Don’t get me wrong, I’m still jealous as heck, but these videos are really good and this is the best yet. Really clear and informative and quickly dispelling a lot of the misunderstanding and guessing that’s out there at the moment. Keep up the good work.
When this vehicle has proven as reliable and durable as its equivalent Toyota Models, I’ll agree to the extra 30k price tag just for the looks which so far from every point of view is the only advantage over its direct competitors
That price difference is only for America. For the rest of the world, the Toyota landcrusier is actually 20-30k more than an Ineos, hence a better deal.
Absolutely beautiful truck. So many are missing out on this wonderful vehicle, because they're so busy buying familiar car names instead. Mercedes, General Motors, Ford, Toyota, but the new kids on the block deserve a chance at recognition!
i also think they deserve a chance. Ineos didn't try to re-invent the wheel...they took proven components and created the Grenadier. I like the concept and am confident it works!
@@grenadier_exploring If it works, we will see in few yr. Till then ... Positive is, that now Toyota will have to invest into 70 series, if they keep up to the market.
Thank you for a very clear explanation of the modes and diff locks. Looking forward to seeing more of your videos while I wait for my Grenadier to arrive in Australia. 🙂
Glad it was helpful! i follow the australian offroad scene quite closely....love your modifications. unfortunatley quite a few are not legal here in austria 🙈. but i will get some things from down under as well (roof top tent, awning and a few more bits)....will cover that as well.
I have a question. When descending steep hills off road what's the best way to control your speed? Do you rely on the auto box 'holding' a low gear, do you switch to manual and hold a low gear or do you use the Downhill Assist? I've found that holding a low gear in auto the car still wants to change up which can give some scary moments.
hi. i do see the same issue, though in Auto it's still holding the gear quite long. The HDC is a very good system and worked till now every time really well and you can fully concentrate on steering and set/control the speed exactly as you like it. Me personally, I love to put the transmission to manual, 1st gear and roll down the hill with engine brake. works up to +-30 degrees of slope really good (if it's not too slippery).
Hey, thanks for the video! Could you please advise me how to turn off the diff locks, the light keep blinking and doesn't turns off! Thanks in advance!
Hello. In my Video "How To - Episode 06" I talk about this issue. In short: blinking doesn't mean the lockers are still engaged. it means that the car hasn't sensed a difference in wheel spin yet and couldn't confirm the dis-engagment. doing a (few) turn(s) should stop the blinking. 👍🏻
great IG tutorial video and also enjoyed wathcing 10,000 km run review. Regarding the diff locks, I have seen several issues discussed at the IG forum engaging/ disengaging diff locks. I am wondering if you have had any issues of operating diff locks? Thanks!
First of all: thanks a lot 🤗💪🏻. I've seen those reports. I have no issues with engaging/disenganging. every now and then it will take a while until your lockers disengage but I consider that normal. a few turns and it works.
Had it confirmed today by my local dealership. Following the software update, we no longer have the nifty screen presentation when in off road mode. A pity. Hopefully they will reinstate it.
I’m from Canada so still waiting to get mine. Question, can you lock the centre differential lock while moving, or not in Hi range and if so do you have to pull the collar to do it.
Hi. When do you get yours and which configuration? Yes, you can engage the centre diff. lock on the move in HI and LO. The front&rear diff. locks can be engaged up to a speed of 15km/h (8mph) as well. Only HI to LO (and vice versa) requires you to stop and put the transmission in N for the change.
@@grenadier_exploring Delivery moth is in July (we are quite behind here). Is the Trialmaster rough pack. Anyway, the reason of my question is that I had a bit of trouble with this when I was test driving yesterday and the fellow that was with me did seem to be that familiar with that either. I have been driving only part time 4WD manual transmission for decades. And done modifications to my trucks etc. This will be my first full time 4WD with automatic transmission. As far as how to engage different features each vehicle is different as you probably know. Thank you for the response
nice choice!!! I understand. With the transfer case on the Grenadier you need to use a little force in the beginning (especially when they are new). I would call it a "positive action" to engage the gear. I have no problems with engagements of HI/LO, diff locks, etc. Only thing i observe: it takes a while for the locks to dis-engage....requires sometimes a few turns.
