Grenadier vs 2024 Land Cruiser

DesertGecko said:

Bingo!

I came here all set to buy a grenadier. But then the price drifted up and up to a point where I had to call shenanigans.

So yes there are two groups of people here. One group wants verification for their purchase (and at the moment they all bought at launch pricing), and the other wants to find a car that can do the job. For some that might be the grenadier but I think objectively there are probably better options, such as the 78 series in Australia.

There has been talk that supply was constrained because of the V8, and that it might free up with the 2.8 turbo and the auto. If this happens and they don't go crazy on the price (which is as yet unknown) I think it's going to be hard to objectively go past. Plus at least in this stage is has the full force of the aftermarket on it's side with years of development, plus a known support network in Australia.

The landcruiser/prado this thread is about will probably also be a very good option but it's 12 months away.

Either way as I've said elsewhere I do think ineos might struggle to get new orders at their current prices.

Interesting discussion.

I’m wondering how a Poll of owners / confirmed buyers would look like if the following question was asked (and honestly answered):

Would you still buy your Grenadier if you had to pay the current pricing?

Why is this thread only compares the Prado with the Grenadier?
I think they are too different from each other o compare.

A better comparison would be the TANK 300.
It may even come with a heated steering wheel and entertainment for the kids?

When price is an issue, the TANK is a winner.

Seen the reviews on the Tank?
I personally wouldn't go near one. Resale would be woeful

Same here, I'd opt for a GX 300 or a 76 series

Did the sums on a 76 a few years back but then Toyota closed orders. It was 30k to spec it up with the usual gear, suspension, track correction and Recaros, and another 25k to convert to auto. So the TM at 127k was a steal. TM would now be 140k but still looks good compared to a tricked up 76.
