance prices to reduce and for the car to be more easily registered throughout Asian countries if using it for cross country overlanding
How Mr passive aggressive coming to your window “your radio on mate “” LOL … should have given him the old “ don’t you know who I am !! And who is in the back “ … great video - looking to replace the wife’s y62 as she thinks it’s too big /wide .. this might be a good option but I won’t get much change from 150k but I do get the wife’s y62 so not all bad 🎉
another fun video. lucky guys to try out a new vehicle.the company picked a top engine for this bmw is pretty hard to beat. im still laughing that you guys had the boss with you. he shut down the the other crew pretty quick.all in all top video .I did see a write up earlier this week about that vehicle but it was no where near as comprehensive as you guys did, admittedly the write up did not have a vehicle to drive lol.again top video 👍 .
great video, review with the boss too. alot of useful information about the brand...dont like the 2 minders who say you should check your radio and dont go though bog hole - they should eat their words...I looked at alot of other australian review videos but your video tops them all.
What does low range have a manual mode do you actually lock it into a gear like 3rd gear low or second gear low from a dead stop not limited to that gear but locked into it completely? Because the Land Rover disco 2 had that over 20 years ago and it was extremely valuable when climbing a hill to not be in drive or first gear but to be locked in second low or to stop in thick sand or mud and be able to take off in third low what's a torque reduction and a gradual gaining of speed with no gear changes
Great episode guys, looks like alot of fun and a capable truck, what is old mates issue its a 4WD it built to go through bog holes. Keep up the great work
Those axles appear to be the dana 44 axles that come in the jeep wrangler rubicon which would be interesting because it would mean there's endless gearing and locker options already available on the market. Thats also a coil sprung, twin locked wagon. Howdy from the US!
Did you guys ask about fitting larger tires? I'd be interested to see how hard it wil be to fit 35s or even maybe 37s. Also I wonder if they wil do a mopar esc oem aftermarket options like lifts, roof racks, sliders etc
I will be very interested to see if this pushes Toyota to better their vehicles. For the price point of this compared to some of the Toyotas this seems leaps & bounds a head of it.
The statement in which he said “we are building a car with products that most people use, to improve their car” was kinda crazy to hear and he’s kinda right. This car is awesome
Yeah 100%, it was really interesting talking to Justin about this car, really cool to here all the inner workings on bringing a car to market !
totally agree. In my country people upgrade their engines with M57s, since they are bulletproof engines, they also go for a ZF 8HP gearbox, again, they are bulletproof, twin lockers for better grip, and so on, yet this car already has them. This is crazy good

Cranky Santa: "I told you about 5 times not to go through it"........Pat: "yeah, after the first two times I turned the radio off mate". Great video gents, love the laid-back style and no bullshit information on the channel, very authentic.
Justin said it himself "It won't be that deep" Awesome review fellas 👍
I'm actually impressed! It seems to ba a good package with the added comfort, great video guys 👍
Thanks Bush Tv!!
As always lads, a very well done job. Reckon you boys are starting to build a pretty good following. And that's because you do what you do. Keep it simple keep it coming. Cheers
Thanks Jon, means alot mate !
Glad the channel is on the up, and these opportunities are coming up for you. Well deserved, next year you'll be getting one for a week :)
Thanks mate, means alot! was awesome to get to do something like this !
Santa "how many times did I say don't go in there?" Boys "we don't know we're busy listening to banging tunes on Apple car play with the boss man here bro".
Always some old cranky bloke somewhere! Made it out anyways hahah great job boys
Hahaha, he was all good in the end, he didn't realise Justin was in the car with us and probably just thought us young fellas were running a muck. Had a great chat with him at the end of the day.
@@AussieArvos All of which is a great lesson in not being a flog. If old mate had of know the boss was there and not said what he said, he didn't need to say what he said at all.
Great video boys. Love your work. Those two toxic old blokes need to relax. Obviously didn’t realise the boss was on board. How quick did the second one back pedal.
I ordered mine last March. Hopefully pick up in January. But jealous to see you guys getting a free ride before I get to drive mine hahaha
Thanks Mark, spoke with him later on and it was all good, he didn't realise Justin was in the car with us, probably just thought we were running a muck
Awesome.Thanks for sharing and taking us along
Three things:
Great to hear Justin talk with knowledge about the market.
What is the point of having people do a review of your product if they are not allowed to drive it as it was intended.
Bring it our as a cab chassis with a 1200 to 1300 kg payload and you can have my deposit
I think they were being a bit condescending with the whole don’t drive through the bog and is your radio working. I mean seriously you need to push cars just a little bit to know there limitations. Now we know the steering dampener is quite low at the front and maybe needs a little protection aftermarket.