I am very much waiting for some video on this new vehicle that is more in-depth on the off-road capabilities. Can’t wait to see how versatile and capable it really is.
@@grenadier_exploring, excellent my friend!! At the moment, you are the only one out there using their new Grenadier to show us how this thing stacks up. We have seen plenty of relatively basic off road tasks that don’t seem to challenge the capabilities much at all. If you produced a video that gave a wealth of insight into your impressions of what may be some of the upper limits of its capabilities, that would definitely become a very popular video for sure. So many of us are waiting for this, but we also understand that for many, this is probably their baby and don’t want to go too far. At some point there will be those that put the Grenadier to the real test. But for now, some extended coverage of the vehicle in its element would be terrific. Can’t wait to get mine!!! Won’t be here until after December, but I have no problem with that. Yeah, I’m anxious to put it through its paces, but I totally get the massive undertaking they are engaged in to make this all come together and putting out a top quality product. Great stuff!! 👍🏻😎👍🏻
@@Far2hip i can tell you...it´s worth the wait. i am in contact with some guys at Ineos (know them from "The Hard Way Home" event) and they are really working hard to get the cars to the customers...but they wanna get it done right. the hardware is perfect - that is really reassuring. seems like the work on some software issues and small (cosmetic) parts. I am planning a little off-road event with some friends/supporters in may. Let's see how far we go on this occasion....cameras will be rolling 😉😅😎
Based on what you’ve seen regarding build quality, the strength of components, do you feel it’s worth the money? I have a delivery coming up and was a bit sticker shocked to be honest.
the price is high. but - so far - I believe the components are really good! I only identified s few parts that could be stronger/better quality. those will be either updated or taken care of by the aftermarket I believe (two levers and a few switches). will point that out in my next video - 10.000km review
What is the off-Road Performance, now you been using the vehicle for a while, also what the Vision like Off-Road too, equally how well does the Steering perform Off-Road too? Lastly how is access in and out of the rear passenger doors, or in and out of the rear tailgate door too, or in and out of the front passenger door too, are there suitable grabrails in place? As I am only 4ft 10 inches tall myself, so are the drivers and front passengers seat, fully height adjustable too, also the driver's foot pedels adjustable for driver's size and height or length of legs too?
hello wendy! the off-road performance is amazing. i am releasing a video today with a very basic demonstration...more to come. the steering is designed for off-road as well. you have handles above the door entrance but they are not really grab handles. without sidesteps it's a task to get in. so i would suggest to consider that option, especially with your height. the driver is seat is fully adjustable, also in height but the pedals are NOT.
In the low range when you put the transmission in manual mode how can you lock the gears? For instance if you want to go downhill in 1st gear the transmission should stay locked in 1st no mater what. But if it is in manual mode but not locked, if you put it in 5th and you start from stand still the transmission should change gears form 1st to 5th. Does it have this feature?
if you want to start with a high gear, it will shift down automatically to the gear needed to get going (depending on LOW or HI). but then it stays in that gear until you shift up (in manual mode). does that answer the question?
@@grenadier_exploring Two different scenarios: 1. when going downhill, if it's very steep, I prefer to lock the automatic gearbox in manual mode 1st gear and engine compression will be enough to slow down the car to a walking pace. HDC is on just as a safety secondary feature as I don't like it's lag, can be dangerous on muddy conditions. 2. When going uphill for a long steep climb I lock the gearbox in manual mode, start from standstill with 2nd gear and if needed on the last 1/3 or 1/4 of the climb I shift in 3rd gear. So, when locked in manual mode my gearbox is 100% acting like a manual gearbox, just I don't have a clutch to operate having both worlds of auto and manual gearbox. This feature also allows to start from standstill in 4th gear and the gearbox will stay locked in that gear, which is helpful when I am in mud as I can use the little traction I have with low torque. Locking in manual mode only work in Low. It's a LR Disco 2 TD5 Auto. Can you operate the same with the Ineos Grenadier, locking the gearbox exactly in the gear you want, no matter what revs is the engine, or the computer will eventually shift gears by itself?
did now some checks, here are the results: 1.) the transmission never shifts up for you!! 2.) when slowing down in a high gear, the transmission will eventually go to a lower gear automatically - when u approach a RPM that is too low for the engine (no matter if in AUTO or MANUAL) 3.) the highest gear you can start with depends on the selection of the transfer case. 2nd gear in HI and 3rd gear in LOW! 4.) you still have to shift up manually, no matter which gear you had selected when stopping (in MANUAL) hope I could answer all the questions?!
