Saw an article on a website called MotorBiscuit with a rather interesting section:
"Being a commercial vehicle built outside of the U.S. means the 25% chicken tax applies. And that pushes up the price to $73,100 for the base model. Stepping up to either the Trialmaster or Fieldmaster ups the price to $80,790, which includes shipping". I know that because of the weight it would be considered a commercial vehicle and thought this would have applied only to the Quartermaster as the US Auto industry has been fighting trucks made outside the US for years. When we did the prototype drive the Ineos Factory Rep said the vehicle would be considered a commercial vehicle - so will be interesting
Has anyone seen reference to whether the tax would hit the regular 4 door SUV?
From Wikipedia on the 'chicken tax:'
Would certainly suck to pay 9.25% CA sales tax and also have a 25% US tariff on this too.

Fans in the U.S. of the old Land Rover Defenders have been anxiously waiting for the similar Ineos Grenadier to land here. Now it has arrived, but will very many really want to buy one?
