Ineos Grenadier

[Lancs Lad]

I haven't got the pockets that you have @Lancs Lad , but I'd have one tomorrow if I did. Proper work truck.

I don't yet but I'm watching the prices steadily become a bit more realistic.

Have they sorted out the awkward driving position (transmission tunnel getting in the way of your left foot)?

My local landrover specialist has just taken on the servicing and warranty work for Ineos.
Given that the “local” dealer in Portsmouth binned it off, this could be good news for my potential next work truck.
I think they are compromised but certainly well built where it matters, and I’ll just have to get my landrover head on to modify the rest of it to suit

I've a theory on this...
Our local high end car dealer (Porsche/BMW etc) took it on at first and then binned it off last year. And now it's gone to a smaller independent...I reckon they all though it would be a big seller to the Chelsea truck brigade and it hasn't ... I am seeing a few more in working garb towing etc

I also saw them going through auction brand new for 35k…. Literally lost half their value and hadn’t even had the stickers peeled of them!

 

[Giles]

the fronts on them are just so ugly though, need to work on that. saw one this morning and its really badly styled

 

[DaveDCB]

And I’m no greenpeace activist, but the fuel consumption is hideous!

Agreed . That bumper needs re work

Can't be any worse than a V6 rok on ATS

There’s a few locally that I see regularly. They don’t do anything for me tbh, prefer my d4!

They kind of remind me more of a humvee than a defender. I always think they look a little to wide.
Obviously this is done so you can drive them without your arm out the window.
I've only ever been passenger in one and obviously a vast improvement over an old defender. But they are proper land cruiser money and I think the land cruiser just edges it. Just a shame they have stopped making the v8
