I figured that was a Landy door, but I was more impressed by his garage floor covering, but didn't want to be the odd guy that points out every interesting thing in a string of photosWe come from different worlds - I noticed the Land Rover door!

Excuse me sir, but the instructions from Leitner specifically ask you to use a carpet! I'd be lying if I said I didn't LOL when I read it.I figured that was a Landy door, but I was more impressed by his garage floor covering, but didn't want to be the odd guy that points out every interesting thing in a string of photos

Rather impressive 3 vehicles pulled by a pickup truck (high power engine I'm sure) and not a traditional hauler truck. Would have loved to see this truck and its precious cargo on the highway!!Made it - who's dream is coming true today?View attachment 7849157
Ran into @bbq4133 in the lobby - great looking Grenadier!

Thank you for posting this!You may recall that I went to RDS for replacement of my windshield back in late March. I wanted to follow up and note the parts that were required, and their prices. I've posted these once before to another thread, but having them twice won't hurt. The reason for adding to this thread is that USAA fully covered these costs, minus my $500 deductible.
I'm very happy with this outcome, especially given that I did not use USAA's preferred service, Safelite. I expected there to be some hand wringing, but this was approved within an hour of my submitting the receipts via the app.

Hi Scsmith42 - The Grenadier is more truck like than SUV. I say that coming from a New 2020 Land Rover Defender, which may be the ultimate SUV. The New Defender is super smooth around town and on the freeway and a pure pleasure to drive. It also has incredible performance too, (if you get the P400 engine with 395 horsepower).HELP! Tring to become a brand new owner, have Trialmaster picked out at the Boise dealership etc., but running into spousal person objections about the vehicle's suitability on the highway. This is based upon a throw-away line in a Car & Driver review that questioned whether it could be driven on the highway.
The other issue, and probably solvable is the difficulty of a short person to gain access to the rig. She is vertically challenged and doesn't think she can get into the vehicle, or drive it.
I will have her read this thread. Any other suggestions? TIA
Getting the side steps address the difficulty to getting in the car. Plus ppl who are vertically challenge love the command position and the feeling of safetyHELP!

We have zero "stability" issues with our Grenadier, none. Ours drives perfect, so if you don't like the test drive, all I can say is test a different one! We added Buzz sliders with a built-in step and my wife loves them - makes entry/exit much easier and she praises them every time we head out.HELP!

My truck is as planted as anything I've owned (bar the Fit - it rides like it's on rails ). Your better half has nothing whatsoever to worry about, it's as solid as anything. It is vulnerable to crosswinds, but every brick-shaped truck/van/SUV is too.HELP!
