So, knowing what you know, would you buy it again?

Well I really threw the cat among the pigeons
Sorry so many felt offended
Some even defended the claim that forestry workers and defence use them
Ah wouldn’t that fit exactly into the category I suggested for owners
Other claim to own one because he tows a lot, with about 8 hours driving to the nearest dealer
Sorry to those I offended, that wasn’t my intention and my previous post was poorly worded
Anyway still really hoping Ineos can creat a better 2nd model without the “ quirks”
Each to their own

Trust me friend, here in Scottsdale...

As an Arizonan, this falls in line with what I see as well and from other posts of grenadiers in the US. Even on US lots you will see dealers putting options on a new grenadier that IMO ruins it (like mentioned red leather seats & horrible wheels). I think if you limited the questions I posed to the US market the results would be much different than the rest of the world. People do some ugly gaudy things to 4x4s here.

I think we have proved that having lots of disposable cash does not necessarily give you great taste.

In the UK, I give you The Chelsea Truck Company, (irony, huh!) https://www.chelseatruckcompany.com...-grenadier-2023-present-series-ii-bodykit-g22

To be fair to the CTC, this is the unpainted ABS panels, but so far as I am concerned they are still gash!

IMO, It looks like a bodybuilder on steroids, size is one thing but proportion does win out in my book. And when I checked out the wedsite the front looks like we have just overdone the botox in the top lip.

Last car was a Touareg Lux TDI. Luxury vehicle? Not really... just great MPG and performance on slick mountain roads. It was a reasonable tow vehicle with some offroad capabilities. Impossible to get repaired. Closet dealer was 6 hours round trip.

Why a Grenadier? I recently retired and am about to start an adventure traveling the rocky mountains with our Airstream. We have visted every part of Colorado, Wyoming, Utah, Texas, Arizona, and the Dakotas.

The Grenadier will allow us to see the remote areas of these states that where not accessible with basic AWD vehicles. It feels very capable and well built.

If it breaks down we rent a UHaul and a trailer to tow it to a dealer.

I looked at 1/2 ton pickups with the 3.0 diesel. Not as much room. Much less functional and probably more likely to have mechanical issues.
Boring as well.

Looked at Toyota and Lexus models. They felt like they would be easy to break off road. Potential engine problems as well.

I have owned: SAAB, Volvo, Ford, Chevy, Oldsmobile, Audi, Porsche, Lexus, Toyota, Mitsubishi... other car is currently a RAV4 Hybrid.

Classify me as you will. I look forward to whatever happens. I hope the Grenadier has incremental improvements as I have experienced some of the quirks.

Oh... averaging 20.1 MPG.

Thanks...

No offence taken, I just see all this as conversation and opinions to be discussed. I don't get all this offence stuff. I'm sure we are all adults on here and understand how discussions work.
