tow

Hi, This subject has been fairly thrashed to date but couldn't locate a definitive answer on a couple of points so here goes. I'm looking at options to drop the height of the towball/ jaw and pin when required. There is the Dixon Bale Adjustable plate (340mm overall) that can be mounted. But...

Hello brains trust. I am new to the space but am very happy to have found so many people here, willing to discuss the ins and outs of this unique vehicle. My situation is this. We have recently purchased a Grenadier with the intention to use it as a tow vehicle for the boat and eventually, a...

Couldn't find the thread on towing from way back, but wanted to share my experience. Picked up a used Ranger 621 in Tri Cities Wa. Towed her back to PDX/Vancouver at 65MPH. Was shocked how well Kunte1 did pulling a 5800GVW tandom axle trailer. Now to find hungry fish :) MPG Was still...

Sorry if there is already a thread on this, my search skills didn't find one. I'm wondering if anyone who tows frequently with their IG has a recommendation for a towing mirror? In the US some states require these (or so I'm told). Something like this...

Any recommendations on installing a tow hitch with wiring harness? Where to buy? In Wisconsin 🇺🇸

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...

Has anyone been affected by a recall on the tow capacity decal? Apparently my Grenadier arrived with a tow capacity decal that states 3500lbs not 3500kg. As a result, they can't release the vehicle to me since it's an open recall. They have to wait to receive a corrected decal from Ineos. I...

Summer Auto Parts make lots of items for the Grenadear. You can check out their videos on YouTube. They just made a very robust tow hook Bracket. View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Z5siqEIrHOA

Different between trailer hitch bike rack and class III Nas tow hitch and electric. Which one should I order? All I need is tow hitch for my bike rack.

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...

Hello All, Mike and Liz from Naples FL / TN. We just received our truck yesterday and other then its beauty , not much to say yet. But I do have one question that the answers and 'sales pitch' are completly different. Can this be safely towed as a toter behind our RV. But well get to it. If...

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...

I did not get my truck delivered with the tow pack installed which is unfortunate but was able to get the received from the dealer. I would like to add a simple 7pin/4pin combo unit to the blank hole under the bumper but need help with the wiring. I was planning on using a powered or...

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...

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.

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...

Can someone provide the mounting bolt pattern on the frame where the tow receiver would normally mount? Also could use the bolt size. I'm assuming there are captive nuts. We haven't ordered the Tow Hitch and are thinking up other uses for the mounting points if we choose not to add it at some...

I will be mounting the towing receiver to my truck and would like to know the correct torque spec for the four bolts that mount it to the truck…

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?

I spoke with 2 dealers last week (The one I purchased the IG from and the 1 I am having the trailer receiver sent to for Tow Package installed). They both stated that the only place the tow package is being installed and the software update is being done is at the port. Ineos has not sent the...

I have read that people who had purchased their Grenadier with the tow package are not be charged for the package due to the delay. I did not order the Grenadier, but bought one that had been rejected. The dealership charged me for the Tow Package. Has anyone else who has bought a "rejected"...

I've seen a couple members here paint their tow hooks. Wondering if they were removed first, taped off and sprayed, or brushed with enamel paint. Considering this. Please share any experience you have. Pictures obviously too if you don't mind.

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...

Australia’s Caravan World Magazine tow test. Well worth a look. View: https://youtu.be/dTcSRFjsVT8?si=myxsmqR1ZOU4Z8tW

@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...

Can anyone provide a price for the tow plate below?

I got a call from my dealer, after they had a conference call with Ineos. There is a problem with the US trailer hitch package: evidently the brake and signal lights are not properly working in sequence with the vehicle lights. So the trailer hitch (Ball) itself will not be delivered, but the...

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...

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!

INEOS tow ball height 520mm from ground. My caravans ALKO chassis runs best at 430mm. So little information out there so I made my own decision and fitted myself. Now at 440mm.

Just a little something to blank off the receiver as I'm actually using it and don't want muck/dust/debris building up in there. For the princely sum of £5.50: https://www.ebay.co.uk/itm/134564054567?mkcid=1&mkrid=710-53481-19255-0&siteid=0&customid=link&campid=5338980679&toolid=20001&mkevt=1...

I am sure this has been posted before. I didn't order a tow bar during the ordering process, therefore yesterday I asked my agent to order one (a mistake). Unfortunately, I was told that at the moment they cannot be fitted after market (so if you want one - ensure you order it when you place...

How will the US Class III NAS Tow Hitch be attached to the frame? Is there a photgraph or drawing ? Is there an electrical connection to which an after market hitch wiring harness can be connected?

The US configurator has only one option for the tow hitch, a Class III 2" NAS Tow Hitch and Electrics for $800 (seem like a lot). Am not sure what I am getting or how it is mounted to the frame. If any one has a photograph I would apprectaie it. I will not likley be towing with my IG, but am...

Hi, out of interest has anyone who optioned a tow ball/hook had it come with a cover for the tow ball? All my previous vehicles have but the Grenadier has not is that usual?

This is the same but without the checker plate, can't remember where i got it from originally, it was for the Defender (old TD5) but never used it. https://www.amazon.co.uk/dp/B09PH3BC3M/?tag=globalgrena0b-20

The EU configurators (eg Austrian) give two tow bar options (UK has only one): 1. "Fixed" tow bar (ETC) "FESTE „ANHÄNGERKUPPLUNG UND ELEKTRIK“ Feste Anhängerkupplung mit Elektrosatz. Die feste Anhängerkupplung lässt sich über drei verschiedene Montagepositionen der vertikalen Zugvorrichtung in...

If your battery is dead and you need Neutral for a tow or a roll or whatever, sounds like a 5mm hex socket and access underneath the truck is required. With the Grenadier's clearance (compared to any other ZF vehicle), hopefully this doesn't mean jacking it up. It's such a common transmission...
