Ineos doesn’t offer a snorkel on the Grenadier. They offer a raised air intake though…

Not to be pedantic, Ben, but it's not technically a snorkel. You don't gain any depth in water wading with it. It's a raised air intake, for when you're going through dusty or sandy environments, so the engine can breathe easier. It faces backward so all that stuff doesn't get blown into it. The Ineos has got SO much more room than the Jeep. There's just no comparison. I would dearly love to have one of these, but I just don't want to mortgage my house to get it. Hope you're able to put one in your stable, though.

What a ridiculous comment. Hysterical how correct your syntax and grammar are. How much time did you spend assembling your “point of correction”?

It is true that the snorkel on the Grenadier is not for wading height increase. It is for dust. It gets you above the heavier silica in dusty conditions and also has a Reservoir inside that collects dust before it hits the air filter. I have a Grenadier if that helps qualify my comment.

How’s it not a snorkel if the intake is raised? I thought that’s what a snorkel was

@tpresten

3 ай бұрын

The Grenadier has the air intake on the side of the vehicle and this snorkel is hooked to that air intake but not waterproof at the point of contact and I imagine other electrical components and mechanical devices are not waterproofed above the recommended wading depth. It's not like a snorkel on a Jeep or 4Runner can go in water as deep as the top of the snorkel.

Keep doing great things Ben!

The way you were talking about it when you reviewed the other one, I knew you would buy one.

Closest dealer to me is in Chicago 😬. Need to open one in Indy

My eldoret blue trialmaster is due for delivery quarter 4 of 2024. I am extremely excited!

Good stuff Ben, you should really get one, also there are several companies making 3/4 roof racks so you can open the safari window, also a company here in Utah making one the is full length roof rack and can open the Safari Windows -TrailRax

I got rid of my Jeep 392 for my Ineos and never looked back. The 392 was nice but I never used the engine power so the Ineos made more sense for my driving style.

It is a great looking vehicle. Have been comparing it to the Lexus GX550 Overtrail. The only item that is concerning for myself is the distance to the dealership should something need repair or maintenance. Very few authorized dealerships in North America.

Test drove the vehicle, was comfortable to drive since it has Recaro seats. Steering you have to get used to because they are off-road capable as it doesn’t have neutral back to center after turning! Has decent power since it has BMW engine. Overall, I like the old school box as the founder researched well!

I’d love to see a 2-door troopy style grenadier with high roof but this 4-door looks awesome.

I think that model is available in Europe, unfortunately the US never seems to get unique versions of vehicles.

At the dealer in the west valley city they had alot of the cream color. Not many trialmaster seemed to be alot more of the trial master sold and hold. The choice of tires for the luxury version....I guess I understand why they did it. Maybe for noise reduction and ride quality. But I guess that would be confirmed on a test drive. What did you think? The price is pretty unattainable for alot of people unless its used for a company vehicle. I agree the diesel motor would be a great option. There is a company that I found that already makes "portal axles for the Grenadier". I did a KZread search for the same

I test drove the car and the steering was not an issue.. the car was fun to drive..

Harry's Garage review was also good. He said it was one mans vision and the world has moved on from the old defender. However, he also mentioned how a basic version for Africa would be good at the right price. This is the first version and it will only get better from here on. 50,000 to 60,000USD for a vehicle with G wagon looks will probably be the sweet spot.

Cannot believe it is over 65K definitely expensive with so many parts brought over from other manufacturers

Is the BMW engine it in reliable?

They somehow made the exhaust sound fantastic for an inline 6

I would always say build your own config - but a guy like you with your connections could also go pretty stripped down off lot and do some awesome aftermarket mods to get something probably better. Just get aux power, diff locks and towing - then you can have someone else do something totally out there to it. Wheels, lift, lights, custom slide rails, cargo, roof rack, bumpers, all the toys.

My dealer here in Roswell, GA has quite a few for sale and probably has something close to what you would want on the lot. That is why I got mine now and didn't order one. They come off the boat here in Brunswick, GA so they get new ones daily. Build one online and then call them and send it over and see if they have one.

$92,000 holy 💩 it’s still a Jeep in the end ,I guess I’m keeping my 2020 ram 1500 till it dies if they keep up with these prices ,people stop paying them what they want ,lower demand = lower price.

This might be the most expensive one I’ve ever heard of…

It’s cool, but at this price point it ought to have a hell of a lot more power at the very least. If I’m not mistaken, it has a turbo BMW inline six, and from the numbers quoted it’s fairly detuned. Even with markups a Bronco Raptor or 392 Wrangler is cheaper or as expensive, and both are far more powerful. I like the vehicle, but it’s unobtanium for the vast majority of people.

I ordered mine with a 6" roof rack to still utilize the Safari windows...

starting at $91k ?!? the one your driving is at + $100k.. looks cool but not for that price point

Now as a very involved subscriber i feel like there could be a reward system where you donate the vehicle graciously to the loyal subscriber. I can be the test to make sure it will work, i want this 1 I like the factory seat covers. Im the type to like preserving things even if its unnecessary

To all the people commenting, “ITs ToO ExPenSIVE,” you aren’t their target demographic. They don’t need (and probably don’t want) you to buy one. Neither am I, I love my 4Runner and can’t afford one of these. Would I buy one not if, but because I could afford it, hell yes I would!

Ha!! I knew it! You had to have one. So here's my prediction. You bring one home. Your wife drives it. She installs car seats and slaps an "I love my hubby" sticker on the back and you wind up in the LC........or is that your plan after all? BRB, I'm grabbing my popcorn..... 😄

The dealer sets up the Favorite to disable it when you start the car if it bothers you. It honestly doesn't bother me that much but it does bother some of my passengers so win win. The Hazba Tribe in Africa talks using the same sound so I feel as if I am in Africa whenever I hear it and talk back to it.

You should do a collaboration with someone like Agile Overland or Dirtbox. Both sides would get a jump in subscribers just so we could watch that nonsense, step by step. I think Adrenaline Vans is also working on a Grenadier.

A Trial master is a jacket made famous by Belstaf in the UK. The first owners got a jacket with their truck.

“Just like a wrangler” not remotely. If you pay more than $77,000 you bought too much junk. To understand what the Grenadier is and why it’s priced where it is watch the “Dirtbox Overland” review.
