Travel Sickness

[rob88]

Is travel sickness a common feature of driving in a Grenadier? I took one for a test drive over varying terrain including a bumpy, windy road and my poor wife developed travel sickness. Of the four other cars we have taken over the same route, only the Grenadier was accompanied by this side effect.

When I was a child, whenever I travelled in our family car I got travel sickness. Dad fixed this by installing a metal impregnated rubber strap that touched the road intermittently. The logic behind this was that static electricity build-up which was inducing the sickness was being discharged to the road by the intermittent touching. I know that jet airliners have probes that point backwards and from the trailing points, static electricity is discharged. This is a real phenomenon and the treatment simple and effective.

Can I have a feeling from other Grenadier drivers about this issue. Is it real and what strategies have you taken to prevent it?

No, never experienced it.
Maybe it’s related to the death wobble, I haven’t had that either?

Look out of the window. Travel sickness is induced when looking at the interior of a car/ship/plane.

This truck has special metal impregnated rubber tires that does this.

It’s likely the B-pillar location. It’s pretty far forward relative to most other cars. Was she sitting very far back or low? Lift the seat a little. That may help. I noticed the pillar location while test driving, making a right turn at an angle and leaning forward a bit to see the cars coming. Not an issue for me at all, but could be for some
