    New Grenadier in Fort Collins, CO, USA

    Hello from Fort Collins, CO. Just picked this up last week. I got on the pre-order list last summer and then test-drove a demo unit at Red Noland (Colorado Springs) last fall. Christine and the crew at Red Noland were great. The vehicle is exactly how I ordered it. I won't go into...

    Has anyone in the USA received their jackets?

    My dealership, Mossy Ineos-Houston, says that the jackets are supposed to come from Ineos HQ. Writing them and contacting them they keep telling me to contact my dealer. Has anyone received their jacket and how? It's been 5 months it's a little BS right now.

    Americas What Are People Paying in USA

    I’m placing an order later today and curious what people are paying realitive to sticker price. My local dealer has several on the lot available but none are configured the way I want mine. They also have perhaps 15 with sold signs in the window so they are definitely delivering some units...

    Tongue Weight USA book vs hitch labels.

    In the handbook it is listed as 771 lbs (350KG) but there is a label on the underside of the hitch plate that states ~600 (273KG). Given the GVW and GTW are both 3500 KG (7716 lbs), using the rule of thumb of 10-15% you'd expect the TW to be at least the value in the book. For clarity this is...

    USA 7 Pin Round Brake Controller Wiring

    Exhausted searching for this, so if I missed it let me know. USA 2023/24 spec has a 7 pin round trailer electrics connector. Pin 2 should be a lead that is wired for trailer brakes, but given there is no brake controller fitted stock I am wondering if this lead is wired in the socket, and if so...

    Hello from Georgia, USA

    Will hopefully be picking up my new IG tomorrow and cannot sleep as if I am a 10 year old waiting for Christmas morning! I have purchased many new vehicles in my lifetime (literally 200+) and some have cost much more than this but for some strange odd reason this one is more special.

    Americas The Best Review Ever

    There is a lot of garbage unfair reviews out there from people that don’t own a Grenadier, only drove them for a day, and that try to find issues to make their reviews more interesting. Ok, here is an honest review you can rely on, also to the FN point! The Ineos Grenadier Fieldmaster with...

    Americas First Weekend With The Grenadier

    This was my first full weekend with my new Grenadier. It is a Donny Grey Fieldmaster with the rough pack, dual auxiliary batteries and just about everything else. My verdict? We love it! My wife loves it, the daughter loves it and most of all, I do as well. It is easy to steer, easier to...

    Finally inspected my Grenadier

    Americas Basic (USA) model differences?

    The Fieldmaster and Trailmaster appear to be co-branded configurations with a fixed set of options. What are the major differences between them? Is it better to go with the "base" model and add what you want? Is it cheaper to get a package in the Fieldmaster/Trailmaster? I am thinking about...

    EZ-Pass USA mounting suggestions?

    For those of you in the United States, where would you recommend we mount our EZ-Pass tags?

    China vs USA build quality

    I bring this up here because I've seen some opinions about "Chinese junk" on the forum. (And I've mostly agreed.) I personally still have an old-fashioned bias that says "made in the USA (or Canada or Europe)" is probably better than "made in China". For most things. But is it? I think it's...

    Americas USA Payload Stickers

    Hello All, I saw two demo grenadiers during a recent test drive. One was a trial master and the other a field master. I looked at both of their payload stickers and they are showing only around 814lbs? Surely this is some type of mistake. Can anyone confirm? Regards, Kenneth

    From the forests of Michigan, USA

    Got tired of waiting for an invite. Flew to Edinburgh, Scotland, sat in a Trialmaster, wife likes the seats, came home and ordered one. Too bad Ineos never invited me to a press event or early order event. Might have ordered one last June when USA sales launched. Happy to wait well into 2024...

    Hi from AZ - USA

    Can’t wait till they are released in the US. I haven’t seen them in person yet, but what I have read and watched I love them. I like the back to basic idea, less electronics. I hope they are reliable. Don’t mind paying $85k+ if it is going to last me for 15-20 years. That is my goal.

    Just been playing around with the configuration.

I'd like the Fieldmaster edition with 17" alloys, so I can...
