The man in the Tilley is the real deal - I didn't know him at all before, but got to chatting at the event as he's looking at the Gren to replace his beloved 110 that he left behind after 20 years living and travelling in Africa. I personally like the Tilley -- and every adventurer needs a hat...

Hi folks, I just got back from the Ineos event late last night and I had a really great experience. The folks there were incredibly friendly, and it was fantastic to see the prototype in the real world. I'll answer the questions that people had, and then I'll give you my impressions. I will...

Updated the list with new requests! Keep 'em coming. One thing to keep in mind though -- some of what I will see has a good chance of changing (like I'm not sure how finalized things like folding of seats is on the prototype) but I will try to ask while I'm there to ensure we at least know what...

I have the same question - I'm 6'1" and my wife is 5'4" so that seat variability is important. I'll try to snap photos or videos, and start a list of asks here. NOTE: I'm including asks from The Ineos Forum on this list too; I'll cross post the answers to both communities: 1. Headroom for 6'+...

I just got an email this morning that the Grenadier Prototype Tour is coming through Canada - Vancouver, Calgary, and Toronto. I snagged a spot already and will report back.

Good vid by Andrew St. Pierre White on his first impression on the Ineos - overall, pretty positive, with an observation on fuel that I touched on previously (Enough payload for jerry cans, that's not a terrible compromise for me).

I will be interested in what Long Ranger and other aftermarket companies come up with. The petrol option I think has a bigger tank thanks to the lack of DEF, but I don't know if there's even more space in there for an upgrade. If there isn't, it's not the worlds worst deal breaker in my books...

Fantastic news indeed -- how it works is what matters most at the end of the day after all! Etsy will no doubt have a few people making saddle leather covers or something for it if folks are so inclined!

I understand that the exterior Utility Belt rails are rated for a few hundred pounds (it was in a video about a month ago) which would be more than strong enough to mount a gas can. Given they use an industry standard track material (L-Track, I think) that are used in ambulances and such, it...

I wouldn't say that 35" tires are exclusively an exercise in vanity. They do improve performance in technical off road sections. But I do note that they certainly are a predominantly North American practice, with an honorary nod to the Australians as 35" are catching on over there. Personally...

For what it’s worth, I built and priced a Jeep in the US and Canada that was as close as I could get to the the UK Jeep Rubicon for £59,500. In the USA I landed at around $55k USD; in Canada I landed on $65k CAD. If going on exchange rates alone, the Rubicon in Canada should cost over $70,000...

Per seat, yes. So $180,000 for the Utility wagon, $360,000 for the 4 seater but if you buy 4 you get one middle one free in the back row!! :D I decided to take a gander at some European prices; for comparison a 4-door Unlimited Rubicon is about $59,500 GBP, so right in line with the Gren's...

In addition to @twt's links, here's one from The Ineos Forum showing UK prices in case the other links get the "hug of death" from too man people clicking. https://d28lcup14p4e72.cloudfront.net/268352/7666739/INEOS%20Grenadier_MY23%20Price%20List_UK_Version%201.0_April%202022.pdf EDIT - I...

@Todd n Natalie - exactly the ones I mean. I don't actually know how different they are from the fancy G-Wagens on the Mercedes' dealer lots but they look quite similar in terms of construction. And @nickw I think you are spot on - they wouldn't undercut themselves and they will charge what the...

I'm also struggling to see how this thing will come in at those prices when a new Gladiator is still north of $80k around here, but hopeful. I think it depends on what the "actual" margins are on "what else is out there" though - I've posted elsewhere that Canada was eyeing up a bunch of...

I would add that wind deflectors don't need to be fancy - it doesn't take much to dramatically alter the way wind flows over a moving vehicle (at least, dramatically enough to change the impact of wind buffeting). Some folks experience buffeting because of roof loads even with wind deflectors -...

Regarding Amazon -- Yup -- already en route; a cross-over for this community is the Amazon vans in this article are Rivian, who are positioning their EV Pickup as "adventure ready" in some of the marketing. https://insideevs.com/news/557220/rivian-electric-amazon-deliver-van/

https://phys.org/news/2010-04-world-taxis-easily-swapped-batteries.html FrenchieXJ was on the right track, just 10 years behind Tokyo! Perhaps someone with more recent evidence can let us know how this is working out today, but Tokyo had a fleet of taxis with swappable batteries as the article...

I think we do live in the same place but you raise an interesting point. This is more anecdotal on my part, but I am still shocked when I roll up to a big box store and see a Supercharger out front. I quick check of Google Maps shows about 20-30 chargers in our city but of course whether that's...

Yes absolutely. Right now there seems to be more chargers than cars in our area; I know there are plenty of parts of the world (California) where that is not the case at all and there are sometimes huge delays for supercharger access. And of course the power has to come from somewhere. Whether...
