Ineos Grenadier 4x4… what do you think?

[StuckInTheEast]

Well obviously not lol. I’m just saying in a short term “tough” use review, they seem cool. Saw one behind me the other day and looked pretty neat. I’ve always been a sucker for defenders and rovers though. The old ones. Not the new ones. I’d be willing to buy one to play with but for now I’ll keep my Braptor!

The Broncos are cool and all....but i wanna know more about those stainless looking cabinets with windows behind them...I could use a few of those in my life .
In all seriousness though...these Ineos things may be capable enough off tge lot for sure. If money and potential down time waiting for parts are no object then I guess sure, why not. From a practicality or long term ownership stand point, I dont think owning one would be a very wise or enjoyable experience. I cant imagine being hundreds or more miles from home in the boonies, having a break down of any sort and trying to round up parts for repairs would be any sort of fun even with a run of the mill rig, much less a novelty like these things.

I dont know as much about European vehicles as those who specialize in them other than there arent many worth owning outside of warranty period from a practical/financial stand point.
I have never seen anyone in my small sample population over the last 22 years that has bought one used that would ever do it again.
What I do know for sure is finding parts and anyone that is willing to work on odd ball European vehicles in this country outside of major metro areas is extremely slim pickings. Even there its tough to find and aweful expensive.
These things are just a novelty for the semi wealthy and those who feel the need to be different. They make ZERO sense from a practical standpoint in my opinion.
Maybe OP will buy one and beat it off road and daily it for 7 to 10 years and itll be the cheapest to own, most reliable vehicle they have ever had...Ill check back then and eat my words if Im wrong...highly doubt that will be the case though.

I want the Quartermaster on portals, but thinking it needs a Cummins 12V swap.

Field ethos folks are rich.

The cost of repairs are insignificant to them.

Plus in their mind the FE guys never have a bad idea including $150 flip flops.

Their cycling team could use some improvement.

I thought this topic was going to be about the TdF

Its too bad they don't offer the BMW Turbo Diesel motor here as they do in Australia for the same price...

even though it doesn't even come close to the Fuel mileage of the Toyota HiLux diesels

My brother and one of his sons are into Land Rovers. Damn things are always breaking down and being trailered across the country. They love fixing them. I love having cars that don't break.... Another brother got sucked into their orbit and is regretting it as he lives 2000 miles away from them and they are not closeby to fix everything that breaks down... $2000 to fix AC. And it is ALWAYS breaking down

Also somewhat surprised the Ineos has never been brought up here on Rokslide since there are endless discussions on many other truck and 4x4 brands like Toyota and Ford.

Cons-
Expensive
Low resale
Fragile
Unproven
Very limited OEM support
Very little aftermarket support

Pros-
Looks cool

Save yourself the headache and buy another gently used 4Runner.

Agree on engine swap... apparently the BMW engine is supposed to be proven since its been around for years and even Toyota (the best of the best in regards to quality reputation) puts the same BMW engine in their own Supra model).

When researching the truck, I always thought something like a Cummins or some other diesel would make a lot of sense. Unfortunately since we are in the USA, we can't get the diesel version of the INEOS like in other parts of the world.
