....and what a fine looking thing it is.

...for the money , $65k , I dont think anything anywhere could come close.

...Ive booked a session with the new Grenadier cab/chassis but at half the price of the Grenadier , the Perentie looks very inviting....what say you Dave?

Too noisy, too slow, too crude.

Im bias, I have the best vehicle configuration under the sun as a daily and expedition vehicle. and Im still making it better.

Pretty certain the grenadier wont take mods as quickly and easily nor in such abundance.

Ive had a run in a grenadier, its not my speed. handles kinda like a td5 fender which I like but theres just something not there. That said, I wouldnt baulk at driving one like I do toymotas.

no I emulated that with a couple of coke cans in the cup holders with a smattering of small washers nuts and gravel, its a handling thing. I'm not saying theres anything wrong with the handling as a whole theres just something not quite how I like it and it could be something like the turn count lock to lock is different, the power steerings a little lighter or the steering wheel is slightly different in diameter but whatever it is its a subtle difference that with the limited driving Ive had of the vehicle I wasnt able to pin it down but was enough to make it feel different.
