V12 based on the Mazda inline 6?

The steering is designed this way because this truck is strictly for off-road and overtrail use. A highly responsive steering wheel, like those in sports cars or modern vehicles, would make it challenging to control in serious off-road conditions.

That’s exactly right

The steering is like that specifically for more precise control when offloading - think it stops the wheel from violently spinning in your hands if you go over certain obstacles. Infotainment system is a ground up Ineos design.

You want the fan off in wading mode because the viscosity of the water can pull the fan blades into the radiator or engine. Plus the sudden shock loading of the fan isn't good for the motor or the fan.

Enjoyed the review. Have a Trialmaster and I agree with most of your comments.😊

Steering: please let it go! 😂🎉 this thing is made to off-road the world and never break. It is supposed to climb like a goat. Turning ratio is not ideal to park at Walmart... it is a utilitarian vehicle to overland. When off-roading hard, go figure what breaks, even on the jeep. It is made for longevity. For those who don't like the steering, utilitarian truck isn't for you. There are other cards to drive downtown with. Awesome review guys, as usual. Greetings from 🇫🇷

Its got play in it so if your front tyres hit a rock or drop off road, the sudden change in direction doesn't break your arms as its translated up the rack and into the steering wheel. Same steering you'll find on military HUMVEEs (H1) and the old British Army Defenders.

Love that it’s a solid axle !!!

Waiting is so that you don't break off the radiator fan blades in the water when it switches on while you are crossing deep water. You deactivate the fans to prevent this.

These are really growing on me!

I actually really love what he's done here. It has a lot of character, which so many cars lack (vintage new). 😮👌🏽 However, I hope they are able to address some of those handling issues to make the thing feel a little more manageable & safe on the road, where it will likely be driven 98% of the time.

I'm so glad I never went through with my purchase on this one. As one new owner put it "some parts of my Grenadier looks like it was put together by a 5-year old". Hopefully they cleaned up some of the quality control issues but after seeing this review, especially with the steering, I feel even better having skipped this.

It is even more rugid, but zero luxury as opposed to the Gwagen which is luxurious first and quite capable secondly. I have seen a few around Montréal and the buyers are all proper off roaders.

I’ve noticed that for a while now and wondered if anyone else was picking up on that?

I found the recipe if you want to make of of these at home. Defender body, but sprinkle in some G-Wagon style (look at the bumpers), add a bmw drivetrain, use a Nissan armada infotainment screen, smart car steering wheel, everything else is a generic from autozone or eBay. Edit: and a Volkswagen Jetta key.

The steering and turning radius - the concept of “road” is more of a suggestion than a physical limitation for the Grenadier. I mean, we like knowing it’s there, but if we happen to wander off into a field or down into a ravine, no big deal. It’s called a “scenic detour.” Eventually, we’ll find the road again, at some point. Also, your remark “if my wife needed to drive this, I would not buy it . . .” - that’s a feature, not a defect.

yaayy! love it! want one!

This is perfect. I hope they roll out more dealerships.

The fact that the steering is off sucks but otherwise looks like a great off road vehicle !

Its got a low geared recirculating ball steering which is best for off road as it reduces steering kick back. Then remember its a ladder frame chassis with solid axles, also best for off roading, which explains the ride and handling. A BMW Defender would be a better analogy perhaps.

Very cool, specially if you wanna feel like a Bond villain.

self centering issue could be corrected in caster wheel alignment?

Ive been keeping up with them for years now and wanted one. Sadly, as I expected, they’re too much for me but maybe one day I’ll be able to afford them..but i doubt it

shits wild. i love it

Design wise, looks like an old defender crossed with a G wagen and this is their baby

Proper steering, portal axles, 35" tires, and a central tire inflation/deflation system. That's literally all this needs to become a full-blown offroad vehicle. The rest of it is already there.

Given the emissions regs on diesels it’s almost not worth it. This has plenty of power and torque.

I hate the rear lights, there's clearly a shape in the bodywork there for a custom light but for cost cutting reasons I guess they just implemented off the shelf round lights instead.

Could've still done with a driver's display/gauges though.

Absolutely not. We bought them for the build and capability and are absolutely trying our best to break them (not very successfully). Some GWagen or Pretender interior would be a waste of money. They need to stick with the priorities. Built On Purpose. Let everyone else go buy a GX 550 or Defender. Or drop another 50k on a custom interior and absolutely look like a tool.

Y'all need to fight and get it out of the way!

This brand new vehicle sounds like it steers about the same as my 1988 grand Wagoneer “the steering wheel points you in the general direction of where you need to go. “

This was designed to be a hard-core offroad vehicle for farmers, utility companies etc. and that's why feels less than precise on the road. Obviously many of these are never going more off-road than the local shopping mall but it's intended to be more at home lugging workers to mines or searching for broken powerless far off the beaten track. The original Defender has a transmission brake rather than a parking brake (safer off-road but you'll trash the entire driveline if it's used when in motion (so no use for drifting).

Solid axle recirculating ball steering. It should be just like the Jeep Wrangler. The wheel not recentering has more to do with alignment. The cooling fan can be sucked into the radiator in water.

Wading mode turns off the radiator fan because the resistance from water can break a fast spinning fan blade off.

How is it on the road compared to a wrangler and bronco?

Jakub: Yuri, I'm gonna let you drive but first, let me hit this bird

Wow it made it here!

You can shift manually with the shifter in M/S Mode and it stays in manual, so not completely useless. 😅 Wanna see a B58 Stage 2 Tune in one of these. Does MHD support it? 😬
