Ownership Summary

Hoping this thread can give a compilation of experiences through our milestones

As I close in on 18 months and 10K miles, here are my gripes:

• Windshield has cracked twice now. First was from a rock. Second was from impact as I slid down a steep incline
• Concerns about the front drive shaft, especially since I'm intending to lift
• AC craziness if I adjust the temperature (hopefully address during next dealer visit)
• Infotainment and software are a bit whacky in so many different ways (hopefully address during next dealer visit)

Otherwise, I've had fun owning the Grenadier. It feels absolutely robust, it looks great, and has delivered its promise as a capable 4x4. If I had a chance to do it again, I would absolutely get a Grenadier over the competitors (Defender, Bronco, Wrangler, GX 550, Land Cruiser).

Glad you're still loving the truck despite the issues. The AC and software problems are very common and a dealer visit should sort them. The front drive shaft is a known concern for lifted trucks, so definitely look into that before you do the lift. The windshield seems to crack easily for many owners. Thanks for the honest summary.
