Hello all,
I've followed the story of the Grenadier from the start, and have always considered the possibility of ownership to be in my future. I'd love to know what you drove previously, or what you may also have in your fleets, and what you think of the IG in comparison.
My current vehicle is a 2023 Audi SQ7, preceded by Gen 3 and Gen 2 F-150 Raptors which saw their share of dirt and airtime. The closest thing I've previously owned to an IG would have been a stock 1996 LX450 which I used as a "winter beater" & offroad park toy, and absolutely loved. I am also considering a new Disco-fender 110, maybe 130, but have had terrible experiences with JLR products: F-Pace SVR transfer case required replacement at less than 2,000 miles, and an F-type R that completely shit the bed...
I have two children under two in rear-facing car seats, and the Grenadier would be my primary vehicle - driving only an average of 6,000 miles per year. Finally seeing one in person this weekend at the local auto show has reignited the flame.
For anyone who's made the switch to the Grenadier from more performance-oriented vehicles - how has it treated you? I have no delusions about the expected road manners of a purposeful 4x4 SUV with a recirculating ball steering box.
Thank you
