Yes sir found that out also on my way home from the dealer in Clearwater FL. 70-80 MPH foot lightly on the gas to keep up speed, lift foot off, drone is gone. Not an issue around town however.

Transfer case is gear driven. I think this is the reason for the noise. The engine mounts are solid and not hydraulic so you get more transfer of vibration from that.
Are you sure about this? Not very likely on a newly designed transfer case as helical gears (angled teeth) have been used for ages, at least for the high range gearing.
This has been my experience. The main culprit is the heat shield underneath the rear skid plate closer to passenger side. If you grab it mine wiggled. I jammed some aluminum foil in there to eliminate movement temporarily. It definitely helps a lot.
Thanks! Just crossed 1000 miles yesterday. Loving it!
. 2nd I also noticed Ineos went pretty hardcore on the exhaust mounting engineering. It will be extremely unlikely our exhaust will fall off on thousands of miles of high speed horrible trail. Starting from the rear to the resonator it is a tradition shaped rubber hangar. But it is not rubber. It's a hd grey color type of poly with a higher durometer. My finger nail test told me so lol. Then moving toward the front there is another exhaust mount on the transfer case itself. It is also poly, orange in color and full captured by aluminum. My bet is some aftermarket group will offer a regular rubber hangers for Grenadiers that will only see paved roads.Actually it might be that it is a gear driven transfer case that causes the noise. I thought i read somewhere it was straight cut gears but might have got that confused with gear driven for some reason.
Yes, I think you are correct that somewhere someone else on the forum mentioned that chain drive transfer boxes may be quieter, however then they also mentioned chain stretch. I guess everything has a trade off. DaBull
Specs do state to use premium. From experience with my 2022 Tiguan, when she gets the good stuff (91 or 93 ethanol free) for long trips when I don't want to stop for 400 miles, the response is incredibly different
I didn't want to be the one to post it, but that was the first thing that got my attention haha
