Agreed. Unlike most of what I’ve seen this wasn’t very polished, but quite authentic. I’m not discounting the other videos, but crappy music aside, this seemed to show the truck for real.

Another video. Test drive by expedition portal in USA

This the best video I have seen so far.

Seemed real and honest with a practical demonstration of real world use.

I am looking forward to seeing more like this as it gets in the hands of more people who will do reviews/videos like this.

Great video ~ I'll need to watch it again but it did make progress look easy through the cross axle sections.

Perhaps a bit more wheel spinning on a couple of occasions with no obvious sign of traction control kicking in?

Great review and technical driving. Agree with those who say these are the type of videos that are going to sell this vehicle!

Add to that its almost my spec driving round (mushroom on steelys and BFGs with RAI) its a great little video to enjoy on xmas eve!

Finally, an article that even halfway shows the potential of the Grenadier. I wonder why Ineos hasn't shown this in a video before. Many critical videos about the Grenadier are thus exposed as incorrect. The Grenadier is the Defender, which mine should always be. But it never could be, due to its careless assembly. Glad that I will have the Grenadier soon.

Same here, if only they hadn't forgotten to fit the 3.0 litre engine, auto box and front & rear locking diffs. 😉

Did they have the diffs locked or was it mild TC???

Once you engage the central lock or either axle locks the traction control is turned off.

I can understand why traction control would be turned off if an axle locker was engaged but to do so for only the central diff lock just doesn't sound right. It's the perfect time for it operate, especially for those vehicles without axle diff locks.

We know from the pages we saw from the Pocket Guide that ESC is disabled when the front and/or rear lockers are engaged, but have you got more info on ETC being disengaged (particularly with the centre diff locked)?

I don't understand the engineering just recall hearing it in a video from an Ineos driver

Traction Control? Sounds electronic to me, but there is nothing electronic like that, I guess? Did I miss something?

Or do you mean Traction Control by means of mechanically locking?
