No doubt about it the Grenadier looks a well capable truck with proven engine, gearbox and other components. I presume you’ve been in one but was that as a driver or being driven? What sort of trailer work as been done with them?

I went on the prototype tour, rode shotgun in a pre production model around Firle place estate down south. Nothing too testing but had plenty of grunt and surprisingly comfortable.

 

Not seen them doing any towing myself, but got a mate who's been involved with testing it and he said good things. Its got all the right things for tow vehicle though, weight, power and torque. 

 

Ill do a review or something on here when I get it!

Electrical fault most likely, had left it in car park. Came back and it was on fire!

Nightmare. Glad mine has absolutely minimal electrics, not even a built in radio.

Saw that on your FB John, what a nightmare.

Glad you weren’t in it at the time though!

I’ve heard you tow around a trailer with a Harman Kardon 1000W system with a bass cannon though….
