Ineos?

Third row would be great. My current family adventure vehicle is an Excursion. I need that extra row!

I love that thing. Its a V10 6.8l Gasser. Found it about 5 years ago with only 64k miles from an old guy who was original buyer. Mint condition. Green Eddie Bauer edition. I would have loved to find a 7.3 in that condition, but in retrospect the gasser is reliable, easy to work on, and cheap to maintain.

What a cool find. Post some pics.

Here she is a couple years ago hauling timbers for my cabin build in PA. Side note: anyone ever stopped at the Iron Bridge off of 80 pictured here?Until this past year they have always had $1 pints of Yeungling draft all day everyday. Great place for a beer and some good food even at the new inflation price of $2. There was always billboard on 80 advertising the $1 beers….the end of an era.

I was an early adopter. Reserved mine the first day reservations were open. Ordered a Trialmaster and waited patiently for a few years until it was stateside. Picked up in February of 2024 and now have a little over 27,000 miles on the clock.

Until recently, service was a breeze. My dealer (about 1.5 hours away) offered a valet service where they picked up my truck and left me with a loaner. When I called to schedule the 24,000 service they said I had to bring it in. No amount of pleading persuaded them to continue with the valet service.

The good news is that I have received access to the online workshop manuals directly from Ineos Automotive. I’m not sure if this is a perk that I received as an early adopter but it gave me the info I needed to do the service myself. The better news is that a new dealership is expected to open this year right next to my office!

The truck is awesome. Love it. Suits my needs perfectly. Tons of payload and towing capacity. Great offroad. Good on road. Built really stout. Has a few quirks that I think add to its character.

Yes, I put the deer in the Gren a deer

My wife doesn’t like the fact that it doesn’t have vanity mirrors in the sun visors.

So you pretty much can't take it to a local garage for troubles? Does Inios have its own dealerships? Or are they part of a bigger brand?

They have their own dealerships. Although, that motor should be easy to work on. Toyota uses it. Parts are available. Everything else seems fairly simple. Then again, I don't own one.

I thought it had a BMW engine

It does. The supra uses the same engine. Very reliable and easy to maintain.

I, too, have drive @Jason Vincent 's Ineos. It's surprisingly fast and responsive. Solid vehicles.

Geez! Can I get in line to drive @jasonvincent Ineos!?

Local garages can read codes but do not have the ability to update service intervals. Ineos is its own company. As @Sean Molina said, the engine is manufactured by BMW. I have gone to the local BMW dealership for oil and air filters.

They started with 19 dealers in the US in 2024. I believe that number is expected to grow to 40 by the end of this year.

That’s literally my wife’s dream everyday driver

My wife drove a Land Rover for years, and it’s a bad idea to have a gas-guzzling SUV as a daily driver. Surprisingly, the Land Rover didn’t cause any issues until 120K miles. After that, problems started almost daily.
I wish I hadn’t leased my EV and had gotten an Ineos instead. Now I’ll wait to get the Ineos truck.

The Toyota of Manhattan is now selling them through their Oyster Bay location (same family owns Toyota of Manhattan and Ineos Oyster Bay, they're Ineos fanatics), and they're eager to move inventory - though they're not selling at the rate initially anticipated.

I test drove one and was genuinely impressed. Smooth, responsive, really well-executed. I seriously considered trading in my Tacoma for one, but ultimately decided against it for a few reasons:

Service & Accessibility - Unless you're close to a certified service center, it can be a hassle. That said, if you're in the NYC area, Toyota of Manhattan runs an efficient operation and they do service them, so that helps.

Long-term Reliability - The engine itself is solid - it uses BMW's B58 3.0-liter inline-six turbo, which is widely considered one of BMW's most reliable modern engines. The bigger question mark is how the vehicle as a whole holds up over time, given it's such a new platform.

If I wasn't fully vested in my truck with only 70k miles on it, I'd have probably traded my Tacoma in for one. But the long-term reliability being unproven was the deciding factor. And, living in the Hudson Valley full time, now, it didn't make sense logistically (for me personally). I'm now more likely to just get a full size truck.

Though... the matte black one they had up there, last time I was in, was fucking awesome.

This one is a beaut!

My kids would love this as well! The neighbors would be like, oh shit here comes the Meads kids again.

I love the look of Ineos vehicles...how many of you have tried them? Thoughts?

Drove in the Field Ethos rig last week and it handled very well. Super quiet interior!
