Does it have him strapped to the roof rack with Gwen driving a slalom course?

Did I miss something - or did he cancel the second "version" of his outburst as well? I can't find it anymore?

UPDATE: If I'm not mistaken, you can klick the links in this thread, but you can't find it anymore on youtube by search: it seems not anymore listed ...

Surprise.

I remember reading somewhere that Ineos did testing at twice the payload. Not sure if that was on the roof or not but they were lugging around 2k in/on the truck.

The idea that a manufacturing and engineering giant like Magna wouldn't test a vehicle with a load in it, is frankly laughable

It's like me saying I've never seen Boeing publish a video testing their new plane in freezing conditions, they must have forgotten....

I think I recall somewhere Justin Hocevar said it was tested at 2 x the rated load as they know people will overload them.

I remember people commented that this vehicle looked very low to the ground:

And gear on the roof but interestingly not a Rhino Rack...

Static roof testing all done in plain sight:

Probably he would say that they are cheating: the plastic boxes are empty, and the tires are full of air, and everybody knows that air doesn't weigh

I understand where he is coming from.
I emailed Toyota asking for proof on their load rating for the LC300 and not even a negative reply
It's like they don't even care about me.
I have over 26,000 followers on LinkedIn and I am a global brand ambassador for Xero shoes.
I will never buy an LC300 now, well wasn't ever going to but..........

Seeing we have probably disqualified ASPW from being the Grenadier ambassador should we ask Dave or start a thread on our personnel choices?

A great choice for the Aussie Ambassador. I think Rick Stein would make a great UK Ambassador...both are tucker men...and Stein could flow over into EU...

I believe Rick Stein is married to an Aussie and has a restaurant and house here so he can be a global ambassador. He also used to drive a defender in many of his shows, so it might be time for an upgrade.

Does the vehicle/brand need Ambassadors?

If you need to see a famous person associated/photographed with the Grenadier before you will click on a link, then you're not the person the vehicle is aimed at.

The car's the star.

Probably not, but if he’s not a prick and can make a mean bouillabaisse there’s no harm…

@Logsplitter , kannst du mir bitte ungefähr markieren, in welcher Ecke ich Rick Steins finde. Dann werde ich beim nächsten Mal dort vorbeigehen. Thanks.

Our Bushguide obtains his ingredients for free , in remote locations, so if we're trying to cobble up authentic cooking 4wd stars , he's really the only choice

Very well spoken, Mr. DCPU!

Perhaps some people may see it different - but in my day dreams I WANT TO BE THE FAMOUS PERSON who is sitting in the Grenadier, I WANT TO BE THE SPECIALIST that talks about this great new offroad car. And I hope that I will geht my IG soon, and all the others too, so that we can perhaps meet at the parking place - and say hello to each other - from FAN to FAN.

I have been in holiday with many Defender Drivers, they are cool people. In March we will start to Tunisia with Toyota People and a Wrangler, too (I hope so). And it will be funny again.

YOU AND ME - WE ARE THE PERSONS that drive the INEOS GRENADIER - that is famous enough for me....
