He might be thinking about how to keep the fans happy a Dual cab Gren and the 76 Toyo wagon...Just a thought
Cab Chassis version with a lift and GVM upgrade to 4.25T
Apparently it’s a bad infotainment screen causing the issues. Ric let me know this morning to come pick it up Friday. He said if they don’t get a new one in from Ineos he’ll rip one off a car in the lot to get me driving.
I have a feeling 4.2 may be a bridge too far due to the front axle load capacity(?). If you were going to tow that weight, maybe the Grenadier isn't for you. But for sheer load carrying 3850 kgs would be perfect. I drive a 79 with a GVM of 4.2 and its stupidity over loaded and you wouldn't go over anything other than a gravel rd let alone sand or mud.
3850 is already available with just a spring shock upgrade.
Yes it should. The thing is it doesn't change the GCM so there is a caveat on any GVM upgrade. You still can't (legally tow more than 3.5t which is why most do an upgrade.
I agree, 4.2t is too much for a vehicle this size. 3850kg to 3900kg would be a good GVM for a Quartermaster not excessively heavy to be too sketchy off road and still low enough to keep the maintenance costs in control. Most people do not factor in the extra maintenance when constantly running at increased gvm, particularly the front wheel bearing lubricants, transmission and t/case oils that will require more servicing. 3900kg would be the limit I would go on a Grenadier like a LC79 anything after that I would seriously be considering a small 4x4 truck with larger diffs, axles and transfer case.
Your workshop?
Unfortunately not mine either, this is the agents workshop
Doesn't INEOS own the vehicle. I thought it was a long term loaner - which I find appalling to be honest. Most of these influencers do more damage to the product than benefit it!
I think it is the first long term loan in Australia and we also don't seem to have the same issues that early adopters in UK and europe have.
I was thinking the same thing
It is a Ineos owned vehicle on a 6 month loan.
I'm driving one at the moment, Justin Hocevar said to do whatever you want with it as in klms and usage.
I get mine installed on Thursday - at XHQ. Two 30 litre diesel tanks on the Molle panels.
Towing weight might actually reduce load on front axle.
