Sounds like an expensive prison , with no beaches!
I am amazed that nearly every customer seems to have opted for the rear door mounted ladder. Am I the only one who decided to give it a miss? I very deliberately did NOT want a ladder because around here if I parked in the surf club car park with a roof ladder, guaranteed there would be kids climbing up there just because they could.
Swiss children are better educated. They get Toblerone as a reward.
You should move to Tasmania; none of that malarkey here!
Seriously. I assume they wanted a Station with locks etc. That leaves only the Belstaff option if you want space on the back seat.Swiss children are better educated. They get Toblerone as a reward.
Yes that might happen, although at least you know the roof can take it unless there is a whole crowd up there. But I am getting too old to clamber on wheels holding onto the rack with one hand while tying something down with the other hand or trying to climb up
You are not the only one. My thoughts were similar. Besides, I don't need the roof for anything other than keeping me dry and warm inside
. But we are clearly in the minority. If you ever need it later, this can be mounted quickly.
That’s where it’s supposed to be. That was the discussion as to whether they are supposed be factory fitted or dealer fitted, that one we can only assume was dealer fitted and so we will need to keep an eye on our dealers and the quality of their work.
I also didn't opt. Only as its an easy addition later and hopefully another aftermarket one comes out. With the prototype my shoes would hit the door when standing on first rung, the ladder runs straight but the door panel has that square patch that sticks out. The rung Infront of it sticks out. But the bottom doesnt and foot wedges on the underside of the square section. Didn't fancy rubbing the paint off.
Still better than an expensive battlefield.
You could mount a 'ladder-lock', something like an aluminium plate locked on the ladder.
Aside from not needing a ladder on the car, mine won't have one since almost all the other Grenadiers will. Also, one of my first jobs on the car will be to unscrew the lead-heavy spare tire. I don't need that either. And then the whole car is made once immediately nice and dirty. Then he looks even different than the grenadiers, which come towards me on the street. Also it will be green, then it will be less noticeable in the forest.
I assume if you don’t need a spare tyre you never intend to venture past the reach of the local auto clubs roadside service?Aside from not needing a ladder on the car, mine won't have one since almost all the other Grenadiers will.

I initially thought that’s a great idea. But then how do you open the door? The handle will be behind the maxtrax!