@@grenadier_exploring Thank you Ingemar, quite a complete answer. Nice to know that you can drive it in a safely manner. On global market today there are not so many choices for a strait from the showroom off road ready car. Ineos Grenadier, Jeep Wrangler Rubicon, Ford Ranger (soon Bronco) Raptor. Any other model need at least different tires. If you plan to visit Romania write me, I'll be glad to help you
Noted! i will definitley show that in my offroad-video. probably also on a steep descend with engine braking only. plus i will add some outside footage 👍🏻
My understanding is that, when in low range, the vehicle automatically starts in 2nd gear. You can of course go into manual mode and select 1st gear. 🙂
Help me out: to engage the F/R differential locks, it’s less than 40% throttle, less that 15km/h and no spinning wheels. But aren’t the wheels spinning when driving less than 15km/h? Or is it the steering wheel that shouldn’t be spinning? Thank you. I’m impatiently awaiting my Fieldmaster to arrive in Australia!
auf Autobahnen bei rd. 130km/h geht der Verbrauch rauf auf 13-14.5l. Landstrasse sind unter 10 zu schaffen. Ich habe zu Zeit einen Schnitt von 12l, fahre aber nicht sehr sparsam und musste viele km auf Autobahnen abspulen.
Hello Mark! the front and/or rear diff. locks have to be off!! the center one can still be engaged! otherwise the system can't brake the wheels individually.
Danke für die tollen video. Mir fällt auf dass der Scheibenwischer ein großes Dreieck rechts auf der Fahrerseite nicht erreicht. Ist das sehr störend? Gibts Abhilfe ? Gruß Bernd
ich persönlich finde es nicht störend, es wurde aber in der Presse reichlich diskutiert. Ineos arbeitet an einer Lösung des Problems. Ich werde noch ein Video posten in dem man die Scheibenwischer bei Regen sieht....
My Grenadier 2 seat utility, which has both rough and smooth packs installed, does not have the screen available showing the diff locks and torque’s at time stamp 3:03. How do you get this screen to show up.
@@grenadier_exploring Hi thanks for the reply and the great videos you have done. I have been watching them and then trying the various things with my new grenadier I got a week ago. Hence the question. My grenadier doesn’t do that it just has the speedo, temp, fuel and rpm as it does in normal high road mode. Engaging low and locking the diffs does not alter this.
@@grenadier_exploring Great thanks 🙏 I would imagine mine has the latest version as it was built in November. I have noticed though that it has the sticking door buttons due to the seals. So obviously this has t been resolved even though it’s a know issue. Any help would be much appreciated h appreciated.
there seems to be a little bolt in the door mechanism, not perfectly manufactured, to block the button from coming back out under certain circumstances. don't have that issues on mine anymore. but if it happens, tap the area below the door handle with your flat hand - then it jumps back out.
Thanks so much for the video, your series is really informative and I'm subscribed! What is the top speed that you can engage the center diff lock (CDL) from normal on pavement 4wd open diff mode? An example would be that you are cruising on drive pavement in the mountains and then encounter icy or snowy conditions and you'd want to go into 4WD high and then you continue back to dry pavement where you'd want to disengage the CDL, back to its normal 4WD open diff mode.
thank you very much for your subscription and i am glad you enjoy the videos. I just went through the manuals again but couldn't find a max speed to engage the center diff lock. it is 15km/h (8mph) for the rear and front diff locks and the maximum speed to have the locks engaged is 70km/h (43.5mph). the engineers' words were "at low speeds". I will try to get you a number!! As I see it, 15km/h (8mph) is definitely safe but of course it would be nice to be able to go faster in the situation you described! I encounter that a lot as well here in Austria.
