The petrol Grenadier gearbox can only handle 550NM

If they can fit a different engine, they can fit a different transmission. I'm not sure why this matters to the discussion.
Well Sonny Boy, you might be able to save some dinero.
That's the genius of the current ZF 8HP transmission: its modular design provides a range of ZF 'off-the-shelf' components which can be swapped over to increase/decrease the power/torque ratings dependent on the design requirements...
yea, yea, naw, yea naw ..... naw... not really.
That is they mystery as to why they used the weaker unit to begin with. If the goal is overbuilt, and the weight and budget are already porky, and mpg isn't gonna win any CAFE friends either way, I wonder how much they really saved. Would they have had to make changes to the output side of the engine? There must have been something besides the cost delta of the transmission.
Generally if you want to go fast get a V8 (or V10 or V-12) but if you want to haul heavy items or are pulling a trailer get a Diesel. I will stand by my original statement: "I would rather have a Cummins straight six diesel than any POS General Motors engine" as it fits my situation better than a need for speed does. You may want to go really fast but, that does not seem to be a good fit for the Ineos Grenadier. I will take low speed and high torque any day over unneeded speed. But hey, if you want a V8 go for an engine and transmission swap. Please post pictures if you do it and tell us about performance too.
Physics don’t care about yo’ opinions.
Anybody talking, and listening, to Physics about opinions, and wants, has got some serious mental issues.....
