Thread: Ineos Grenadier, do you reckon it'll take off?

Be interested in how it goes Deefa.
Plus all the little niggles that come with a brand new chariot.
I'm sure all the other good folk on AULRO would like to know as well.

I saw my first one on the road today. I like them.

Got an email update on some Grenadier merchandise. One is a white tee shirt, so they must not be expecting much tinkering with the vehicle by owners

Er it's not a Land Rover where customers do the product development.
Proven engines and transmissions, not new fangled 4s canned after a year because of oil dilution. etc etc.
It will be interesting to see where it rates when it makes a JD Power survey, and I will bet that it comes above Land Rover which is not hard as Land Rover is usually on the bottom of the list.

Not surprisingly, there are a few teething problems which "we" are assured will be sorted in the next S/W update due later this month. Some have had problems with the early production transfer cases built by Tremec (one was an oil gallery drilled at slightly incorrect angle). It's been "educative" to read on The Grenadier Forum the early experiences of UK/German/Belgian/Italian etc customers ... predominantly software glitches / spurious error messages but with no catastrophes... overwhelming endorsement from early owners, a number of whom also currently own a New Defender and/or are (very) long term experienced Defender/Discovery owners.
Expecting mine late next week!

More on the "Quartermaster" pick up.

The new Inneos Quartermaster Ute has been revealed today.

it sits on a 130 wheelbase and is 5 seater with a tub. It looks very similar to a lowered LandRover 130. As such it has a more purposeful stance than most contemporary dual cab utes.

So I wondered how it matched up to the real deal? I went looking for the payload specs, but couldn’t find them in the mass distribution publicity.

Turns out the Grennedier 130 is rated to a tub payload of 760kg, just half that of my Land Rover 130, and significantly less than a Toyota 70 series. I’m really not sure whether such a limited load will attract serious commercial, military or expedition use of the Quartermaster. Does the Quartermaster capture the spirit of the original LandRover 130 but without the performance and practicality?

What do others think?
