Thank you.
This is great news.
I wonder how many of these vehicles they actually have.
Hopefully at least 1 for a test drive soon.
Great news.
Thx

If they are like the newly opened Maryland dealer, the "loading" delivery was ~40 vehicles

Got a transmission fault on mine on Friday. It’s in limp mode , 5 mph max. Getting it towed to this dealer next week. Hopefully this will be a good experience.

Sorry to hear this. Just happened out of the blue, or was it related to something you did?

They have been really great to me so far. My rig has been built and is awaiting its journey across the pond. They have already reached out twice in the last month to check in with me and give me status updates on my order.

I was feeling pretty salty about the Kuhn dealer situation and the fact they never followed up or reached out to let me know what was going on when they went under (nor did Ineos for that matter...)

The management of this new dealer seems top notch so far. Excited to take delivery hopefully in the near future!

I bought one of my other cars from price. Decent experience. Service is pretty pricey though, but I think that is bay area.

Bay Area, yes, and the parts are from outer space galactic empire pricing pricing.
It will be very interesting t see if the parts cost and service cost of ownership comes down any.
In my case it may end up new Land Cruiser based on these sorts of issues.

9700 miles on the Grenadier, towed to this dealer this morning for first service, transmission leak and malfunction. Fingers crossed. Dealer is 130 miles from home.

Convincing me of the criticality of the dealer location and infant mortality occurrences.
That's really not going to work well deep into mountain ranges.
I really do not want to be saying: Oy vey, I coulda had a Land Cruiser.

FYI dealer telling me that 1st service, the following should be performed: Oil change, tire rotation, front and rear differential service, HVAC filter, replace all wiper blades. Quoted $902.35. Mine also has a transfer case seal leak which will be covered under warranty.

Seems fairly inline (presuming notably higher labor rates in CA than the East coast), feel free to add it to this thread - https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/grenadier-servicing-price-usa.12416460/

I just had all the same done to mine (minus the transmission leak - which I thought I had, but turns out it was just residual oil dripping down from the previous oil change I had done at 6000 miles). All is well now. Fingers crossed they'll have yours fixed-up and good to go again soon.

Did you have this done at 12,000 miles? Are the differentials spec'd for servive at 12,000 miles? Should and must mean different things to me (said the guy that changed his oil at 800 miles after break in and will do it again at 2,500 miles).
