I just picked up my Trialmaster last week in Dallas and am very excited. I did t not have the factory winch installed for a number of reasons but I also missed the option to install the front receiver hitch. So a coue questions: Has anyone installed the front receiver after delivery? Any idea...

I've had several vehicles with winches mounted in the past (front and rear in some cases), but not got one on the IG. I know I could buy a winch bumper, but I don't really see the need to carry all that extra weight around all the time. What are your thoughts on receiver hitch winch mounting...

What options are available in the UK for a removable front mounted tow hitch and removeable front mounted winch? I've seen some aftermarket options online but wondered if any are suitable for use in the UK given different regulations?

Anyone know of an anti-rattle contraption that will fit our Grenadier tow hitch receiver assembly? The wide plate at the front of the receiver assembly blocks conventional devices from fitting and preventing clunking sounds caused by loose-fitting ball mounts, bike racks, skid plates, etc...

Not so much a joke as a WTF are they selling on Amazon… While searching for hitch covers, i found this and thought this would be the perfect accessory for my Grenadier’s front hitch 😂 https://www.amazon.com/dp/B0C7VJ6TMN?tag=globalgrena0b-20

Get the fluorescent green one. I dare you 😁

I have a winch sitting forlornly in its original packing for the past several years and I thought "at last!!" I'll get a cradle and mount it in the front and/ or rear tow hitch for "special occasions". The front tow plate option is out of the question on advice from Ineos. So I asked myself...

I've noted that some people have had issues with other tow hitch tongues not fitting the Grenadier receiver. I have a collection of tongues and was rather surprised that only 3 of the 4 fitted the rear receiver while all fitted the front one. One tongue (hayman reece) was able to partially slide...

https://www.theineosforum.com/threads/front-receiver-hitch-install.12415183/#post-1333268355 There’s my thread on what I did

Several people have asked about how the loaner Grenadier handled the weight of our Airstream when I hitched it. I took this video and I’ve finally uploaded it to YouTube to show just how good everything looked. The hitch is a ProPride pivot point projection hitch. It is the golden standard of...

I am thinking of ordering the Red winch rear trailer hitch winch from the UK. Red winches are the Ineos factory integrated winch you would get from the dealer. Long story short, I don’t order the integrated winch, have a great from light bar set up and don’t want to muck with my front bumper...

The front hitch is also specifically not to be used for towing at any speed

Today i finished installing the GP Factor hidden winch. Note that my truck had the optimal front mounted tow hitch. A bit different than what others have but it worked like a charm. I couldn't install the two trim rings that the kit came with but I think it looks pretty finished as is. Works...

Thank you for your replies. I can't measure the height at the moment on my tow hitch as I don't have the car but on the Fieldmaster the top of the ball hitch is 20.5 inches from the ground. I measured the tow hitch heights on the Landcruisers as they were available and they are 20 inches - so...

Thanks, that's interesting. So there's no wiring to the front if you don't pick the winch option (obviously) or the tow hitch? I could select the tow hitch just to get the wiring and install my own winch at a later date? The winch just isn't really needed for me - worst case I have a 5T steel...

Scratch that. Its at the rear of the FRONT drive shaft and its not the trailer hitch wiring.

@Bayford there is a big thread somewhere on this forum about different front spring ratings, certainly if you have the front winch fitted you do have different springs to non winch vehicles.

That is really a lot to think about. I think you are correct, but my big issue is the cost to fit a new front bumper mid section and a winch and redo my front spot lights Just just sure what to do that is cost effective.

Yes it is. Front is accessed under font right wheel well rear has a nato plug next to hitch receiver.

...lacking was the saddle leather. Looking at inventory across the country, I am baffled by a vehicle built with a winch and no lockers; a front hitch, but not a rear. It seems like the probability of locating your exact build on this date is minimal, but if you can get close and get certainty...

Thanks. been compiling the must have have, like to have list. Need factory to install lockers, hitch-NATO, hi capacity outlets, safari windows, leather with heat. would love the red frame but makes it a unicorn. Figured most other stuff I can add later including a winch, ladder, battery set...

