Yes it is, The NATO socket is supposed to be 24v but I am assuming its 12v on the Grenaadier, better not use the NATO jump cable from my wolf defender, that's 24V.

As I understand it, if you order the electrical preparation and high load panel you will have the high amp NATO style plug on the back.
Provided it is only cable then it is safe to use
The rear detachable winch needs the towbar to attach to and needs additional wiring on the overhead control panel. Booking the winch guides you through what more is needed. I seem to remember that the extra wiring was already standard on the Trialmaster.
Same here in Australia, you can buy a reciever winch cradle for under $200 from Amazon and a cheap 5 tonne winch from discount places for under $600 if you already have the high load panel and electric prep in a Trialmaster then you would just have to put a NATO style plug on it and you would be good to go. It won’t be Red Winch quality, but most people will rarely ever even put it in the car let alone use it.
I went down the route previously to have a non-permanently-mounted winch. The reasoning was to give greater flexibility for recovery, cheaper, not having to carry the weight around all the time.
You pretty much nailed my opinion there.
Seems like that would do the trick. Just have to find nato socket plugs for the US customers to add to their existing hitch winches.
99% certain it is there. I think it was here that someone was asking questions around that and an adjacent component and its purpose
I will connect my portable compressor with a Nato plug to the rear outlet. Why do you want to use the one under the bonnet?
I like thought of what you’re doing but I like portable equipment so keeping the compressor and jump leads with the original crocodile clips means I can use on other vehicles or help out other people. Previously on my Defender I put Anderson plugs in various locations and put Anderson plugs on my compressor, jump leads etc. this time I’m keeping everything more simple basic.
