Built for More · Warner INEOS Grenadier
You were built for more.
Most capable trucks spend their lives proving nothing. Capability unused is capability wasted — parked, polished, waiting. The women who run the Rebelle bought the same Grenadier you are looking at and drove it somewhere you would expect to break it. It did not. The truck held up its end. Will you? Warner is ready when you are.

Finishes
The Rebelle Rally
The gap is smaller than you want it to be.
You do not have to do this for a living to finish it.
Eight days across the desert Southwest. No GPS, no phones, no chase truck, no outside help. Teams of two women navigate by map, compass, and roadbook to checkpoints scored on precision instead of speed. Arriving first counts for nothing. Arriving exactly counts for everything.
Amy Milyard ran her first rally in 2025, an Army veteran with no off-road record behind her. Susan Pieper has run five. Michelle Kerby and Sabrina Howells came back for a fifth year together. None of them drives for a living. They took the time off, found a navigator, and went.
The rally rewards judgment, patience, and the willingness to be wrong in public and fix it before the next checkpoint. You already have all three. Most people spend a career using them where nobody can see it.
What it costs: eight days away, a navigator who trains with you, real money, and a truck that comes home ready for a little support of its own. You will be lost on day one, in front of people, and you will have to keep driving anyway.
Built for more is a claim. Eight days in the desert is where anyone can go check it.
The film
Watch the eight days.
Competitors run with no chase truck and no mechanic. Whatever breaks between checkpoints gets fixed by the two women in the vehicle, which is most of what you are watching.

Origins & Why
Why buy it here.
The last dealer you bought from got what they needed from you the day you signed.
The reason is arithmetic. A multi-brand store always has another brand to sell you. The truck disappoints you, they walk you across the lot, and they keep your business either way. Warner carries one franchise. There is no across the lot. Warner needs you to still want this truck in year five, which means Warner needs you to use it. That is the long haul — and it starts the day you sign.
That changes what happens in the shop. The work goes beyond the standard the job requires, because the higher standard removes error before it reaches the driver and gives the owner a better experience of the truck. A rally vehicle and a truck in for its first service get the same bench.
Mid-rally in 2025, on a marathon night — the night teams camp alone, far from base camp — a rock took out a windshield on a team Warner supported without sponsoring. Nobody owed that team anything. Operating under the direction of Rebelle officials, Todd Kunkel and Tony Warner loaded glass and cold-weather epoxy, drove two states overnight, and fitted it by hand at camp — the sole source of the parts and the know-how, because the vehicle was that new. The team made the next start.
You will never need a windshield at 4 a.m. in the desert. What that story tells you is who picks up when you call about something smaller.
The case against a single-franchise store holds up. One location, one service department, and no second brand to put you in while yours sits on a lift. A metro dealer group beats that on convenience every time and it is not close. What a dealer group cannot copy is the incentive, because it has somewhere else to send you and Warner does not.

Learn it
Train with the Utah Grenadier Owners Club, with Warner as premier sponsor. In July 2026 the club ran its first Women's Off-Road Training Weekend — two sold-out days at Wasatch Mountain State Park, instruction led by BB4WA's Bill Burke and a team of experienced women drivers, ten trucks, every experience level, covering vehicle systems, hill work, tire placement, spotting, and recovery. More training is planned; venues, dates, and instructors will vary. Tell us you're interested and you'll hear first.

2026 Season
You prove yourself to yourself.
Rebelle 2026 runs October 7 through 17, with tech inspection in Las Vegas and the Route 66 centennial folded into the course. Warner runs Helga into her third year with a first-year crew: Racine Warner driving and Diane Walsh navigating. Racine is a nurse; Diane went to medical school; both hold degrees from the University of Utah — the flag on the whip is theirs. Kristi Reed entered on her own with Katheryn Basso beside her. Same standard, whether the truck carries the Warner name or not.
“When these women cross the finish line, they know who they are. Not because the rally gave them identity, but because it uncovered it.”Tony Warner
October 7–17, follow it live.
The rally publishes real-time tracking, daily scoring, and a nightly webcast. During rally week, this is where you watch Teams 128 and 121 work — every checkpoint, every standing, straight from the official source.
2025 Season
Four teams. One podium.
3RD
Team 128 · First INEOS Grenadier on a Rebelle podium
In 2025 Warner sponsored two teams and supported two more, every truck prepped in West Valley City. Eight women drove. Team 128 reached the podium. Most of them already owned their Grenadier before the start line, which is the point. Performance rooted in ownership becomes identity.
2024 Season
Where Helga started.
Helga ran her first Rebelle in 2024 in the navy and red livery, with Susan Pieper and Elise Young in the crew. A second Grenadier ran that year too — Team 170, Grit Chicks, Chrissy and Peyton Siville, a mother and daughter in their own truck. They entered on their own and finished. After they crossed the line, Warner pulled a driveline from its own spares and installed it at the event, so the truck that finished the rally could also finish the drive home. Nobody published it. The support program existed before it had a name. Susan and Elise brought her home eighth — a top-ten finish in the program's first year.
Run With Warner
Showing up, competing, completing.
Warner fields one works team and supports everyone else. You enter the Rebelle yourself, in your own Grenadier or Quartermaster, from anywhere in the country. Warner offsets the entry, the prep, and the parts.
The costs are the ones you already read: the days, the training partner, the truck's turn for support afterward. Warner carries the expense that stops most people. The rest is time you have to decide to spend.
Support comes in many forms, and every entry is reviewed on its own. The program can change year to year — Warner reserves the right to modify it. One thing is fixed: direct dollars require showing up at the actual start line and crossing the actual finish line of the event. Circumstances beyond your control during the rally may still merit our support. A disqualification earned through competitor error or poor judgment ends it.

