So nice to see a return to form of the original Ronny. No weird flashy graphics and cheap VFX, just honest footage of a beautiful trip with the best commentary.
Nice one, I have done 17,000 UK miles in 4 months in my Trialmaster. To the Balkans, Morocco, Alps, Pyrenees, UK, France, Spain you name it. You just want to get in and drive it
Having watched all the Grenadier videos so far I am coming to the conclusion that if I had the money, I would not hesitate to get one. It seems very capable and it looks like a 4wd should look. Had to smile at the quick dip in the road/river as it brought back memories of a time we did the same thing near Sawpit Gorge up in the Kimberleys although it was in the middle of the day, the water was very red and warm even though it was flowing.
Loving the Grenadier contnet, in my mind its the perfect combination of function and comfort for a 4x4. Would love to see you take out a Quatermaster next and compare it to a dual cab 79!
Great content, Ronny. That's beautiful country out that way. It will be interesting to hear your final conclusion about the IG. The electronics with the diff locks are a bit of a "fly in the ointment"! Great vistas!
Unsurprisingly the more heavily modified Land Cruiser did not do the harder sections as well as the Ineos. But then again the Land Cruiser would not have done it as well as a 110 Defender (ie not the new one) in close to stock form. A well set up live axle coiler just cannot be beaten offroad when compared to leaf under axle set ups on the Cruisers. Cheers
Loved the Video Ronny, Wish it was longer, I think the way you’re editing these days is a bit too slick. Yes its very professional but a bit longer with some more ‘warts n’ all’ would be nice.
Great video but on that initial climb out why wouldn't you "lock up" before going for it? uneven with loose rocks has got the use of diff locks written all over it!
I don't know if you've watched a lot of his videos but he likes to see how the vehicles perform without any assistance devices activated just to see if they can do it, and then he turns it on afterwards to compare how it performs with the assistance on
@floofy117 Fair enough and Ronny's a far more experienced 4x4 driver than me, but on loose rocks like that which wasn't a straight up, in places the vehicle could have potentially slipped sideways I wouldn't take the risk, I certainly wouldn't want to come back down in reverse so I'd fully lock 1st, but again he's got bigger ⚽️'s than me!
@@patricksheringham5965 i don't think it's him having bigger balls, i think since his videos are at their core educational content, he's just showing people what would happen depending on whether they choose to use diff locks in those situations or not.
If you don't get in early enough, you'll end up with the most average spot along that creek. Still not bad by any means especially with the tepid water for a wash/swim.
I don’t understand why people attempt things without diff locks only to have to engage them afterwards to get through. Why not use all the 4WD’s functions to start with, giving it the best chance to get up first time.
Don’t get me wrong the car itself looks like a good thing but let’s be honest we all spend a far bit of time in major towns or cities as well so I think those boxes on the side will be problematic on such a wide car. Imagine anyone especially older people trying to get around them or even out of their own cars when park next to them in car parks.
I've test-driven Grenadier for a day, Amazing vehicle, BUT the interior size and that stupid lump and space for my legs are WRONG. back pain, leg pain, and shoulders. storage space is very limited, forget about kids at the back, it's a nightmare. Ronny tell me you get paid to sit in it) The salesman was asking if I've seen your videos and how great this vehicle is because you driving it) You became a sales pitch). For the vehicle's price, it would be more practical to buy a new auto 79 or last made 200 plus all the upgrades on it. after driving it I started to love my 200 more and more. My 200 doesn't need all these switches and fancy gear nob, It just goes where I tell him) space for kids at the back is a football field compared to Grenadier. It's a great weekend car that makes you feel like you doing harsh off-road on the moon for the European market. if they ever make the same vehicle but wider inside without any lumps maybe I look at it again someday.
