New vehicles have become so expensive that these videos are almost obsolete to me anymore. But I still love you guys!

Can't wait to buy one of these... used 10 years from now.

Correction: Ineos deliberately doesn't call it a snorkel as it doesn't provide ANY additional water wading benefits. It's a raised air intake which is supposed to help take in cleaner air being up high above dust. The wading depth is exactly the same whether you get the raised air intake or not.

@10:47... I think the problem was that Roman was trying to turn. Pretty sure you have to drive straight to lock the lockers on almost any 4x4 with a front locker. If the front wheels are turning at different speeds, it's not going to lock.

Cranking the wheel while trying to lock the diffs is probably the issue.

[dustyroadz]

Locks rear diff, then turns a tight circle, lmao

[rondavis]

Its yours to do as you please, but i wouldn't lift it way up and put giant tires on it. The beauty of this rig is its classic old school safari sryle.

Congratulations on all the content you guys supply which brightens UK dull winter days considerably. I enjoy the landscapes too. Totally get the point of comparisons and some of your observations but the Grenadier was not designed to be the ultimate 4WD but designed for endurance and reliability ( please keep it for a long time ! ) and is a work truck for commercial operators primarily in whatever area they operate. It needs a 4WD capability but is not designed to be the ultimate off roader. Maintenance, reliability of all drive line components and back up is where you guys can really help. Try and break it in normal hard work!! The mechanical lockers( like the centre diff in previous Defenders) will hang on until they detect all grip is restored. They are again designed to operate in that manner so that torque wind up does no damage on a sudden disengagement. They may not operate in a manner that is as good as some competitors but what is the durability? Si.

You could disengage “lock” on the transfer case lever, i.e. move the lever out of High-Lock or out of Low-Lock, this will disengage all lockers at once.

Since it looks like a cockpit, you might as well have a laminated checklist for putting it into 4 low and locked

[JPD]

I think this is my favorite new 4x4. Styling is awesome, appears to be able to handle just about anything you can throw at it.

[C-Henry]

Anyone else appreciate that they explained why you need to drive around to show the differentials are disengaged? So many modern manuals explaine nothing, hearing that it goes into the systems involved is very refreshing.

[bg.J]

As a Norwegian, I would like to say that you have a long way to go on the driving technique on snow. You should look up some Nordic overlanding YouTubers on that.

[CJ-rkeg]

Don’t blame the car for not knowing how to lock and unlock the differentials! You didn’t watch any official videos or even read the manual beforehand.

[lindenmeyer]

Key is to slowly crawl forward. At your first attempts you were making a curve, Diffs don't like that when engaging!

[bs_art]

My biggest hope for this vehicle is that it encourages its competitors to produce their classic body style again in a new technology package. Cars have gotten so ugly in the last few decades.

[davidmahan]

😂😂😂 Read the instructions, what a pair of muppets 😂😂😂😂😂

My local Nissan dealership recently became an authorized dealership for the Grenadier. They just stacked their backlot with roughly 75 of them.

[upscaleshack]

When you say "a lot of people" are trading Broncos for Grenadiers, keep in mind that Ineos has only delivered 1, 000 Grenadiers in the entire US. "A lot" is relative considering 300, 000 or so Broncos that have been sold in America. Your dealer has sold what, 15 or 20 Grenadiers?

I think it would be interesting to see a comparison of locking speed on rollers with different 4WDs. I suspect the ford is simply indicating it’s locked before it’s actually locked. 4 wheels on rollers would be a good comparison test and eliminate uneven terrain variables.
