Is a USED Ineos Grenadier better than a Toyota 70 Series?

Grenadier is going to be better than 70 series in every way for most people except aftermarket parts support and load capacity with out modifications. I own a dual cab 70 as much as I like it for the ease of serviceability and parts availability I would not recommend any 70 to anyone who wants to tour with a family especially with teens. The back seat comfort and room is f'ing terrible and would be torture on a long trip.
A questions I have is how expensive and how available are Grenadier parts going to be when they are out of warranty when more will enter the used market and people that couldn't purchase one new may be able to acquire one used? In Australia at the moment most if not all Grenadiers are still under warranty with the 5 year unlimited km warranty that saves a lot of money on parts and repairs.
As both 70 and Grenadier are not the most economical 4x4s out there I am thinking the trade in and used prices for both could possibly take a major downward hit if the current Middle East situation becomes more protracted and fuel becomes considerably more expensive for the long term.

It’s interesting that both NA and Oz get five year warranties but NA is capped at 60k miles.

70 series wagon in black is one of the all time greats for me and one of the few trucks I’d trade my IG for without hesitation.

The furious debate would be whether to get a used V8 or go new as I prefer the latest look, but don’t want a 4 banger.

You really want the 1hz

I have 2- 80 series and the Grenadier. A 70 series is just as appropriate. Great similarities, but the real question is… why wouldn’t you just keep both?

I can think of one reason to not keep the 80, that is to get a 105

Depends on in which forum you ask.

Miss mine. If only I had three garage spaces. New 100% OEM 1FZ-FE long block, too.

Still glad to have this though
