I'd like to see one IRL. I was able to do a 3D feedback panel/review thing several years ago when it was still in the design phase and really appreciated the details that went into it. It really addressed a lot of the usual mods for overlanding/adventure traveling so I hope they end up doing well in the market.


... and it looks like they're causing (*one cause, anyway) Toyota to re-evaluate where the Landcruiser brand was headed.

That is one way to do it!

I did a build, came out to $81,500 - Rivian territory.

If needing long times in back country, expedition trips, I'd get the BMW inline 6. Maybe this is more durable and off road capable as well, while Rivian maybe more plush and better on road.

This is wild

Ineos on Battlwground used to be my customer. Had no idea they even produced this.

A lot of people are also excited for the B58 BMW straight 6 turbo in it, and it could wind up to be a great pairing as I know that engine is highly regarded, but it's also not been used yet in vehicle that is intended to be used in low range as much as this one. Will have to wait and see if it can take the abuse.

Guy I work with ordered one from Mossy Grenadier off the Katy freeway a while back. Got his build notice around Christmas. Expecting delivery middle/end of February. Will be interested to see it…

Know a guy in my small town that has one as I saw it for the first time yesterday. That keeps me from ever wanting one for myself.

I went and sat in one yesterday. They had one for sale due to buyer back out, one demo, and 43 sold and to be delivered.

They aren't really like anything else out there. Good room inside, gotta climb a little to get in. Front seats are really comfy recaros, rear seat leaves a lot to be desired. Would be tough to sit in them for a long drive.

The vehicle is pretty burly, tires are bigger than they look in pics, lots of cool unique features like the z track everywhere. Drivers cockpit is a lot like a plane. Very little digital stuff, switches everywhere. They even prewire the roof and add toggle switches to those electric points. Aux battery already installed.

They are kinda a mashup of a jeep, a G wagon, and an old school defender.

I really liked it a lot, but I doubt I will get one as I would hate driving that slow. On the other hand as I get older my wife says I drive like an old man anyway. They do qualify for the sec 179. Really the stopper for me is that I already have the adventure van and the land rover. This seems to be more of what I already have.

If you don't know this guy's channel he's a big Jeep guy and spends a ton of time off-road and Overlanding.

Interesting thoughts. Lack of sway bar disconnect option is surprising. As is the lack of 4:1 low range, but ~ 2.5:1 seems to do fine in my LX. I probably haven't pushed it hard enough for it to matter yet.

Looks pretty awesome.

Don't know if I could pay that much for something with unknown reliability and ? On aftermarket repairs though.

Front end looks like an Edsel-ized SUV.

They got sued by Land Rover over the exterior design, so I think they were looking to move a little bit away from the old Defender on the front end. To me it looks like the old Defender and a G Wagon had a ******* child.

I've seen a handful around Houston.

saw a beige one in ft worth the other day - looked super cool

Noticed yesterday that my neighbor has the beige one. Hanging out with them today so will try and check it out.

Neighbor got one. Haven't spoke to him about it yet. Probably being picky, but the slope on the hood looks funny to me.

Not mine but got to walk around it. Steelies are the way to go

Parked next to one like this on a ferry boat today. Looks great. The rims look bad though. They look like they are running on 4 spares.

What would the reasons be to get this over the new GX550? Only potential advantages of the Ineos i can think of are looks (subjective), solid front axle (worse on-road performance), and a true locking front differential vs the GX's A-Trac (not sure I'd say there's a significant advantage gained there).

The Ineos Trailmaster starts at $10k more than the GX Overtrail too.

As someone who is buying a GX 550, the Ineos is way cooler, more unique, more capable off road, and completely customizable. That said, the Ineos isn't near practical enough for me to DD. The steering alone with a recirculating ball and no self centering is an absolute deal breaker for me as a daily driver.

That said, a good friend of mine is getting one so I'll be able to do a direct comparison between it and the new GX.

I get that, but that can't be a large market that needs those. The GX has pretty impressive articulation for IFS and has a solid rear axle. The Overtrail model also comes with center and rear locker, and A-trac is effective enough to make up for not having a front locker in most situations.
