    Custom receiver hitch cover plate

    Had some spare time so I fabricated a cover plate for the receiver hitch as I always felt it looked a little unfinished when not in use. Working on a version with a red lambda and will post pictures when I have it finished. Just a fun little project for the Grenny. Finished version 2.0 with...

    Americas Receiver hitch

    I need to install a receiver hitch on my SUV. It appears to have a strong threaded base to install one on. Is this something I can order from INEOS?

    Swing away tow hitch carrier?

    Anyone use a tow hitch carrier? I'm thinking about getting one.. I'm thinking I'll put bicycles or possibly a rack for carrying some gear outside the car. I've been looking at this one. Anyone knows what works and if this one works well on the Grenadier? KUAT Pivot V2 Swing Away Bike Rack...

    Hitch bolt size

    Quick question that search didn't answer. The bottom two holes on the flange of the hitch are threaded and in some markets that is where the ball is attached. I'm planning to use those two bottom holes as the attachment point for a step. Can anyone confirm the bolt size and thread pitch? I...

    Hitch Receiver winch - thoughts?

    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...

    Hitch Depth of insertion

    Hey everyone, did a search but couldn't find anything. Getting my hitch installed next week but need to figure out a swing away for a hitch mounted bike rack. Does anyone have the insertion depth of the stock hitch. Looks to be a pretty shallow hitch and I believe that it is capped on the...

    Hitch insert

    I tried to tow with my Grenadier today. The hitch insert ( ball mount) would go in partway and then stuck. Rubber hammer only got it more tightly stuck. We had to pull it out with a come along. That can’t be right. The inserts fit in my other trucks. Is this a known problem?

    Americas What's normal protocol when having the factory ordered hitch installed at non-selling dealer?

    So I ordered my Grenadier with a hitch receiver. And as everybody is aware Ineos left them off the first delivered vehicles due to some software issue. I was also supposed to be dealing Kuhn Automotive in the Bay Area, and at that the last minute something changed and they moved my order to...

    US Trailer hitch problems

    I'm just wondering if I'm the only one who finds this universal hitch to be a problem. I understand it is one piece of hardware used differently around the world, but that isn't really ideal. The first problem I have is this huge flange. It is difficult to get a hitch pin in there, and a locking...

    Tow hitch ball mount anti-rattle contraption?

    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...

    Previously Recalled Tow Package Installed - Failed 7-Pin test

    My Grenadier was one of the vehicles affected by the tow hitch install, I took delivery without the tow package few months ago. A few days ago I had the tow package installed at the closest dealer and assumed everything is good. Well, it looks like it is not. I tested the 7-pin connecter with a...

    Trailer hitch wireing

    Anyone figure out how to hook up the wireing for the tow hitch if it was not an installed option. I saw the wires and a plug in the right rear quarter panel so it just has to be figuring out the right ones. I am also thinking about just making a small battery box with switches and hook the...

    Tow hitch steel cable is rusty

    In my car, the steel cable that secures the trailer hitch bolt is rusty. My trailer hitch is a combination of a ball hitch and a claw hitch with a push through bolt. This bolt is secured against theft with a steel cable. The steel cable is covered by a transparent silicone tube (I suspect it is...

    Standard Australian hitch spigot diameter

    I have learned that the hole for the spigot in my tow hitch is 1 inch diameter rather than 7/8 inch. Not a major issue but it means sourcing a USA 1 inch spigot version of the DO35 hitch that I will be fitting. The caravan supplier says they aren’t authorised to do this however I can buy one as...

    Front Receiver Hitch Install

    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...

    Tongue Weight USA book vs hitch labels.

    In the handbook it is listed as 771 lbs (350KG) but there is a label on the underside of the hitch plate that states ~600 (273KG). Given the GVW and GTW are both 3500 KG (7716 lbs), using the rule of thumb of 10-15% you'd expect the TW to be at least the value in the book. For clarity this is...

    Non-OEM Tow Adaptor / Mount / Bar

    I unfortunately didn't order the tow hitch as a factor mount and need the female portion of one for my bike rack. Is anyone else in a similar situation? I'm planning to manufacture a hitch and would be happy to make a couple, if there is interest.

    Tow hitch bottom lip

    After getting my hitch installed, I noticed there is a big lip underneath that may get caught on ledge/rocks on departures. Not sure that is a valid concern yet. But here is a possible mitigation. Has anyone installed one of these on their Gren? I have no idea if this will clear the lip as...

    2” hitch receiver installation

    I just picked up my Grenadier this week. I did not order the towing package - I’m not looking to tow, but I do need to get a standard receiver installed for a 2” Thule 2-bike rack (it releases and pivots down and out of the way, and I HOPE will clear the spare wheel when in the up position)...

    Front Mounted Tow Hitch/Winch options in UK?

    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?

    Americas Picture of ‘removed’ trailer hitch ….

    Can someone post a picture of the trailer hitch that was removed before deliver? Specifically, I’m trying to figure out if the entire hitch was removed or just the part that holds the receiver. Thank you.

    Tow Hitch Dimensions

    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...

    No hitch mystery and can wiring be added

    @FlyingTexan @Lord Ripon USA Strange but I'm pretty certain I checked the "hitch" option but when it arrived at the dealer there was no hitch. All our trucks have hitches, what I thought was my order summary has the hitch checked off. Dealer says it can be added for $1000 (800 parts and 200...

    Dropper hitch solution

    The Grenadier easily accepts the standard Old Defender dropper hitch available through Amazon and others @ £60.00. I have anchored the hitch onto the Grenadier using six HT bolts, utilising the four bolt holes for the winch-mount. No modification needed. Spacers extend the hitch so it protrudes...

    Has anyone added a towing hitch after?

    I'm bit unsure why but my order doesn't have the towing hitch. I'm pretty shocked by that I must have accidentally not selected it when running other options. Anyone do the same and add one after the fact? I guess so long as the framing is there it's not that hard. Just wire a harness into the...

    Nato hitch and rear number plate

    Hi I wish to attach the same setup as this picture to my Grenadier. I have this setup on two old defenders I already own. The problem is that for the Nato hitch to be at the correct height for the military trailer I own the Dixon Bate bracket needs to be mounted up high and as a result...

    North America class III tow hitch receiver

    I noticed in a picture that one of the North American production vehicles landed at port of Georgia had a UK-style hitch receiver. I have not seen any late model us-spec vehicles with a 2” receiver that also has a face plate for bolt-on applications here in the states. I guess this is a plus...

    Tow Hitch and Electronics Install

    Can your dealer add the Tow Hitch and electronics later on if it was not ordered with one ? I Have a Vin, dealer sent me the spec sheet, but the Tow Hitch is not on the dealer spec that they sent me. It is on my ordered spec sheet online from Ineos's website. Thanks in advance for the help!
