Hi guys! Don´t be so impatient. It`s a totally new truck and a totally new carmaker. All the workshops all over the world have no experience with that truck.
Every totally new truck/car has lots of unexpected problems. They will be solved over time. The workshops need enough time/trucks to get experience. It will take 2-3 years before most of the nagging problems will be solved!
If you buy such a new car/truck, you will always be a testdriver/betatester!
In my opinion Ineos built an outstanding 4x4. There is nowhere in the world a better 4x4, not even the G-model. Up to now I went to my nearest dealer twice and had a very close look in and under the truck( I was crawling from the front bumper to the rear bumper under the car to inspect all parts). It took me at least 4 hours both visits. I have never seen more quality: doors, seats, axles, engine, gearbox etc..
I am an experienced "automecanic", it`s my hobby. I am doing my own cars since nearly 50 years( 25, at the moment I have a VW Lupo 3l, a Opel Astra Caravan, a Opel Speedster Turbo/it`s a Lotus, a Ford Transit Nugget-that´s a camper van with high roof- and a beautiful LR Defender 110 SW from 2015).
After my inspections I knew: I will buy that truck! To me even the price is not expensive, when you see how much quality you get! This Truck will outlive me and I am 69!
But I will buy it in 2025/26( model 26) when most of the problems are solved! It`s such a great old fashioned 4x4!
I still have the most beautiful 4x4(Defender), but its a vintage car not a daily driver. I would never buy it`s new successor, that`a Discovery or a Range Rover.
To you Guys: The Grenadier is not built as a daily driver to replace your Range Rover or your SUV! It`s built for difficult roads/pistes and off road driving. I was driving it: there is no problem with the steering and to park the truck in a row. It has the same dimensions like my Transit Nugget and I love to drive that car! The Grenadier is not built to drive mainly in cities or in rush hours. If you have problems driving it, it`s the wrong car. Look for an SUV or a normal car!
To the end: Please give the dealers, workshops and Ineos more patience. The Grenadier is the best existing real 4X4 without much "Schnick Schnack". To me the price is really cheap when you see all the best quality parts you get! An actual Porsche 911 Carrera ( Biturbo) with similar quality costs in Germany at least 160000 Euro! I love to pay ca. 86000 euro for my envisioned Utility 5 seater with leather.
And don`t forget: Most of the problems will be solved within the next 12-24 months and it`s not a BMW X5 or Porsche Cayenne.
Enjoy Your life! Hans
