I have not read this entire thread,
I was all for the Grenadier but lost interest when I found out how heavy they were.
Between 2600 & 2700kg , what are they thinking, they will be awesome offload - NOT. Strip all the crap out & try again.
Heavier than the new Lardarse Defender. The Iveco Daily 4x4 is only 2750kg. The Landcruiser 300 Series on only 2495kg FFS.
Hmm…. About 1/2 Ton more than a D2 for only slightly more room….

Heilmann puts its kerb weight at somewhere between 2600 and 2700kg in the development phase it finds itself in right now,

The Grenadier Wagon is expected to have a kerb weight around 2500kg, with a one-tonne payload and 3500kg maximum braked towing capacity.
And if that article has got the price about right..... If I was in the market the Grenadier would be much higher on my list than the LC300, the new Defender or any of the LC 7x things. But hey, I have an OKA which weighs twice as much, so what do I know?
Interesting that Ineos sees alternative power as the Grenadier's future.
And, according to the Ineos marketing manager last week, that "alternative power" is hydrogen, not electric.Quote:

yes what will this thing weigh when you load it up for a 2wk bush trip?
Given that a D4 has a kerb weight of 2583kg (HSE: Land Rover Discovery 4 3.0 SDV6 245HP HSE Technical Specs, Dimensions) the Grenadier will weigh about the same as a D4 loaded the same. However the Grenadier has a greater payload so I guess it could get heavier.Quote:

But it has basically no structural integrity in the cab or rollover protection, minimal sound proofing etc, so 2600 for the Grenadier as a touring weight is not unreasonable.Quote:

Toyota are going the same way with LC.
They are years ahead of the others,having had fuel cell vehicles on the road for over 12 yrs in the US.
This technology is also being explored by the maker of the new OKA vehicles as well. Currently it’s the only alternative source that makes sense for such a vehicle.Quote:
