This seems to be recycled content, the photos are all from the previous press junket in February last year

I understand why a company would host an event and require a press embargo, but I'm not a fan of the manicured approach. Just deliver the vehicle already and let the customers put up their adventures, mishaps, and reviews on youtube. The opinions of owners that live with the truck daily matter much more to me when making a purchasing decision.

I’m happy to translate the gist when it launches in around 22 hours

Yeah.
I couldn't see anything new in it.
Maybe this reporter wasn't invited to the event in Scotland

2023 Ineos Grenadier review

Not only does it live up to the original Land Rover Defender brief, the Grenadier goes above and beyond but it's not perfect.

Edit: didn’t realise this link has it’s own thread.

Try putting that up in Bourton on the water?

Definitely more for day activities such as a day at Prescott or a Point-to-Point

edit: Prescott - Local Hill climb racetrack near Cheltenham

I've been running rhino rack platforms for a while and can give feedback on some of the attachments if anyone wants to ask.

Which ones would you advise against buying if any 👍🏼

But, why would you - place is full of Asian tourists and crap shops? Maybe protect your from the sun during the annual football match!

So true I really meant we live in a small island

Farm jack mounts are solid along with the recovery board mounts. Eye bolts have proven very convenient for tie down purposes even though the racks are strong enough to lash to directly. I use the larger sized ski/snowboard/fishing rod that affixes to my crossbars because I didn't want to mount crossbars to the roof rack on top (seems weird to do, but may be needed for the grenadier since it's not mounted on crossbars).

The spare tire holder is too small for gmc wheels based on hub size, so make sure it fits the grenadier before considering. The ladder has proved useless for me. Thought I'd need it to get up and down but it's much faster to just climb up from my tailgate. I assume it'll be much easier to use the ladder on the back of the grenadier.

I use plastic milk crates for my larger propane containers and just tied those down. That works fine for them and cheaper than the rhino stuff.

Thanks for that. For an extra spare wheel I’ll just ratchet strap direct to the roof rack But I’ll check out the high lift jack mounts 👍🏼
