My Grenadier was one of the vehicles affected by the tow hitch install, I took delivery without the tow package few months ago. A few days ago I had the tow package installed at the closest dealer and assumed everything is good. Well, it looks like it is not. I tested the 7-pin connecter with a...
I did not get my truck delivered with the tow pack installed which is unfortunate but was able to get the received from the dealer. I would like to add a simple 7pin/4pin combo unit to the blank hole under the bumper but need help with the wiring. I was planning on using a powered or...
In my car, the steel cable that secures the trailer hitch bolt is rusty.
My trailer hitch is a combination of a ball hitch and a claw hitch with a push through bolt. This bolt is secured against theft with a steel cable. The steel cable is covered by a transparent silicone tube (I suspect it is...
I unfortunately didn't order the tow hitch as a factor mount and need the female portion of one for my bike rack. Is anyone else in a similar situation? I'm planning to manufacture a hitch and would be happy to make a couple, if there is interest.
After getting my hitch installed, I noticed there is a big lip underneath that may get caught on ledge/rocks on departures. Not sure that is a valid concern yet. But here is a possible mitigation. Has anyone installed one of these on their Gren?
I have no idea if this will clear the lip as...
Can someone provide the mounting bolt pattern on the frame where the tow receiver would normally mount? Also could use the bolt size. I'm assuming there are captive nuts. We haven't ordered the Tow Hitch and are thinking up other uses for the mounting points if we choose not to add it at some...
What options are available in the UK for a removable front mounted tow hitch and removeable front mounted winch? I've seen some aftermarket options online but wondered if any are suitable for use in the UK given different regulations?
I spoke with 2 dealers last week (The one I purchased the IG from and the 1 I am having the trailer receiver sent to for Tow Package installed). They both stated that the only place the tow package is being installed and the software update is being done is at the port. Ineos has not sent the...
I have read that people who had purchased their Grenadier with the tow package are not be charged for the package due to the delay. I did not order the Grenadier, but bought one that had been rejected. The dealership charged me for the Tow Package. Has anyone else who has bought a "rejected"...
I've seen a couple members here paint their tow hooks. Wondering if they were removed first, taped off and sprayed, or brushed with enamel paint. Considering this. Please share any experience you have. Pictures obviously too if you don't mind.
I've noted that some people have had issues with other tow hitch tongues not fitting the Grenadier receiver. I have a collection of tongues and was rather surprised that only 3 of the 4 fitted the rear receiver while all fitted the front one. One tongue (hayman reece) was able to partially slide...
@FlyingTexan @Lord Ripon USA Strange but I'm pretty certain I checked the "hitch" option but when it arrived at the dealer there was no hitch. All our trucks have hitches, what I thought was my order summary has the hitch checked off. Dealer says it can be added for $1000 (800 parts and 200...
I got a call from my dealer, after they had a conference call with Ineos. There is a problem with the US trailer hitch package: evidently the brake and signal lights are not properly working in sequence with the vehicle lights. So the trailer hitch (Ball) itself will not be delivered, but the...
I noticed in a picture that one of the North American production vehicles landed at port of Georgia had a UK-style hitch receiver.
I have not seen any late model us-spec vehicles with a 2” receiver that also has a face plate for bolt-on applications here in the states.
I guess this is a plus...
Can your dealer add the Tow Hitch and electronics later on if it was not ordered with one ?
I Have a Vin, dealer sent me the spec sheet, but the Tow Hitch is not on the dealer spec that they sent me.
It is on my ordered spec sheet online from Ineos's website.
Thanks in advance for the help!
INEOS tow ball height 520mm from ground. My caravans ALKO chassis runs best at 430mm. So little information out there so I made my own decision and fitted myself. Now at 440mm.
Just a little something to blank off the receiver as I'm actually using it and don't want muck/dust/debris building up in there.
For the princely sum of £5.50:

I am sure this has been posted before.
I didn't order a tow bar during the ordering process, therefore yesterday I asked my agent to order one (a mistake).
Unfortunately, I was told that at the moment they cannot be fitted after market (so if you want one - ensure you order it when you place...
How will the US Class III NAS Tow Hitch be attached to the frame? Is there a photgraph or drawing ? Is there an electrical connection to which an after market hitch wiring harness can be connected?
The US configurator has only one option for the tow hitch, a Class III 2" NAS Tow Hitch and Electrics for $800 (seem like a lot). Am not sure what I am getting or how it is mounted to the frame. If any one has a photograph I would apprectaie it. I will not likley be towing with my IG, but am...
Hi, out of interest has anyone who optioned a tow ball/hook had it come with a cover for the tow ball? All my previous vehicles have but the Grenadier has not is that usual?
This is the same but without the checker plate, can't remember where i got it from originally, it was for the Defender (old TD5) but never used it.

The EU configurators (eg Austrian) give two tow bar options (UK has only one):
1. "Fixed" tow bar (ETC)
"FESTE „ANHÄNGERKUPPLUNG UND ELEKTRIK“ Feste Anhängerkupplung mit Elektrosatz. Die feste Anhängerkupplung lässt sich über drei verschiedene Montagepositionen der vertikalen Zugvorrichtung in...
If your battery is dead and you need Neutral for a tow or a roll or whatever, sounds like a 5mm hex socket and access underneath the truck is required. With the Grenadier's clearance (compared to any other ZF vehicle), hopefully this doesn't mean jacking it up.
It's such a common transmission...
