Hi, Florida resident here and 250 or 350 driver for the last 10 years. Saw an Ineos down in Boca Grande, AMAZING and gorgeous vehicle! Love it.

Anyone have a comparison to a Ford F250/350? Currently driving a F250 w Carli commuter suspension lift and 37's. The Carli suspension w Toyos is amazing, equal or better than stock, which was already great, with stock street tires of course. Had F250 with simple leveling kit before plus 35's and it was horrible, almost switched back.

I would prefer a small lift to properly fit 35's for vanity. Being that the Ineos is a legit offroad vehicle, I expect the OEM Ineos rides rougher than an F250 which is more cadillac cowboy in OEM trim.

Has anyone owned both or have some other relevant comparison? Have folks been successful in improving the ride with suspension upgrades? Not that it needs it, just as a possible indicator. Thanks for the help.

Not going to handle comparably for a daily driver. You will have a reasonable chance of not enjoying the Grenadier. Give one a test drive, but I'm not a ford guy at all but I would take one over a Grenadier when daily driving.

My stock 2001 f250 with the 7.3 gets better MPGs.
No contest towing, though the Grenadier tows much better than I expected for a short wheelbase vehicle. Plenty of power as well.
Gren rides better, but it's no luxury cruiser.
F250 tracks straighter on the highway.
F250 may be the only vehicle with worse turning radius than the Gren. Possibly worse than a school bus!

Overall, I'd rather daily the Gren, but my F250 is from a different era than a modern one. It will be eligible for antique plates next year.
