INEOS GRENADIER 2023 - Overview

OVERVIEW
Your Grenadier has certain capacities for carrying cargo. Its Gross
Vehicle Weight Rating is 7,716 lb. (3,500 kg.) . Its curb weight starts
at 5,826 lb. (2,643 kg.) , inclusive of 90% fuel and uids but no
driver (vehicles tted with options and accessories may have a
higher curb weight than this). That means that it can carry up to
1,889 lb. (857 kg.) . That includes all cargo and occupants,
including the driver. Before adding cargo, deduct the weight of the
driver and occupants from the 1,889 pound number rst, then
add no more weight than the remaining capacity. For example, if
the driver weighs 200 pounds and the occupants weigh another
400 pounds , you have 1,289 pounds of cargo capacity remaining
(1,889 – 200 – 400 = 1,289) .
NOTE: You must consider the burden of the trailer in
your cargo calculations. Your Grenadier’s original
equipment trailer hitch can support up to 771 lb. (350
kg.) . Deduct that along with the weight of the driver and
occupants in your calculations of remaining cargo
capacity.
You can carry cargo in three locations on your Grenadier.
Whichever location you use, make sure that:
The cargo is enclosed in a container (e.g., box, bag,
netting) that is sucient
to keep it together in normal
driving and a crash.
The cargo is placed as low as possible in the selected
area.
The cargo is secured to your Grenadier with devices that
are sucient (in terms
of location, number and strength)
to keep it in place during normal driving and a crash.
You check the security of your cargo and its tie-downs
before driving and
that you stop and check it periodically
after starting your journey.
Comply with local laws (some jurisdictions have limits).
Do not store
cargo where it can interfere with the driver(e.g., by
falling or sliding into the footwell, including from under the driver
seat).
You will need to supply your own devices (e.g., straps, rope, cords)
to attach to these. You will also need to supply your own means of
containing the cargo.
During a crash, the eective weight of cargo can increase up to 30
times or more. An object that weighs 10 pounds can have the
eective mass of around 300 pounds . Figure this into your
calculations when selecting your tie-down devices.
Uncontained cargo can come loose in cornering, braking,
accelerating, and crashes. Loose cargo can strike and injure
someone during normal driving. It can distract the driver. In a
crash, it can become a projectile and strike someone.
Never use a seat belt to secure cargo. Seat belts are not designed
for that.
