INEOS GRENADIER OFFROAD TEST and REVIEW 

Just imagine if Jeep had the 2.7 Gas turbo or 3 litre diesel General Motors engine . And a head office that valued dependability over profit. We would have the King of off road trucks .

Exactly… amazing how they perform. And now, after 12 years toyota boys discovering that there is something cool in ineos that actually works for years not only in LR

Yeah, I'm also keeping a look out for that BMW B58. Its proven itself on the motorway but we wanna see how it survives on the safari or the outback

Buddy just buy new cars every 5 years… life is short

@@espkh1549 every 5 years is a lot if you're gonna heavily modify suspension, armor etc

@@himboslice_ I’ve been running 37 and a 3 inches full kits lift on my jeep JL since 2020. 70K on the clock never had any issues

@@espkh1549 i was responding to the dude who says to get a new car every 5 years lol. idk anyone putting mods on their rig and just replacing it every 5 years unless they like burning $ or are an influencer lol

Even when you buy one it takes a year for the euphoria to wear of and be honest with yourself Long term owner reviews are interesting

The grand cherokee with the 8 speed let's you use all 8 gears also, for some reason you're limited to 40kph though

like a bicycle?

I’m hopeful they can fix the lockers wit a software update. If they don’t I think they could easily be hardwired to an old fashioned switch.

Can you tell me, is Ineos useable on road for a long distance travel? I have a full spec LC150, want to change to new one LC250 or Grenadier. I will use it most on road, just for long distance traveling.

@@DMEU77 The longest day I have done in mine was 930K from Amsterdam to Lyon. That was a long day! The footrest is annoying but it didn’t cause any real pain or discomfort. I wish it wasn’t there, but it’s not as big an issue (for me) as some have made out. The seats are very comfortable and the driving position is nice. As good as any other car that I have driven. I find that the heated seats are good for easing the ‘numb bum’ that you can get on a long drive, even in the summer I stick it on for 20 mins and then off again it does help. I have fitted an airbag lumbar roll to mine as I do suffer with back issues on occasion. I will drive for an hour in one position and then pump it up a bit to give my back a change of position and then deflate it later to do the same. There are only really two positions that your left foot can go in the grenadier, on the foot rest or with your left heel tucked behind your right foot. Again on a long drive I alternate between the two. The comfort in the grenadier is way better for me than any of the utes that I have driven, and many cars that I have owned. But its all subjective, its like asking “what’s the comfiest pair of jeans? “ What suits me might not suit you. See if you can get an extended test drive….

Thanks Ronny, you did it for me ! Brilliant review and good that you share all your “surprises”

And all 8 gears usable in low range too. In many ways the world is catching up to the Jeep WK2

​@_TenaciousD_ annoying that it's limited to 40kph in low range though, going to see if I can remove that limit somehow

@@TheAusGamer1000 would not recommend as the transfer wont be able to handle all the torque and might exploide

@Trebior1 Limiting wheel speed doesn't limit torque, you can flat foot first gear in low range, that would be the most torque the transfer case and driveline could possibly see. Higher wheel speeds could cause shock loads from track obstacles which could be an issue, but 40ks is plenty of wheel speed to do damage if a wheel stops suddenly anyway. My assumption would be gearbox output shaft speed and transfer case input shaft speed, if they're too high they could cause a failure. From my experience with older Jeeps I'd imagine you could happily do 60-80ks in low range without putting the transfer case in danger.

@@TheAusGamer1000 yeah. I get that but the transfers in the Cherokees are known for slipping and if you send it in high gear over a mound on the beach shit can go wrong

Yup lennartz does them..looks awesome

The IG on portals would be super beast mode.

@@ianwatson3315 Does anyone know what the costs are?

@@lukep1461 For some of us, you'd also have to factor in divoce costs. Aren't they in the $20K+ range?

I'd recommend a spare part availability and cost comparison.

This video is a deep dive under the Grenadier: ru-vid.com/video/%D0%B2%D0%B8%D0%B4%D0%B5%D0%BE-P41pZAX70U4.html&ab_channel=DirtboxOverland

@michaelhains2291 I've seen that video. I'd just love to see it compared to a 76

Thanks! 👍

As the devellopment was done by Magna (you know, the guys who develloped and devellop the G-Wagons and many other 4wd vehicles or 4wd systems for most manufacturers) i would be surprised if they hadn't thought of it too, (they got plenty of experience) but probably some regulation somewhere has prohibited that, and so all vehicles have that for ease of manufacturing.

It's the same transmission.

​@@philipparana9225 Yeh, that's his point

It's got 8 gears, why wouldn't they be available in low range?

​@@ThisPc0001 Many cars limit gears in low range. The Ranger/Everest for example only give you 6 out of the 10. Don't really know why, but it is what it is

Probably a reliability consideration. The force multiplication on those higher gears must be great in low range..

check out, I Do Cars , for his teardown of the 3 liter diesel.

@@rodgood looks about the same as most EcoDiesel failures. The manufacture recommends oil changes at 10k miles, need to be done at 5k. It’s a 100k motor, with warranty. Powerful and fun for a small package, it’s no 4bt. Will trade mine in at 80k.

Sorry but I only like Christmas lights on my vehicle during Christmas season.

@@DPR178 you mean on your Alfa Romeo?

@@beyondthehorizon27 😂😂 Guilty. Although there is less wiggle room on reliability for a 4wd.
