wow. You can really see the truck base of the R1S compared to the "purpose built" Grenadier. Thanks for posting this picture for the comparison!

I didn't think there was a vehicle that would get me to give up my R1S but after driving the Grenadier I think it is amazing. I did things I wouldn't dream of doing with my Rivian, even if I had the right tires.

Different vehicles for different things. For long trips through a desert i’ll take a Grenadier, for the 3 mile fire-road into and out of the Grenadier test drive i’ll take a Rivian in rally mode ;).

So I am a preorder holder for a Grenadier. I believe our ordering starts next week. Will keep folks posted on the process if interested. Did the drive event and was impressed and want one. Will still keep my R1T and soon to be delivered R1S. Mostly will use the Grenadier for fun times :)

FWIW, we were told that for reservation holders when ordering opens you have 30 days to configure an order. When you configure within that time period does not effect your place in line. Your place in line is determined by your reservation number (or if your name is Kyle).

I reserved pretty late in the game, and have zero “need” for a Grenadier, but the “want” is high.

I don't need anything as hard core as the Grenadier, but the new Defender has me really tempted.

I wouldn't trade my Rivian in on it, but my Jeep Wrangler Unlimited Moab Edition.

I absolutely love my Jeep though and the ability to open the roof up. I'm also a bit nervous about long term reliability of Land Rover products. Jeeps generally have a lot of issues, but I've had numerous Jeeps with no issues except water leaks (they all leak eventually).

My ultimate EV would likely be a pure EV Jeep Wrangler, but that won't be out for a long time. The R1T was supposed to have an open roof option, but that never happened.

The open roof is an aftermarket DIY option.

I've already planted the seed that I will be ordering the Field-master. I can't decide between Mushroom and Queen's Red.
