Americas Farewell to a Near Perfect Vehicle.

[Deleted member 9047666 (user closed account)]

All - Sold the Grenadier today. I didn't want to do a silent fade and simply disappear and I hope I leave on a positive note with everyone.

Like most of us, I was a long-time fan and waited a long time for the arrival. Absent my complaining about ADAS, which I hope they fix, it was a great vehicle to own. I think Ineos nailed the Grenadier launch way better than Tesla ever did for a new manufacturer / new vehicle launch.

Looks, style, drivability, capability, BEST HEATED SEATS EVER, the list goes on, and on, and on.

It just wasn't for me. Why? I've had a long list of FJs, Land Cruisers, Scouts, Broncos, and Defenders. I like to fix stuff, add stuff, and modify stuff. And I was too early!

The Grenadier is near perfect so I just kept looking at look at it. That's a high compliment and hopefully taken as so.

I hope I leave everyone on the positive note that I intended to. I appreciate all of the dialog, discussion, and support along the way.

Now I'm doing the silent fade.

Offroad, From Nashville!

Well that was a quick run! Feel free to hang around if you decide to not fade away!

Don't be a stranger. You will always be the "one from Nashville" to us.

He will be "guy who launched a 1000 article because of ADAS.

Yeo. That's exactly what I'm referring to.

Can you share some summary information on your sale? Did you get more or less than you paid for it?

Net, net, I didn't make anything or lose anything but I waited for the right buyer. I was lucky because I had a mainstream color and mainstream options, EXCEPT the trailer hitch. Everybody, even people who have never towed anything, wants the trailer hitch. I followed the sales on BaT. The last two sold about where I thought they would. The light blue color needs the deviating white roof and they all need the safari roof (The SW that sold yesterday didn't have it). My opinion of course but there are some defining features and that's one of the main ones—that, and apparently the trailer hitch.

Offroad it’s been fun, see you on the trail buddy.

More importantly - will it have ADAS?

Good luck Mate! Hope your next project brings you contentment

As an observation:
What a wonderful example this thread is, of the courteous maturity of this forum compared to the "book of faces". I commented to the Service Manager of my local dealership last week that this forum was far and away a much better avenue for global information than the often troll-laden alternative which he'd expressed some concerns about....

Fully agree DenisM! Thanks to DaBull, Krabby, YellowLab, and other folks for moderating this forum!!!

Hi Offroad
Very best of luck going forward. I wish you well. Because you have opted out now, it doesn’t mean, circumstances will never change.
