I still like my Grenadier. Our 2015 G550 has had approximately $15-20k in warranty work completed on it between 45,000-70,000 miles (bought pre-owned MB Certified). This doesn’t take into account the rust and re-paint around the windshield that they actually fixed, to my shock but my wife can be...

I had a new Defender before selling it for the Grenadier. The B pillar in the ND was even further forward, enough so that I couldn’t comfortable rest my arm on the door with the window down without it hitting my humerus in weird spot. The shelf in the Grenadier with the window doubles as an arm...

Our G550 is a 2015. It's almost all city driving running kids back and forth. The original plan was to swap it for the Grenadier but my wife really likes it and we've found a good independent specialist shop that has experience working on them. We joke about it, but you can almost watch the fuel...

I’m not trying to debate much further, but if you care to look at the Grenadier forum everything you mention has already been discussed ad nauseam. We all fortunate enough to be able to buy what we want and what suits our lifestyle. I see more Jeeps/Broncos that are lifted with big tires and all...

I'm right at 6'2" and my wife is around 5'7"ish. The seats in the new Defender are similar to most of the cars out there, first thing I noticed was how flat the seat base was. Wouldn't say they were uncomfortable, but even with all the adjustments I could make I could never quite get the base...

There’s actually quite a few in-depth discussions, just have to look at some of the sub-forums. Lots of info on the dual battery (pros and cons of the Ineos setup), lockers and lots of info on the electrical connections (both inside and on the roof). There’s a lot of excitement on the Grenadier...

Everyone has their own perceptions and opinions about how things should be. In the end I’m glad they were able to bring it to the States and I’ve enjoyed driving the Grenadier thus far. Also not ashamed that I also want the jacket… I’d also say that most forums, be they cars, watches, guns...

I bought mine and daily drive it. Traded in our 2021 Defender HSE. Have around 1500 miles now with a 50/50 split between interstate and city driving. Aside from the rear visibility, with isn’t much of an issue, it’s been great and comfortable. The seats and driving position in the Grenadier are...

Our original plan was to sell the G550 for the Grenadier. In the end my wife decided she liked her GWagon more, which was fine with us as it just suits her more. The Mercedes dealer local to us is awful but we were fortunate enough to find a Euro shop that specializes in these cars. If we had to...

Picked up our Trialmaster two weeks ago and thought I'd update this thread with my thoughts. Overall I really, really like the Grenadier. It drives more like a truck than the new Defender (had a 2021 that I sold). At first it was slightly more involved with the different steering inputs but...

They way the vehicle is built you can spec roof cross bars or the full rack. Both of which attach the the side rails similar to the original Defender and GWagon.

Any issues using roof bars vs a full fledged rack? Asking because our Grenadier should be available for pickup within the next week or so. I mounted our iKamper on my (now sold) new Defenders expedition rack and am trying to find a solution for our Grenadier. Currently have the factory roof bars...

I hardly post here - we took our Defender to a local spot to play around. I know the line I took when the wheel lifted was the wrong approach, but it was fun regardless. My oldest son looks for any excuse the climb the ladder and sit on top. Installed the expedition rack recently so it’ll be...

I do find it somewhat comical that the majority of the negative comments seem to stem from the styling vs the capability. Had Defender given us the bare bones Jeep alternative it would have sold in limited numbers, we’d only need to look at the last few years of original Defender sales to prove...

Looks great! How do you like the ladder? I have a 2021 HSE ordered and may still add the expedition rack and ladder to my build.

I‘d argue that the new Defender follows the ethos of the original more closely than the current Land Cruiser resembles its counterparts produced 30 years ago. LR built a modern SUV that met the demands of most its potential customers, and gasp, they're using modern technology and electrical...

I’ve followed these threads since their inception, and have been waiting for the release of the new Defender for 10 years... My local dealership has one on their floor (per-production demo) and I have to say I really like it in person. Like most cars the pictures just don’t do it justice...

For those new to g-wagons and looking for an earlier model - where's the best place to look? Like the others replying to this thread I'm more interested in an earlier model, more for its simplicity for me at least. Having looked at all of the various forums out there I'm still not sure what the...
