totally agree. In my country people upgrade their engines with M57s, since they are bulletproof engines, they also go for a ZF 8HP gearbox, again, they are bulletproof, twin lockers for better grip, and so on, yet this car already has them. This is crazy good

Another brilliantly edited episode. When mainstream manufacturers want to collaborate with your channel, this just confirms your wide reach and influence in the 4WD community and beyond. Congratulations in achieving that level. Looking forward to more great episodes from you guys. 👍

As a Grenadier owner, and someone who has watched every review since the prototypes were first released, I can honestly say that yours was a the most interesting and most well-put-together video I've seen (from any country 'round the world). ✅ Well done, boys. 👍 Lucky you had Justin on board. 🙂

The best part of this video is that you actually got stuck. Most manufacturers won’t let their vehicles look bad. That, in my mind, made the Grenadier look that much better. The most robust trail I had the one I drove on was an industrial dirt road near the dealer (here in UT, USA) that was rutted up due to truck traffic. It felt great on the highway and equally great on the rutted dirt road. I suspect you would have made that bog work with a bit more momentum - and it seemed like Justin would have been cool with letting you go at it that way. Great sign that they’re not too worried about these breaking too easily. Very appealing package. My first time on one of your videos, but you guys, too, are obviously great at this. I hope to see many more of your videos in the future.

The TRUE test of a proper 4x4 is how well you can get it bogged and then I bogged. So Top Marks Chaps! 😁👍👍

A very sensible and mature testing, l would trust your judgement over a motoring journalist any day of the week. Pity about Santa losing chucking a wobbly. I reckon they should lend one to you for long term testing, it would double their sales straight away. 😊

Goes to show how much big brands value the quality of your contents, and your social media reach. I just hope as your channel grows, you still stay to your roots. As for the Grenadier, it is a compelling alternative vehicle to the norm. The $110k question is, if you were in that budget range, will you choose it over a 300 Series Landcruiser?

As someone not in that price range I’ve gotta say that yes I would take this over the 300. This won’t dust the turbos, this won’t suffer the heat soak issues the hot V engines have and it’s not compromised by the two different styles of suspension on the car. Having said that, another review shows that the 300 has better TC than the IG. You’ll need to spend more on the 300 to get the gear this already has. It’d be hard call to make and I guess, for some buyers, will come to who you’re trying to please with the purchase.

The ute and cab chassis versions will give the 79 a huge run for their money. 79's are popular due to their basic style. This is basic too but also has the quality, decent engine and mod cons at what seems to be a similar price. All credit to them.

Or that time everyone had to turn around on a trail bc their rig wasn’t built for it. Granted we don’t have the 70 or 79 here which is a different story, but yeah, this Grenadier is nothing new or special in the States.

Old man had a Jeep that broke a cv joint in Cape York and a diff in the NT on pretty standard corrugations. His nostalgia for Jeeps died after the second issue and he ended up in a Prado with zero issues going 13 yrs. Aren't your "Yotas" made in the US? Sorry, but anecdotal evidence from a Jeep owner doesn't hold any weight around here. 70 series have a rep for being worked hard for 500k miles in primary industry with a bare minimum of maintenance and issues.

Awesome.Thanks for sharing and taking us along

The best test drive video. A cool boss in the back, who takes the heat & laughs when they hit the sticky point. He personifies what Jim Ratcliffe & his mates wanted this car to be. 😅

Great video and a chuckle with Justin in the back... the hole was there - we all saw it... top effort for having a crack... We love our Grenadier. It's comfortable and solid, all in one tidy package!

I think they were being a bit condescending with the whole don’t drive through the bog and is your radio working. I mean seriously you need to push cars just a little bit to know there limitations. Now we know the steering dampener is quite low at the front and maybe needs a little protection aftermarket.

Justin, what a legend! He knew his stuff, wasn't too proud to address the obvious competition to the Grenadier, address the reality of what the car is and isn't and didn't load up his spiel with superficial, useless propaganda. And he let you go through a puddle that the rest of his crew wanted everyone to avoid so that the car didn't get "slightly embarrassed" by getting bogged. Hey, these days all the ruts are 35inch tyres-deep, I can't go anywhere with my 32's anymore, so no shame in the factory stock Grenadier getting hung-up. Great vid guys, honest as always.