Works team
One vehicle, prepped and campaigned by Warner. Helga carries the lineage and doubles as the development platform every other truck learns from.
Satellite teams
Four to five owner entries. You enter, you compete, and the truck stays yours. Warner supports the run without taking it over.

The bench
The truck starts because someone made it start.
The benchHelga with Todd Kunkel, West Valley
City.
Todd Kunkel
Todd Kunkel leads the prep on every Grenadier Warner runs. He paints bolts for reference, logs torque specs, and color-codes tools so the right one finds the hand under pressure. He competes himself, which is why the prep anticipates what actually breaks at mile 900. And he is not alone: parts pulls what the build will need before anyone asks, technicians take their pieces of the project, and the rest of the building backs whoever has their hands on the truck.
The windshield night — told in full above — was the bench leaving the building: the right glass, the right adhesive for a cold desert night, loaded and rolling within the hour, because the shop already knew this vehicle to the bolt.
No one required that drive. Warner made it because a team it supported needed it. Todd runs the 2026 rally with the Rebelle mechanics — invited onto the crew that serves every team in the field.
Supporting Vendors
Who stands behind the trucks.
A rally vehicle is a stack of decisions made by people who will never see the course. Much of what was supplied for Helga's first build in 2024 is still on the truck in 2026 — the parts came back because they held. Sponsorship itself is settled season by season; this year's commitments are not a copy of the packages that ran with the veteran crews, and several backers, new and returning, stand specifically behind the satellite teams.

Why Grenadier
Built to be used up and put back together.
Most trucks in this class are designed to feel capable. The Grenadier was engineered around work instead of around a driveway. Solid axles, a ladder frame, a transfer case you shift yourself. Take it somewhere difficult and it stops behaving like a purchase and starts behaving like equipment.
It asks more of you than most trucks at this price. You work the transfer case yourself and nothing on the dash guesses what you meant. That is the reason to drive one instead of reading about one.
Helga is the clearest evidence. Same vehicle, three consecutive Rebelles, prepped by the same hands. A truck that goes back is a truck that came home.

FAQs
What people ask first.
Is the Rebelle women-only?
Yes. The Rebelle Rally is the first women's off-road navigation rally raid in the United States — every team is two women. The community around it is for everyone: families are welcome at tech inspection, the start line, and the finish.
Do I have to buy a truck from Warner to get support?
No. Satellite support is open to Grenadier and Quartermaster owners nationally. Warner supports the run rather than the transaction.
Does Warner enter me, or do I enter myself?
You enter yourself. One works team; four to five supported owner entries alongside it. Your name goes on the entry and the truck stays yours.
Do I need off-road experience?
No. The owners club's sold-out women's training weekend welcomed every experience level, first-timers included, and more training is planned. Rookies have finished this rally on Warner-supported teams; the program exists to get you ready.
Who preps the vehicle?
Todd Kunkel leads it, in West Valley City, with Warner's parts counter and technicians behind him. He competes himself.
When does the 2026 rally run?
October 7–17, 2026. Tech inspection runs in Las Vegas before the start, and the course marks the Route 66 centennial.
How do I form a team?
A team is two women and one vehicle — you may drive or navigate, and the rulebook even lets you swap roles mid-rally. Come with a partner or come alone: we are happy to make introductions — to Rebelle veterans, to interested rookies, and to your third team member, an INEOS Grenadier or Quartermaster with a name of its own.
