Anyone on here own a Grenadier? And if so, how do you like it?

[Pcfraher]

Hi…sorry, didn’t see a post on this but does anyone here actually own a Grenadier? And if so, how so you like it? Quality good? Engine has enough pep? Noise on the highway is ok? Any general feedback is great…we have a long wait in the states…curious if the vehicle is as good and as cool as it seems it could be. Thanks!

Hi. Welcome to the forum. In short, no. No customer deliveries have happened as yet but are expected soon as build dates are happening.

 

[Pcfraher]

Ok thank you very much…I had thought some European deliveries had been made… much appreciated

 

[Jean Mercier]

As far as I know, no European deliveries yet.

there should be actual customer deliveries before the end of the month in the UK, and I’d bet our European members will get their hands on one before we Brits.. I’m pretty sure there will be plenty of photos and reviews smartly thereafter.

At least the hope dies last…

Ha.. tomorrow never comes with Ineos customer updates…. I’m still hopeful and it’s not like the three great fibs. I love you, the cheque is in the post and the other one…..!

Hi there, yes I've had my Fieldmaster since December. Donny Grey diesel.
I am delighted with it and the build quality is as you'd expect. Actually smaller than I imagined. It's super quiet, bowls along well on hard surfaces, but not so good in the rough.
As yet I cant open the bonnet ( hood) but the doors are easy.

Whne I get the full size one in March i'll do another more in depth review....

I assume that the diesel engine is surprisingly quiet, isn’t it?

My left side mirror fell off but I superglued it back on.
No need to claim a warranty
I love the way you can do your own maintenance and repairs on the Grenadier

 

[acwiltshire]

Couldn't agree more . Best thing ever is just the ease of picking it up , and putting it on its roof to see underneath.

Can see this thread running for a while !!!!!!!!!

Well, hopefully the bonnet can be opened then.

Yeah you are right
I love the way they embossed the name and website on the underside of the vehicle.
Mine has red tow hooks also

Looks like the wheel bearings have gone already in that rear right wheel .

Don't forget Sir Jim Rat is British, and probably he gave instruction to favour the UK. JOB#1 has the steering wheel at the wrong side by the way.

But I have already two small size Grenadiers since several months too, therefore PT (Prototypes), can't open the bonnet either. But the steering wheel is at the right side!

The dark grey one is for my Grandson, who will be the youngest Grenadier owner in the thread concerning the average age of Grenadier owners.

Thanks for the trick, the red towing hook of the grey one fell off, and i made an appointment with my dealer to weld it on again, but I will cancel this rip off.

As others have said, no deliveries yet, but some of us have been able to drive on off main road courses in advanced prototypes and the general build quality looks great, some niggly plastic bits inside, but these weren’t actual production versions yet but the vehicle feels exceptionally solid and well built and no squeaks and rattling over rough terrain, I drive the diesel and it is extremely peppy accelerates quickly and no noticeable lag and going up steep hills is no effort at all. There are also now a couple of decent North American Youtube reviews from specialist offroad channels you should seek out and watch
