I had to return my GLS580 to Mercedes under the lemon law - they could not get the active steering to stay working. I've had GL/GLS for 15 years and love the platform, but they are so unreliable and expensive to maintain. I've had to replace shocks, platform computers, coils, steering racks, fuel pumps, transfer boxes and more...

So - went in a very different direction and picked up a Grenadier!

Looks very cool. French, Italy, and German in the stable.

Is the Grenadier petrol or diesel?

Petrol - I don't think they have imported any Diesel ones into the USA. Gas is so cheap here.

@Luzifer the brand is Ineos - like the chemical manufacturer. To make a long story short, the CEO loves the old Land Rover Defender 90/110 s and when they stopped making them, he tried to buy the rights to continue manufacturing them - Land Rover said no, so he bought a factory from Mercedes and designed a "homage" car instead.

They just hit 35,000 sold - so a new brand, but doing well! It's probably the most capable off-road car on the market today, diff locks front, back and center, high-low transfer box, wading mode, solid axles front and back, and a distinct lack of computers. https://ineosgrenadier.com/

The pub where he came up with the idea (The Grenadier, Belgrade London) just got awarded an "official world origin" plaque! - https://media.ineosgrenadier.com/en...ficially-recognised-as-world-origin-site.html

so you can guess there's a little bit of an owners fan club - like Lamborghini ;-)

Very cool story, I was an avid offroader for many years. I've had and modified many Toyota 4Runners with or without solid axles for off-roading and rock crawling with locked diffs, beefier front axles, dual transfer cases, re geared rings and pinions, armor against trees, snorkel, relocated fuse box and computers up high, on board welder etc.

The 4Runner with dual transfer cases meant I had 2 shifters, in the lowest gear if I wanted to I could jump out of the truck and it would climb a rocky hill by itself. I had a lot of fun. So many adventures and stories.
