Ineos?

[Dave Eder]

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

I've driven @Jason Vincent's and loved it. Compared to my Defender, it was quieter and more comfortable.

I looked into them quite a bit and cannot make sense of one until service, parts, and repair information are available to the owner without returning to the dealer. Part of that is the fact that I am 2 hours away from the nearest dealer, but I also cannot imagine owning a vehicle of that design and use type without an open source ability to modify and repair. In my probably stupid opinion, they would do well to make it the most repairable and open source vehicle out there for enthusiasts like us who want to be able to perform repairs on whatever crazy adventure we find ourselves in. As far as I understand that is not currently the case.

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.

I'm actually actively shopping for a new truck as we speak. I will no doubt just get another F-150 I'm sure. But every time I run across this camo colorway on the Ineos, I nearly go buy it. Pretty rad.

i hadnt seen that one....i really like that too

There's a lot locally here in Vancouver.

Tried to test drive one tha ended up for good price at another dodge dealer on trade in.

Issue I hear is a lot of high end clients buying them as luxury and quickly realize they are a serious vehicle with off road capability. Not like them buying a gwagon.

Used are around 70-80k cad. New north of that.

Every time I get the itch, I think about going on 2 African safaris vs buying one. And I'd perfer that lol

See if you can get Kuiu to put a wrap together for you

I love the looks (and idea) of them. I rented one in Montana for a week to scratch the itch.

 

[Charlie Benton]

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

That came pretty well equipped for a rental! Awesome.

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.

Who’d you rent through?

Is the steering bad? Heard a few complaints.

Is the steering bad? Heard a few complaints.

IMHO, steering is a non issue. I think this is debated by those who don’t have much seat time or those who want it to be something else. It steers great for what it is - a double solid axle truck. It does not steer as well as a modern IFS truck with rack and pinion steering on pavement. Off road, the recirculating ball steering system is its strength. Having the correct tire pressure for highway driving helped me a lot. Although I haven’t changed mine I know of others who report better steering after changing the steering stabilizer to one of the several after market ones available. Parallel parking is a breeze. A lot of chirping about the lack of return to center. Again, I think it’s a non issue.

Thanks, dude. I'll probably rent one at some point. Hopefully they release one with a third row at some point.

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

Excursions are bad ass. What motor?