Agree with NoMoTaco above as it rare to find available inventory with desired options including: Tow Hitch package, Front/Rear Diffs, winch, wheel preference, etc.

Thank you. Huge disappointment as they sold me the whole sales pitch built for thet purpose with the hitch and front, prewired yada yada, well time to start a custom trailer build, o well lol!

That’s interesting. I have the high amp aux wiring but standard 2 green dots front springs.

When ordering my vehicle, I optioned the receiver for a front tow hitch which hides behind the front licence plate. This was with a view to occasionally mounting a cradle winch. However Ineos later advised that the fitting was not strong enough to accommodate the cradle winch. I can however use...

By the way @vtgrenadier , saw to IGs in Woodstock VT last weekend. Was that you. Apologies if I was lunatic taking a bunch of pictures of your truck.

The front plate mount appears to be the flip-up one they use for those with factory winch or front tow hitch. Having seen several at Knauz last week

Thanks so much Paddy. Interesting that my car came with the front tow hitch but its not on the b pillar sticker. There was speculation by my agent last year that it may have been fitted after production in the batch and hold process as it was held up for a while and this was the only difference...

I had to go out of town for a week and when I returned, my Tougher Seat Covers had arrived. The installation of the first front seat was a bit of a struggle, but the second front seat went pretty easy after I had learned a few things. Back seat covers went in without a hitch. Overall, I am...

It’s the plate holder that mounts to the flip up part I need. The flip up part is an IA supplied item if you option it you get a free winch ;) ha.

100% picking this up with enough precision to put in a 2” receiver is a 2 person job. I do understand the limit is 7700 pounds on the hitch. I feel safe with an 8000 pound winch and I do realize an 8000 lb winch is also not going to pull you out of 2 feet of muck or over giant boulders. This...

To be honest I'm not entirely sure. My car has a tow hitch mount installed from factory up front behind the license plate and the dealer told me that it had a slightly stiffer suspension because of that. They told me that trucks that came with the winch option from factory has the same...

The hi-load aux switches should have the wiring as well.

There is no wiring harness for the front hitch. It is bolted in to the center section of the frame/bumper the same way the factory winch is. If you have a Trialmaster or the heavy duty wiring from the factory, there is wiring to the front right fender that ends at an Anderson switch (similar...

I chose the front tow hitch because I didn't want the winch now but choosing the front tow hitch puts all the wiring and flip up number plate in place. View: https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m-HwP35Nfkw

I am of the understanding that the factory optioned rear winch (in a cradle to insert into the tow hitch) was/is able to be used for recovery. The front option "tow plate" was 'red flagged' early on by Ineos as unsuitable for occasional use with a cradle winch for vehicle recovery... (which had...

Good morning All, The tyre rotation wasn't done on mine when it was serviced at Ineos Jardine's Sevenoaks, mind you they also haven't entered it into the INEOS database either. My grenadier is off to Jardine's Colchester for a number if issues to be sorted out, Hands free mike dreadful, tow...

Question on the springs, are they automatically upgraded to HD if you choose the tow hitch? Maybe I missed this somewhere but couldn't find it. Cheers!

You are not allowed to use the removable winch in the front

Rolling load is not the same as vehicle weight. The WWL of the hitch is 7700 pounds, not the failure point. The winch only has 8000lb rating on the first wrap, not 3-4 which you'll likely spend most of your time on. Unless the truck is a POS, you'll be fine for direct pulls, but I'd be...

I may have over optioned the base model as my truck was a fairly early order and was supposed to be here November/December last year. I wanted all the off road stuff but not the snorkel. Now it's mid-May. Can't find it on any ships. Dealer says it was built and is somewhere between Belgium and...

If you have the front hitch plate, then yes

I was also told the front hitch is only rated for low speed driving and positioning, which makes sense. I guess positioning you would be driving forward and low speed driving you would be in reverse over a short distance only. Rear hitch is designed to handle 3,550 kgs at 160 kmh on and off...

