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

[grenadierboy]

For me, the Grenadier is good the way it is. I have ordered everything I need. I don't want all the bells and whistles that you have listed. The car has to stay as simple as possible. That's the design principle. Delete this thread.

I disagree.

You can take it to the bank that Series two will have changes because IA probably rushed some aspects of the final design and finish & they will receive driver experience & market feedback.

Moreover, what is the problem with adding some more options to the base vehicle that some might think adds value to their driving experience and/or requirements based on how they use the Grenadier.

No one is forced to choose the extra options.

Brown leather seats to match the steering wheel, darker interior (I am sure there is a specific name for the ceiling of a car, in German it would be „sky“)

I would have ordered a saddle leather interior at the first spot. Even if it would have cost me half a fortune more!

For me, improving the interior plastic would be a massive improvement (on the basis the PTO’s are no different). They are very hard and not very tactile. I think they will scratch very easily. If they had a bit more give to them they would last better. The 200 Series landcruiser plastics were a big let down after the 100 Series.

And get the fit and finish right as per the other topic on that issue.

I think the inverter and the gullwing side panels illustrate your point.

I guess it's just the opportunity cost of what they prioritise vs what gets dropped further down the list.

Here’s mine:
1. Longer range fuel tank or optional additional tank
2. Optional inverter (which I thought was going to be an option this time but wasn’t)
3. 33” tyre option (so I don’t need to junk the factory wheels and tyres next time)
4. Improved design of the Euro winch cover/number plate holder that doesn’t require a screwdriver to remove.
5. Optional additional bash plates (transmission, fuel, f/r diffs)
6. Optional upgraded sound system

Who can remember trafficators?

remember them in the Morris Minors

Would be nice I agree. I'm hoping a set of 33's BFG KM3's or other m/t will fit on the standard 17" steel wheels and I can pick up another set from Ineos before 2030.
You think 33's won't fit on the standard 17"x7.5" steelies?

I think you are right, they will fit

Russian oligarch Edition!!!

 

[alvan]

A small feature... since navigation is up to our cell, an universal bracket for it close to display, wireless charging... I wouldn't place an awful sucker bracket in my Gren...

Flat and drilled underengine plate made of thick inox steel...

Almost. It's missing the armouring.

. Steering Wheel: paddle shift.

Paddle shifter?? Are you joking? No way. Those are useless.
I'd like to see a few basics addressed: an on-board fully functioning and updating GPS system available on the existing touch screen. Phone based GPS is not as reliable as my SUV based GPS - it just isn't. Must do: reposition the rotary dial for the touch screen. Locating it directly next to the place you put your coffee is cheeky hopeful. I get it: it was a desperate last ditch place to put it. It should go someplace away from coffee cups. It's a glaring problem and just about anywhere else would be appreciated. (I nixed a fancy SUV I was looking at after seeing such a dial - good luck to those drivers - I bought a LR).

useless to you - bloody brilliant for me

I have a thermo mug made of inox which has a cover with a small lid which you can close or open when you want to drink.

Off road proof, I dare say.

Frontrunner:

I have rarely ever used the paddle shifters on my current or previous vehicles
The rotary dial on my current vehicle (MB) is in almost exactly the same place as the grenadier and I use it constantly.
Never had a problem or spilt coffee on it.
I only use closed and sealed containers in the car so they won't spill

Which we can attach with the mighty utility belt!

Did I mention the need for a 1 tonne payload so the Grenadier meets dual purpose rules like the old 110 so the BIK is only £3,000 and not £18,000?

You know that armor does not equal armament?

I thought of Kevlar plates for the side protection. But of course a laser gun can be fixed to the mighty utility belt as well!
