What do you think should be addressed in the next iteration of the Grenadier?

[emax]

Does anyone know a reason (like airbags maybe) why there is only one?

Cost cutting, I guess.

They say "use the steering wheel", which is not a good option imho..

 

[muxmax]

That's right. Most of the things we're and will be talking about have.

But they might get lost in the depths of the forum. Good to have a collection, I think.

Absolutely

 

[emax]

not sure where the rear backup camera is located, but having the option to use that or a higher-mounted one to feed an electronic rear view screen so as to see past the spare tire and the ladder

The currently used camera model can not deliver an appropriate perspective to feed a back mirror display. It's extremely wide angle and only sufficient for very near field views.

I think this has been discussed before. Does anyone know a reason (like airbags maybe) why there is only one? I guess, since there are countries where they drive on the wrong side, it should be possible to add a second afterwards. They look symmetric, so you could just mount one upside down. Might have to take the windscreen off, though.

Keyless entry and push button start. I mean the whole idea of big nobs (which I love) so you can operate them with gloves on fails to account for the fact that I will have to take off a glove to dig in my pocket for a damn key. It's a nice and simple convenience in my opinion.

A three spoke wheel. Something in between the side steps and sliders.

As mentioned, a cold weather package would be highly appreciated— heated steering wheel, heated windscreen. Where I live it’s more necessity than luxury when it’s -30C out.

Also, more storage. I know there will be aftermarket solutions (similar to what Daystar makes in the US) but I’d appreciate well thought out solutions from the factory.

The communication with the customers.

 

[Norville]

Assuming the production model is the same as the PT002 I've seen, a wider / full size door sill protector & grip strip for the (4) passenger doors.

Top of dash USB power.

RH rear interior wheel plastic molded similarly to the LH for a flattened area, assuming this is possible without decreasing rear load space area. It was a bit odd to see only the LH side that way.

12vdc outlet for the rear seat near the USB @ the center console.

 

[Beormund]

Dual zone climate control for partners with different body thermostats.

240V socket / inverter for blowing up tents and mattresses.

Improve the color choices. Many are drab and too dark for my preferences. Not a showstopper for me by any means but just an opportunity missed to make the truck more attractive; something Sir Jim oft states as important. Oh…the biggest flaw with color is in the interior leather grey/black which is stupidly white/black to my eye and others.

Agreed. My wife though my colour choices were meh! But after she looked at the samples in the dealers, she thought I'd made the best of a bad job. Me, I'm happy, but I'm colour-blind, so what do I know?

Saddle leather grab handles , bone coloured interior trim. Not grey.

I'd be happy if all the electronics weren't there. I don't need keyless go, I don't need steering wheel heating, buttocks heating or ass cooling. There are almost too many electronics in the Grenadier. But this is my peronal opinion…. It's all nice to have and I'm currently enjoying it too. But it's not really necessary. In my opinion.

I think we should ask Mr. Q. Maybe an ejection seat? But only in connection with Safari windows! Or a cannon? Maybe artificial intelligence too. A soft voice that greets you in your Greni and quietly asks you if your day was ok? And what you wish for now.....

Read your previous post @Barney - too many electronics.

110/130L fuel tank. USB/Cig points bottom of centre stack & behind top display. Smaller front pillar grab handle (70 series style) for driver to pull themselves up when jumping in - hopefully aftermarket will supply something as the mounts are there I think.

"Everything you need and nothing you don't" is what they said
I agree.

Nope, keyless entry is a security vulnerability. Search the internet for articles on keyless entry theft. My 2018 Subaru Outback (keyless start) was stolen from a ferry lot, then driven through the woods and trashed. Windows were not broken to get access Yes, you can smash a window on a key-locked vehicle, but the technology is out there on ebay, etc to get equipment that can force entry to a keyless entry system and start the vehicle.

More engine choice (larger capacity) & different HP/Torque settings
