waiting....waiting....waiting...like everyone else for a shiny new Grenadier.
It will replace my old MB Gelandewagon (1983 230GE - see below).
She was reliable, functional, practical & totally authentic.
However, she was from a different era and very under powered. Either fully laden or towing where I wasn't on flat tarmac or gravel roads was way too slow.
What will I use the Grenadier for:
Regular off-road trips (for camping, hiking, fishing) to non-remote locations , often towing a small light weight camping trailer; 220km round trip twice a month (partly on gravel roads) to a second house;
City driving.
No extreme 4x4 driving.
Yet to decide whether diesel or petrol (but leaning towards petrol).
