Hi - I just had a Wolfbox G900 installed. I'll be doing a video about it and all of the decisions that I made in the next couple of weeks - have some family obligations that are keeping me away from the camera at the moment, but it's already in progress! Thanks for your comment.

I got Scottish White, simple and utilitarian. One quick question. Have you heard, if and when Ineos will offer a factory bull bar in the US?
@MyAutomobileObsession
@MyAutomobileObsession 15 сағат бұрын
Thanks for commenting and congratulations on the Scottish White - it's very classic looking. The "official" word is that the bull bar isn't offered in the U.S. because it conflicts with the front PDC sensors which are a mandatory option here in the U.S. The only country that the bull bar is sold as an add-on in the configurator is Australia, but you can jump through some hoops and arrange to get one. Even my dealer had suggestions on doing so, so probably not out of the question to obtain. Cost, however, may be rather steep.

You said you once had a Range Rover LWB, which was a pretty big machine. How does driving the Grenadier compare to that experience?
@MyAutomobileObsession
@MyAutomobileObsession 23 сағат бұрын
It most reminds me of my first '95 LWB - Though, the Grenadier isn't as likely to make you sea-sick like the Rover used to - it had a lot of sway when you drove around bends. The LWB had great character and charm and wasn't nearly so fancy/posh as the modern day Range Rovers which sadly became a turn-off for me. The Grenadier is a bit of a unicorn on the road (which I enjoy), and it feels stable and solid (which is reassuring). I feel like the Grenadier will be the kind of car/truck that owners will look back fondly upon as something about being in it and driving it just feels unique/special.

Love your videos and laid back attitude. I'm on the fence about getting one. I dont like the center console, lack of speedometer directly in front of me, and the steering wheel issue. I watch you having to manually recenter the wheel after a turn. Wonder if you can show us a U turn on video. Hoping these issues will be resolved with the 2025 model. Maybe I'll flip a coin between this and 2025 Escalade, love this body and not much more but need more American comforts. CHEERS.

@@Jamaca22 I disagree. A tractor isn't designed for city driving and it still has center console guages and ends the turn by itself when mowing. Your reasoning is flawed. Just as the design "specs" of this vehicle are flawed. Nobody puts speedometer and important guages used whilst driving to the side of your line of vision. I suppose you've never seen cars that even reflect the speedometer onto the windshield so you don't have to look away to the right to find it. It's poor design. If it wasn't for LR Defender body style, this vehicle would be a total ZERO.

Thanks for your comments and I see some discussion which is great. I fall on the side of INEOS wants to be an off-road king but cannot ignore the fact that most vehicles will be used for on-road purposes. I've become aware of some corporate direction changes that lead me to believe that they see a brighter financial future by taking the Grenadier upmarket which pulls it further away from their original core off-road mantra. Only time will tell. Glad that you're learning little details by watching me actually drive the Grenadier! At the end of the day, the steering doesn't bother me, just the turning radius.

I’m looking at ordering the 1924. I can’t find anything else on the market that clicks all the boxes that I want. I want a vehicle that I can have for many many years I tend to keep my vehicles around a long time. I just took one of these for a test drive spent about 3 1/2 hours looking them over slamming doors looking under the hood trying to find fault. I was extremely impressed. The fit and finish was very good. It handled extremely well. I have a jaguar and a Nissan titan and this thing handled very very well the acceleration was phenomenal for such a heavy vehicle. It’s a purpose built vehicle but it was comfortable to sit in easy to drive and once again I was very impressed with the acceleration and handling. I think they’ve got my vote I went in really wanting to hate it. I’ve looked at the G wagon I’ve looked at the Lexus the high-end Toyota and for what I want which is a longevity vehicle this thing definitely fits the bill for me.

Sorry to hear this. If you're not in a hurry, contact Costco Auto program on their 800 # and share your dilemma and ask them to either intervene, or to connect you with a different dealer that may be a little further away. They tend to only have one dealer per area, but if you have alot of costcos in your area, each one can be linked to a dealer for a given brand, so know other costco zip-codes to provide and see if they can find you another dealer to work with. Also, since you've now seen this pricing it may be helpful in going to another non-costco dealer. Don't settle for a lousy deal unless the car you are trying to buy is a true unicorn. Good Luck!