Not sure if it is still the case but originally all Australian Grenadiers have the tow hitch as a standard feature. I added one to the front of mine as well. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rLlLfAcESmM&list=PL9P0owh5Er8LGIR_lqsIv3L8xDGanKFF-&index=4 View...

Thanks! I have a Trialmaster with the heavy duty wiring from the factory. Are you saying that the 500 amp switch also has a pre-wire to this location?

Your build is identical to mine and payload stickers are the same.

DaveB was told that the front hitch does get your springs uprated. I think he ordered it for that reason. ineos have stated both ways that the front hitch is, and is not suitable for a winch. Theres clarity needed on that point, and force limits.

Hi Garry, I live in Worcestershire, would be cool to meet up at some point! My dealer is Heritage in Gloucestershire (approx 1hr's drive for me). Their servicing pricing seems pretty good.

I visited Knauz Ineos yesterday (closed on Sundays) to seek out my Shale Blue that they shared had arrived. Unable to locate mine on their website nor in person and now awaiting confirmation (hopefully it inside somewhere?). I biasedly took a few photos of only the Shale Blue ones so let me know...

OP IIRC, I read that the addition of the winch also includes different springs up front. I’m not sure how it works with the hitch. I chose the front/rear hitch receiver options. I figure I can mount a detachable winch when I travel or go off-road, and remove it for daily driving. TBH, I don’t...

Looks pretty bad - far too low. It's always weird on EU cars because the proportion of our respective rectangular plates is so different. But if that's where the holes are I'll probably relocate mine. I also need to consider the front as it's NJ law to have a front-mounted plate too.

Curious, if one gets the front hitch/winch connection, does it come also come with different springs? My thought was if I got this option along with the rear hitch mount, I could swap a winch from front to rear to add flexibility. Dumb idea?

Ineos notes that the front hitch plate is fully usable for the removable winch

By all accounts the front hitch is not suitable for use with the removeable winch, or very probably any hitch mounted winch if it's for self recovery purposes.

Good morning all. I have a small project and a larger project to highlight. But first, I would like to thank all the forum members who post their projects, provide pictures, share their processes, and perhaps even a mistake or two. I reached out to a few with questions about their builds and...

Hi I haven't weighed mine but with the major accessories I have and with me in it just over 3,000 kgs would seem about it. I ruled out the factory rack as being too heavy, high and ugly. Mine is the Fieldmaster but with all the Trialmaster add ons. Diff locks, extra battery, front tow hitch...

Thanks for the instructive comments.. one thing I didn't quite understand was "..to attach to the carrier plate and let it float too" I can't quite visualise what you mean by that...can you describe further? I optioned the front tow hitch (and I have an Aldi winch (34Kg) with a wireless remote...

@bakepl DIY'd a manual 2nd rear camera switch and generously provided a write-up here. In Australia I have these guys on my call list to see if they can work with the cable plugs that Wolfbox use to be able to adapt one of their 2 or 4 way camera switches. It would be nice to see @WolfBox step...

The removable rear winch is restricted to the load rating on the tow hitch and they rate it at 3,500 kg. It weighs 42 kg so that would need to be taken into account, (Australian rating is 3550 kg) They list it as a "self recovery" winch but it would seem to me that as the vehicle weighs near...

That's awesome @Paddy thanks so much. USS was a typo on my part it should have been UAA Park Assist Front. The only outstanding code on my sticke rnow is ISI. Any Ideas? Also I have the front tow hitch but it does not appear to have its own code. Finally I had a giggle over GSOH. Having that...

Cost of mounting plate for the front is $945 which is not intended for full winch “work out” Tow hitch and electrics is $800. Thank you fellows! I’m finding funds for my safari windows!

Agreed. I had the plastic clip replaced last month, checked it today and it broke off again. Too much tension in that cable, use a cable tie for temporary fix but we need a permanent fix from Ineos.

When I ordered the front hitch I was expressly told by Ineos in person that the removable winch could not be used on the front. They said the front hitch was designed for low speed towing only (logical) and not for winching or on road use

Do any of you already use a bar coupling? I have fitted the Variobloc from Rockinger and would also like to buy this type of coupling to tow agricultural trailers.

