Americas Portal Grenadier

Will there be a package offered to increase power for the portal version of the Grenadier?

My goals to pull a Burder EXP7 and order (when it arrives to the US) portal version but my concern is added weight and gearing will hurt power for such tasks.

just for reference, most portal axle trucks are relatively low output. They use more gearing and accept lower top speeds. The portals tend to get a bit warm on most trucks so 80mph + for long distances is kinda out.

What I am saying is the stock power should be plenty if they bring the gearing down a bit in the portals. Your top speed won't be 115mph anymore. Maybe 95mph or so and it will work better offroad and still cruise ok.

If you buy a portal truck you should be looking at things differently. They aren't meant for high speeds.

Tell that to my old 4x4 squared, she topped out at 130 and handled highway really well.
