I’m about 1.5 hrs away from Regal and don’t want to deal with expected warranty issues. If I lived 15-20 min away I would be fine with making a trip to the dealership a few times to get things sorted and save ~$7-10k.
Shouldn’t a new vehicle from the dealership be sold fully functioning?

Should, yes.

Anyone here with experience with these cars to help out with checking out a vehicle at Regal?
Drove the 2026 and it was great. The 2025 issues (leaks, hvac, steering wobble/noise…) have me concerned, especially the hvac. Check out the hvac thread - poll.

I bought my new 2025 in November and must be one of the lucky ones who don’t have these issues. I know it was a newer arrival when I bought it and not sure if they implemented any of the fixes before the 2026’s came in. I’m going with lucky so far…

One 2025 I test drove took 15-20 min to blow warm air. It would still not do it effectively from all vents.

I bought my 2025 in August and have made several road trips. I haven't experienced any of the major concerns you mentioned but I did read the 2026 Grenadiers have improved the HVAC and tightened the turning radius a bit.

To the Atlanta Grenadier Group, we had a great meetup Saturday at the Brooklyn Cafe. Plans were discussed to head up to North Georgia in our Grenadiers and do some off-roading together. Looking forward to it!

Have you guys gotten the aftermarket Fox stabilizer installed yet?
If yes, which version, where was it installed, and how much?
Did you purchase at Regal? If yes, how has the experience?
How has your experience been with their service dept?

No aftermarket stabilizer for me. I haven’t felt the need to replace the OEM. I may at some point if I adjust the steering stops and need additional travel in the stabilizer to bring the turning circle in a bit. I’m still evaluating if I need to do that. If I did, I’d probably do non adjustable because I would anticipate making adjustments once it’s on. As far as Regal service the jury is still out for me. I wasn’t impressed with the previous service advisor Liz. Michelle replaced her and I think she is better. I haven’t had much done by them at this point.

Sorry I missed this, but I'm in for off-roading up in N GA! I also got one (fingers crossed) that really doesn't have any issues. There are a few quirks like the front camera light coming on randomly, but it doesn't affect anything. HVAC works fine for me, but I tell people not to expect subtle climate control. Its blows hot or blows cold, take your pick