Hi Rovie, nice setup! The rockinger vario I have seen use 4 x M10 screws. We have M12 on the Grenadier. Did LeTech change something or is the Vario available for M12? Michael

Thank you for your sincere advice! Note has been taken. We'll keep improving! 🍻

I believe that is the PSI when fully loaded. I am currently running 36 psi.

Now that you mention it, I vaguely remember something about that... A quick look at the MY24 configurator for the RoW shows that the front hitch plate is no longer offered

I would stay at 40 and increase them as your load increases. There's a chart in the manual - see post #94.

I have the same issue except it is with the driver's door only. When I take it back for the tow hitch reinstall, I am going to ask them to realign the door. All my other doors close easily and securely.

Still available in Australia

You sound like you know what you are doing. I ran air bags in my 3/4 ton so truck and trailer were within 1/2" level accross both. Just remember that load leveling with air bags does not equal weight distribution. You still need to re-load the front axle with weight distribution to avoid...

Half the fun has been configuring your vehicle online, changing your mind 10 times, saving multiple configurations and then finally hitting the order button. Having to settle for what is available at the dealer is a bit of a let down to me.

Yesterday morning I found my front number plate on the ground, as you can see from the photo it was only attached with poor quality double sided tape on a limited surface area. Also some of the tape was overlapped further reducing the contact area. After cleaning the existing tape from the...

We don't have any Inky Black cancellations at the moment, but we do have a Donny Grey trialmaster that is similar to what you're looking for. If this is something you'd be interested in, let me know!

...it into context how straight forward it is. Also he brought up a good point: This kit was NOT factoring in vehicles that may have that front hitch receiver. We know that is not a very common factory accessory. The good thing is, the kit 100% still works and fits great, you will just not use...

I ordered a Trial Master with everything except the winch - opted for the front hitch so I could add a removable one later if I want or wait for the aftermarket to make an internal one for the front.

Exciting times. How about the Saddle leather? One of my favourite options decided upon at the last minute.

I wish no drilling was necessary, but yes. I made a small mistake too, but was able to find a solution. I posted the install in "What did you do with your grenadier today, see link below. The license plate "plate" came with the IG from the dealership. I opted for the front tow hitch when I order...

I wonder similarly. We RV and my Sprinter chassis can't tow more than 5,000 lbs so the Gren is out for me anyways. But a Super C or Class A easily tows vehicles bigger and heavier than a Gren. And I wonder if that's an option. IMO, the limitation must be one of two things: 1. There's a...

I picked up my 2nd Gren yesterday. This one has gaskets that are non adherent in spots also. I don't know if boot wash affect occurs, will water test this weekend. I inspected the 3 showroom cars and the 3 waiting to be delivered and all of them had same issue with the gaskets. I met and...

First I haven't towed with it yet I was just testing how it would look, I found with 350Kg down force from the caravan the rear springs dropped 50mm and the front springs only went up 10mm. The setup instructions say to adjust the hitch to half the lift at the front springs (5mm) it doesn't...

After an good wash and rainstorm, the 2nd gren does not have the boot wash problem.

Is that standard, or is it Grenadier OEM parts order

I believe IA warned against using the front tow hitch for winch applications--someone posted about it several weeks ago. I'll try to find it.

Be aware that the Brink branded 2 inch tow hitch we get in Australia has a 25mm (1") diameter pin on the ball. Standard for Aus is 22mm. If you plan on replacing the supplied ball with something like a D035 pin then make sure you get a 1 inch pin. Cruisemaster sell them as an accessory. Another...

There is no *front* removable winch, indeed there is no removable winch; it's a *rear* removable winch. It comes with a NATO plug. If someone tells you it can be fitted to the front hitch receiver, ask them where the power socket is? Further, reading the current version of the winch manual:

I've consolidated the listed codes. If you add something, I suggest to copy the list to a new posting and to insert yours in the correct order and the same format. To insert a code, you have to be in edit mode (of course). - Just place the cursor in front of the right position and press enter...