Thanks mate, means alot! was awesome to get to do something like this !

I'd love to see that thing go head-to-head on serious off-roading with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands. Unfortunately the G-Wagon is ifs up front nowadays. Yeah the Rubicon Wrangler has solid axles but it has Factory sway bar disconnects and way more travel and comes with 35s. The Bronco Badlands is ifs with a solid axle in the back but the ifs has tons and tons of articulation up front. The Grenadier is way too low and long but it's not terrible . When the going gets tough it would not hang with a Rubicon Wrangler or a Bronco Badlands but I guess it's a lot better than the new Defender that's for damn sure

Three things: Great to hear Justin talk with knowledge about the market. What is the point of having people do a review of your product if they are not allowed to drive it as it was intended. Bring it our as a cab chassis with a 1200 to 1300 kg payload and you can have my deposit

Loved it!! And don’t let those boys bully you in the tracks!! Hahah that big hole was a classic. Thanks for the vid

Great video. So good to see you guys being invited to a manufacturers testing day!

Great video, got a good feeling for what the vehicle is like. I can understand their concern about the bog hole, it's easy to scratch up the rims, sliders, undercarriage etc in there.

When old mate pulls up that's one of those time you think back and wish you had a better response.... Cranky Santa: "I told you about 5 times not to go through it"........Pat: "yeah, after the first two times I turned the radio off mate". Great video gents, love the laid-back style and no bullshit information on the channel, very authentic.

Great video guys, love the way you keep it real. Good looking vehicle, practical and capable. That steering damper is in a pretty dumb spot. It is very vulnerable to getting hit. Something that needs to be addressed. It wouldn't take much to move it up and around slightly higher.

Good presentation boys, well done!

Big boss was cool. Thanks for the review.

Well done, Patrick, when you got bogged you didn't panic, you thought it through with advice from Liam, you got the vehicle out instead of revving the guts out of the vehicle and dispersing mud from A to breakfast time! lol Of course if you had of owned the vehicle, I would have expected nothing less! hahhahaa. The vehicle looks very capable, however, like Liam suggested I really think bigger tyres would be the go, but would you then have to adjust/change out the control arms etc? Certainly, if you owned one, the first thing that I would add is extra heavy duty bash plates! Great Video!

Just gotta say was impressed with your video and also Justin and his knowledge and good attitude, great review! I am pretty interested in getting this car in a few years once they have ironed out the quality of its finish from factory (some stories of trim not fitting right) and a stronger accessories market. Plus more long term reviews on durability. Also for insurance prices to reduce and for the car to be more easily registered throughout Asian countries if using it for cross country overlanding

Great job you two,I reckon old mate was a bit embarrassed after he gave you serve in front of the boss!!

Great video boys. The Ineos certainly is worth considering, especially when you consider the insane prices being asked for 2nd hand Cruisers and the wait for new ones makes it a real contender.

Great and hats off to Grenadier to let young chaps experience the car and having the top guy with you :-)

Congrats on getting a drive in the Ineos, actually looks like a decent offroader.

Great video guys. Very impressive vehicle, bit of a shame about the cost and weight. A tray back double cab would go great guns with a slide on camper. Re tyres you can go from the standard 265/70 R17 up to 285/75 R17 and keep in the 7% increase rule without needing engineering in NSW, that'd give approx 28mm lift.

Another slam dunk of a video lads, you definitely pushed that grenadier to its limits, and even stock still doing the job well. Do want to point out the tyre size and correction; 265/70/17 is not a true 32” tyre but a 31.6”. Why am I specific? Next year VicRoads and VICPOL are updating the rules and now becoming more strict with everything, so that grenadier can have a 33.6” tyre at most but not a 34” without engineering. Be a beast with that rig on 2” lift with 33s on 16” rims and just have at-ing it on the tracks.