The TRUE test of a proper 4x4 is how well you can get it bogged and then I bogged. So Top Marks Chaps! 😁👍👍
I'd love to see that thing go head-to-head on serious off-roading with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands. Unfortunately the G-Wagon is ifs up front nowadays. Yeah the Rubicon Wrangler has solid axles but it has Factory sway bar disconnects and way more travel and comes with 35s. The Bronco Badlands is ifs with a solid axle in the back but the ifs has tons and tons of articulation up front. The Grenadier is way too low and long but it's not terrible . When the going gets tough it would not hang with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands but I guess it's a lot better than the new Defender that's for damn sure
This Grenadier review is probably the best so far on TH-cam. Pretty impressive car
Great video boys. The Ineos certainly is worth considering, especially when you consider the insane prices being asked for 2nd hand Cruisers and the wait for new ones makes it a real contender.
Well done, Patrick, when you got bogged you didn't panic, you thought it through with advice from Liam, you got the vehicle out instead of revving the guts out of the vehicle and dispersing mud from A to breakfast time! lol Of course if you had of owned the vehicle, I would have expected nothing less! hahhahaa. The vehicle looks very capable, however, like Liam suggested I really think bigger tyres would be the go, but would you then have to adjust/change out the control arms etc? Certainly, if you owned one, the first thing that I would add is extra heavy duty bash plates! Great Video!
Best Ineos review I’ve seen guys. You deserve that chance, great attitudes and vibe. That lineup of contributors to the grenadier is instantly respect worthy. Epic video. 🎉
The best test drive video. A cool boss in the back, who takes the heat & laughs when they hit the sticky point. He personifies what Jim Ratcliffe & his mates wanted this car to be. 😅
Great video. So good to see you guys being invited to a manufacturers testing day!
Fine I want one.
Justin seems like a legend
Hope you guys told Justin it was the steering dampener and diff that got you hung up, was definitely a mumbo hole that was but i think everyone would have hesitated in your position. Definitely tires would be the first thing people change. Grenadier is near the top of my if i had 120k for a car list. Good job fellas.
Gosh a Jeep Wrangler Rubicon is half the price and will smoke that thing off-road on a hard Trail same thing with a Bronco Badlands way more suspension travel full lockers way more articulation full sway bar disconnects with an electric button and you can get them on 35s from the factory
@@ronaldrrootiii6040 i can also buy a 5 thousand dollar patrol and spend 40 thousand to build it up to a top spec comp truck and outdrive anything you can think of. but i dont want to do that. and neither of those vehicles youve listed are on my "if i had 120k this is what i would buy" list.
Loved it!! And don’t let those boys bully you in the tracks!! Hahah that big hole was a classic. Thanks for the vid
Great video guys, love the way you keep it real. Good looking vehicle, practical and capable. That steering damper is in a pretty dumb spot. It is very vulnerable to getting hit. Something that needs to be addressed. It wouldn't take much to move it up and around slightly higher.
What an Awsome Video guys! :D been following the development of the ineos since it was announced for the First time and to see it now tackling aussi trails with you driving it is really Awsome! I am truly jellous! :D
Great video guys. Very impressive vehicle, bit of a shame about the cost and weight. A tray back double cab would go great guns with a slide on camper. Re tyres you can go from the standard 265/70 R17 up to 285/75 R17 and keep in the 7% increase rule without needing engineering in NSW, that'd give approx 28mm lift.
14mm lift
How was grumpy Santa!😂 Bloke needs a personality transplant.
Keep up the good work boys. You guys have probably the best 4x4 channel on TH-cam.
2 inch lift and 33's and that'd be a bit of a beast I recon. Awesome vid guys.
👍
Great video. The boss sells it well. Has all the extras.
This video confirms why I would have an IG in a heartbeat, nice work. Well explained Justin, you have the right approach.
Great job you two,I reckon old mate was a bit embarrassed after he gave you serve in front of the boss!!
Great and hats off to Grenadier to let young chaps experience the car and having the top guy with you :-)
Awesome video. These things do look cool and it was great hearing all this information and seeing some good clips of it performing.
Best Grenadier review I've seen, fellas, and I've seen a lot.
Great vid as usual. Should of told Grumpy Santa to f off then let him go off before letting him know the big boss is in the back seat! Justin seems like a good bloke.
I would definitely consider this over a LC300! my problem is how bushproof it will be and getting parts seeing they are only In Melbourne atm. We
will see with time
oh no!. Not allowed to drive a bog hole.. wot the.....great video
Congrats on getting a drive in the Ineos, actually looks like a decent offroader.
Andrew St Pierre White must be pacing around the room right about now
Was thinking the same thing whilst watching this haha! His face would be a red as a beetroot!
He won’t be a happy man but I guess he’s brain washed 79 owner
@@4x4dan26 78 troopy owner. There is nothing wrong with being a troopy owner as it is an iconic vehicle. On saying that ASW is nothing but a winging Pom who thinks he is above everyone else👍
I can't wait for the grenadier quartermaster to come to the states, one of the first things I'd want to do is put an aussie tray and canopy on, plus a lift and 35s for a start.
Great video, got a good feeling for what the vehicle is like. I can understand their concern about the bog hole, it's easy to scratch up the rims, sliders, undercarriage etc in there.