@@grenadier_exploring I did get a response from and Ineos Grenadier Sales person who said they spoke with and engineer who said there wasn't a speed restriction and that proper CDL usage during handover. I presume that is the transition from a high traction to low traction surface. I have a test drive lined up next month in Seattle, USA and will be sure to ask them, but do you have any additional insights now that you have more KMs of use?
i am sticking to the guidelines we got in Morocco and what I found in the manual so far. If you get the info, pls let me know. Should I hear something, I´ll post it as well
Could you make a video of the size of the rear cargo area? I would also love to see a video of it side by side with an old Defender 110 and a Gelandawagen LWB.
i am actually preparing a video with all the dimensions - including cargo - release next week. the comparison with an old Defender 110 is actually a good idea...
...that's a little sticker, I guess from the film crew when we were recording in Morocco during my "HardWayHome"....forgot to remove it 🙈🤪😬🙈. Ineos should release the movies soon 🤗
oh i see what you mean - around the utility belt?! i guess that is a combination of the salt residue from the roads in the austrian alps and the light! the plastic still looks fine in "real life" 😅
@@romeandcurry6915 I was focused on the inside. You are correct, all of the plastic outside looks strange. Bumpers, flares, utility belt. As they are all from different suppliers I am wondering if they are all just covered in dust. He said previously that he won't be washing it often
Interesting that the wading mode turns off the cooling fan, so it doesn’t throw water all over the engine. Smart. I wonder if any other manufacturers have thought of that?!
and it's not cutting into the water! if u pay attention in the video, it also switches to "recirc air" and closes the air intake for the heating-a/c. there is a list in the manual of what is turned off....
@@grenadier_exploring It stops the fan from driving into the radiator. It also turns off the diesel PF burn cycle. You need to be in low range locked and below 30kmh I believe
You should never take your seat belt off while driving especially not when off-roading. The only exception is perhaps when wading very deep water as you may need to get out very quickly if something goes wrong.
u are absolutely right. but if you need to scout a lot, get in and out of the car and are not in danger of rolling the car over etc., then it is a nice feature as well. The new Defender wouldn't let you even move the car without seat belt on. And: the warning is OFF in the wading mode as well.
Don’t get me wrong, I’m still jealous as heck, but these videos are really good and this is the best yet. Really clear and informative and quickly dispelling a lot of the misunderstanding and guessing that’s out there at the moment. Keep up the good work.
thanks a lot!! i would be jealous as well 😉. hope you get yours soon!!

no wheel should be slipping (losing grip and spinning). Fine to engaged if you're simply moving slowly with no wheel spin.

ich persönlich finde es nicht störend, es wurde aber in der Presse reichlich diskutiert. Ineos arbeitet an einer Lösung des Problems. Ich werde noch ein Video posten in dem man die Scheibenwischer bei Regen sieht....
My Grenadier 2 seat utility, which has both rough and smooth packs installed, does not have the screen available showing the diff locks and torque’s at time stamp 3:03. How do you get this screen to show up.
comes up whenever i engage the offroad mode or go in “LOW” with the transfer case

Hi thanks for the reply and the great videos you have done. I have been watching them and then trying the various things with my new grenadier I got a week ago. Hence the question. My grenadier doesn’t do that it just has the speedo, temp, fuel and rpm as it does in normal high road mode. Engaging low and locking the diffs does not alter this.
very interesting! i know, there has been a software update. let me check with other owners 🧐

Great thanks 🙏
I would imagine mine has the latest version as it was built in November.
I have noticed though that it has the sticking door buttons due to the seals. So obviously this has t been resolved even though it’s a know issue. Any help would be much appreciated h appreciated.
there seems to be a little bolt in the door mechanism, not perfectly manufactured, to block the button from coming back out under certain circumstances. don't have that issues on mine anymore. but if it happens, tap the area below the door handle with your flat hand - then it jumps back out.
