I always wondered why Land Rover didnt opt to preserve the classic front design of the car and just modernize it. Ineos Grenadier proved that it is possible and I prefer this design over the New Land Rover's front designs. I think it was a missed opportunity.

I spec’d one out and fitted very similar to the one you tested and that thing was around $90,000 before taxes. When they were first flirting with us on the Grenadier it was supposed to be affordable. It was supposed to be from what they were hinting at about $30,000 LESS than what they brought it to market for. It’s hard to convey it in text but the numbers just simply don’t add up.

With broncos and jeep wranglers coming in at 50-60k with lockers, 73k for a grenadier with lockers isn’t out of pocket. Also, Grenadier allows you to pick basically any option you want without gating them behind a trim level. They did a lot of things right but obviously it is expensive.

Yes, the price is high, but if you compare it to loaded wranglers or broncos, it is possible to spend the same amount of money, which is a lot

There is a lot of things I like about these. But I would have trouble trading in my Wrangler for one mostly because of things like, parts availability. When I break stuff on my Wrangler, parts are super easy to find. If you break an axle shaft in one of these, its going to be tough to find parts. I also dislike the lack of a proper gauge cluster. However, I LOVE the looks, and all the physical switches. Which makes the digital screen for the gauges even more weird.

Yes, I dislike the daft placement of the speedometer etc..

For a starting price of $71k on this thing that dashboard setup is pretty low rent. If I'm seeing it right there's not even a speedometer in front of the wheel which would be easy to remedy if they'd swap that 90's era "information screen" out for another standard display. 14 mpg is horrendous and I'm sure could be improved if they would let you take the vehicle out of 4WD mode for the street. I do like the look though. Looks like a combo of a G-wagen and a Defender.

I'm curious, did you air down lower than 40ish psi while off-road?

Would have been a good candidate for all those 5.7s that Toyota just threw in the dumpster out back of the Tundra plant.

Would love to see a real head-to-head comparison between this and the Lexus GX550 (both 6 cyl. turbo - no hybrid). Compare them for price, build quality/fit and finish, on-road (road trip) and off-road driving impressions and capabilities - though I would think the Grenadier is better off-road with the solid axels and 3 lockers, getting to the off-road I assume the GX would be a smoother, easier and a more relaxing drive.

With it's base weight, I would be curious to see what the snow and mud capability looks like when fully loaded up. Those wheel wells don't look like they can handle a much bigger tire than what is already provided, so I would just be curious about that.

You can run 34" tires stock, lift 40mm springs and you got 35+.

Idk? I like the design of my new Defender 90 more than I like this. I mean if you just want to keep that classic old defender look it’s fine but prefer the looks and clearances far more on my Defender 90. I have close to 13” of ground clearance before even going to off-road height currently. I would like to see a head to head on the Lexus, Toyota, Bronco, and Ineos. I am 55k miles into my Defender without a single issue. I’m sure the Grenadier has just as many electronics and bits that can go wrong as well so I will wait and see. Where would you get service on these? It looks like a great vehicle for the people it’s a good fit for. Just looks a little low on ground clearance. It will take quite a few bucks to get this built for solid off-road use. It’s already 90k without being fully spec’d. You would probably land around 110k. Hopefully the aftermarket comes fast and furious with parts for this. I hope they turn out great. Will just need to wait and see.

Looks super cool, great video TFL! $70k is just way too much money, though. I hope the new Land Cruiser doesn’t fall victim to the same problem.
