Put a reservation in on the new Grenadier. US market coming in 2023. Beginning to wonder if it will beat my Bronco. Honestly my interest is starting to wane on the Bronco after a year-and-a half.

This unit looks pretty bad ass! Any dea on pricing?

Sweet lord that thing starts at$85k. I am saving my Pennys to be able to buy a 60k Bronco. Ain’t no way I could swing 85k

Not yet. Rumor has the base around $45-50K.. No idea about options.

I may still buy both. I have reservations on many vehicles, but really it's a 3 way race between the Bronco, GC, and a Rivian Launch Edition. I can buy all 3, but only keep 2 max.

What is a GC? Grand Cherokee?

^^. Yes

I have zero expectation that the GCTH will match up with the Bronco offroad, but then again, I'm not going to be pushing a $60K Bronco to its limits in the rocks anyway.

The GC (and 4xe variant) is new for 2022, and I don't believe any TrailHawks have hit dealers yet. I know that 4xe's haven't yet begun production.

Just an update, my buddy’s trail hawk put up a pretty embarrassing performance last weekend compared to my Bronco. It was fun giving him shit about every obstacle he couldn’t do or wouldn’t do. “Come on, dude, it’s trail rated, you got this.”

It’s pretty depressing watching people go in and place an order and get a Bronco when we reserved in 2020 and ordered in early 2021 and still nothing. I was ok with with a 2022 and ordered a BS BL from Granger to hold me over but it’s pretty annoying.

I understand that it's no match for the Bronco, but it's also much better on streets where I drive 99+% of the time. Regardless, the Jeep order may not go through. After getting the pricing in order and all, the Jeep rep at Granger is asking for a $1K non-refundable deposit after I advised them that I was only going to buy either the JGC or Bronco, for which I've already made a $500 deposit. I'm not putting up another deposit!

Any more progress on an alternative?

I ordered a Model Y Performance on 2/28, and the same config is now $4k more. It won't do off-roading, but it's a badass ride otherwise and I'm confident they'll actually deliver by end of May.

jealous! I am on day 618, and little to no hope on getting anything.