Very helpful thanks😊
You're welcome 😊
Thanks so much for the video, your series is really informative and I'm subscribed! What is the top speed that you can engage the center diff lock (CDL) from normal on pavement 4wd open diff mode? An example would be that you are cruising on drive pavement in the mountains and then encounter icy or snowy conditions and you'd want to go into 4WD high and then you continue back to dry pavement where you'd want to disengage the CDL, back to its normal 4WD open diff mode.
thank you very much for your subscription and i am glad you enjoy the videos.
I just went through the manuals again but couldn't find a max speed to engage the center diff lock. it is 15km/h (8mph) for the rear and front diff locks and the maximum speed to have the locks engaged is 70km/h (43.5mph).
the engineers' words were "at low speeds". I will try to get you a number!!
As I see it, 15km/h (8mph) is definitely safe but of course it would be nice to be able to go faster in the situation you described! I encounter that a lot as well here in Austria.
@@grenadier_exploring I did get a response from and Ineos Grenadier Sales person who said they spoke with and engineer who said there wasn't a speed restriction and that proper CDL usage during handover. I presume that is the transition from a high traction to low traction surface. I have a test drive lined up next month in Seattle, USA and will be sure to ask them, but do you have any additional insights now that you have more KMs of use?
i am sticking to the guidelines we got in Morocco and what I found in the manual so far. If you get the info, pls let me know. Should I hear something, I´ll post it as well
Could you make a video of the size of the rear cargo area? I would also love to see a video of it side by side with an old Defender 110 and a Gelandawagen LWB.
i am actually preparing a video with all the dimensions - including cargo - release next week. the comparison with an old Defender 110 is actually a good idea...
@@grenadier_exploring it seems a bit wider, with a shorter cargo area, but the other dimensions seem similar
dimensions are now online in the latest video!
Forgive me if it's already been covered, but what's the little green thing underneath and to the left of the hazard lights button?
...that's a little sticker, I guess from the film crew when we were recording in Morocco during my "HardWayHome"....forgot to remove it 🙈🤪😬🙈. Ineos should release the movies soon 🤗
@@grenadier_exploring Ah! I see, I thought it could have been a secret button for something. (ejector seat perhaps ; )
🤪🤪 maybe a good thing to add....for complaining co-drivers 😈
The grey plastic looks 10 years old already, hope this is a trick of the light or is it really that damaged?
Which part of the grey plastic looks 10 years old? I can't see any damage or wear? What am I missing?
oh i see what you mean - around the utility belt?! i guess that is a combination of the salt residue from the roads in the austrian alps and the light! the plastic still looks fine in "real life" 😅
Thanks for the reply
@@DavesIneosGrenadier look at the utility belt at 18s
@@romeandcurry6915 I was focused on the inside. You are correct, all of the plastic outside looks strange. Bumpers, flares, utility belt. As they are all from different suppliers I am wondering if they are all just covered in dust. He said previously that he won't be washing it often
The diff lock engagement seems really easy no problems.
it really is! all three of them...
Interesting that the wading mode turns off the cooling fan, so it doesn’t throw water all over the engine. Smart. I wonder if any other manufacturers have thought of that?!
and it's not cutting into the water! if u pay attention in the video, it also switches to "recirc air" and closes the air intake for the heating-a/c. there is a list in the manual of what is turned off....
@@grenadier_exploring It stops the fan from driving into the radiator. It also turns off the diesel PF burn cycle. You need to be in low range locked and below 30kmh I believe
@@DavesIneosGrenadier all correct! it limits the speed to 30km/h or 18mph
You should never take your seat belt off while driving especially not when off-roading. The only exception is perhaps when wading very deep water as you may need to get out very quickly if something goes wrong.
u are absolutely right. but if you need to scout a lot, get in and out of the car and are not in danger of rolling the car over etc., then it is a nice feature as well. The new Defender wouldn't let you even move the car without seat belt on. And: the warning is OFF in the wading mode as well.
Or whilst filming under controlled conditions. And to demonstrate the functions of the vehicle.. geez
Can you drive in low with open middle diff?
Yes, you can!