Do you guys reckon you feel more connected to your older fourbies while driving them offroad compared to this newer one?
The live axles in the Grenadier definitely help you feel more connected to the track, big difference is with the steering, the Grenadier is super light, and along with the auto transmission , you really just brezed along the track, definitely feel the road a bit more in the older rigs.
Great episode guys 🙌
Others have complained about the footrest in the driver floor, how did you find it?
Another slam dunk of a video lads, you definitely pushed that grenadier to its limits, and even stock still doing the job well.
Do want to point out the tyre size and correction; 265/70/17 is not a true 32” tyre but a 31.6”. Why am I specific? Next year VicRoads and VICPOL are updating the rules and now becoming more strict with everything, so that grenadier can have a 33.6” tyre at most but not a 34” without engineering. Be a beast with that rig on 2” lift with 33s on 16” rims and just have at-ing it on the tracks.
Thanks CJ! good pickup! Just noticed that! cheers
cant wait for the quaterhorse to come out i definately want one awesome vid guys Justin seems like a top bloke perfect person to lead ineos in Aus
Cheers mate!
Good presentation boys, well done!
Big boss was cool. Thanks for the review.
Despite how good or bad the car is... I believe you guys did a great job with creating this video... it became different from any other vehicle review videos and was very enjoyable to watch... just wished if it had included a bit more 4Wheeling... Happy to see you guys in touch with such a car manufacturer name
Santa Claus wasn't happy 😂 looks like you guys will be getting a bag of coal for Xmas 😂😂😂😂
hahaha, He was all good in the end, had a great chat to him, he just thought we were ignoring him and running a muck
Just gotta say was impressed with your video and also Justin and his knowledge and good attitude, great review!
I am pretty interested in getting this car in a few years once they have ironed out the quality of its finish from factory (some stories of trim not fitting right) and a stronger accessories market. Plus more long term reviews on durability.
Also for insurance prices to reduce and for the car to be more easily registered throughout Asian countries if using it for cross country overlanding
265/70r17 in inches is 31.7 in diameter. Wonder if bigger tires could fit without much drama?
They are pretty damn awesome, love the accessories!!
Nice review and good interview guys.
Love this! I wish more companies would come out and make basic, old skool vehicles. If this had a manual transmission it would be 👌🏽
Cranky pappa smurf wasnt to happy
Im surprised seeing alot of these around Sydney already not been out for long looks like they will out sell the new defender.
How Mr passive aggressive coming to your window “your radio on mate “” LOL … should have given him the old “ don’t you know who I am !! And who is in the back “ … great video - looking to replace the wife’s y62 as she thinks it’s too big /wide .. this might be a good option but I won’t get much change from 150k but I do get the wife’s y62 so not all bad 🎉
So did you advise them to bring it it out with bigger tyres?
A lot more car for the money than a 70 series that's for sure
another fun video. lucky guys to try out a new vehicle.the company picked a top engine for this bmw is pretty hard to beat. im still laughing that you guys had the boss with you. he shut down the the other crew pretty quick.all in all top video .I did see a write up earlier this week about that vehicle but it was no where near as comprehensive as you guys did, admittedly the write up did not have a vehicle to drive lol.again top video 👍
.
great video, review with the boss too. alot of useful information about the brand...dont like the 2 minders who say you should check your radio and dont go though bog hole - they should eat their words...I looked at alot of other australian review videos but your video tops them all.
why is Santa so mad 😂😂 Good the big boss has a sense of humour
Well done lads
What does low range have a manual mode do you actually lock it into a gear like 3rd gear low or second gear low from a dead stop not limited to that gear but locked into it completely? Because the Land Rover disco 2 had that over 20 years ago and it was extremely valuable when climbing a hill to not be in drive or first gear but to be locked in second low or to stop in thick sand or mud and be able to take off in third low what's a torque reduction and a gradual gaining of speed with no gear changes
Love this been looking at them for a while so good to see this video mind made up think this will be my next car
Nice review Gents! Good deal
Great episode guys, looks like alot of fun and a capable truck, what is old mates issue its a 4WD it built to go through bog holes. Keep up the great work
Those axles appear to be the dana 44 axles that come in the jeep wrangler rubicon which would be interesting because it would mean there's endless gearing and locker options already available on the market. Thats also a coil sprung, twin locked wagon. Howdy from the US!
Carraro axles made in Italy. Even John Deere tractors use them on the front.
Did you guys ask about fitting larger tires? I'd be interested to see how hard it wil be to fit 35s or even maybe 37s. Also I wonder if they wil do a mopar esc oem aftermarket options like lifts, roof racks, sliders etc
Is a single cab coming out. Perhaps an extra cab with a long tray
Honest review and a reminder that every car has its limits...Grenadier owners are going to get stuck sometimes....
I will be very interested to see if this pushes Toyota to better their vehicles. For the price point of this compared to some of the Toyotas this seems leaps & bounds a head of it.
Looks pretty awesome ! cant wait to see these modified. Why is Jeep never mentioned as a competitor ?
