Grenadier Ordered
Picked up my Grenny on December 26th from Red Noland in Colorado Springs. My 14 year old son and I flew from Kansas City to Denver late Christmas day. Chris picked me up from my hotel and my Grenny was clean and ready to go. The handover/process was very smooth and I was out of there in about an hour, Chris and Christine were great! We then drove 2.5 hours in stop and go traffic to Breckenridge. I received a ton of looks driving and had a lady in a G wagon almost rear end someone in downtown Breck because she was in an open mouthed stare! We spent 4 days in Breck and then drove the 10 hours back to KC at 83 mph. As soon as I got home I replaced the stock 255/70/18 AT's with Nitto Recon 285/65/18's. Before and after pics below.
Pro's
Solid build and sturdy as a tank.
Comfortable Seats.
Seating position is excellent.
View from windshield/safari windows.
Seat heaters are hot!
HVAC system worked great.
My stop/start button doesn't work and the vehicle thinks it's off permanately!
Engine was great climbing altitude and coming down.
Permanent smile!
Con's
Steering is perfectly fine and easy to manage on normal roads but you work harder in the mountains/on twisty roads.
There was a ton of wind going up so the vehicle moved back and forth a little more than I was used to.
Gas tank is small, had to stop for gas more often.
Experiencing some electrical gremlins, auto start/stop button, random warning lights, hood open warning even though it was closed.
Turning radius is tight and you need some practice to understand how and where to park.
Backup camera is small.
Premium audio isn't great.
For those that are comparing this on a spreadsheet to a high end luxury road SUV this may not be the best option for you. For me, none of the cons would keep me from driving this everyday with a huge smile on my face. Ineos knocked it out of the park and this is a great piece of machinery.
