Ineos Opens Order Books for Grenadier Quartermaster

As the second model released by British brand Ineos Automotive, the Grenadier Quartermaster oozes off-road swagger – even just sitting stationary on a mountaintop.

Starting at $86,900 in America, the pickup shares plenty of architecture and components with the equally boxy Grenadier SUV. However, the truck’s chassis is a foot longer, resulting in an open cargo box measuring just over five feet in length. It has a payload capacity of 1,675 pounds and equals the SUV’s towing prowess which checks in at 7,716 pounds. Like the SUV, it is powered by a 3.0L inline-six sourced from BMW and funnels its power to all four wheels through a ZF eight-speed automatic.


A center differential lock and a two-speed transfer case are fitted as standard, though front and rear diff locks are optional. The truck also rides on the same heavy-duty five-link front and rear suspension as the SUV and is fitted with Carraro-supplied solid beam axles. A total of 10.6 inches of ground clearance gets drivers over the rough stuff; 31.5 inches of wading depth helps out during monsoon season.


Also mirroring the SUV? Trim levels, which show up for duty as Trialmaster and Fieldmaster. Note to all other brands, especially ones stuck on using soulless alphanumerics as model designations: poach whoever’s in charge of naming conventions at Ineos. The interiors of these things are also have a tremendously utilitarian vibe, with chunky switches and plenty of intentionally exposed bolt heads. The only thing which looks out of place is the BMW shifter for the ZF 8-speed.


For those unfamiliar, Ineos Automotive was formed by Jim Ratcliffe in 2017 and the SUV was launched in 2022. This was followed by the crew cab pickup you see here and a smaller Fusilier SUV shown in February 2024.


Deliveries of the Quartermaster are expected to take place before the end of this year.

    It is a shame about the engine selection. It makes me wonder what else about the SUV is made out of hot garbage.

    I think I'll hold off for the Fusilier Aspirant model.

  • ToolGuy I recently purchased 12 ignition coils, but that covered two different vehicles.
  • 2ACL Getting nice car vibes, nonetheless, $29k feels ambitious. It's a decade old and a relatively common spec of a model that's gaining notoriety as repo fodder.
  • ToolGuy A lot of days I skip lunch if I am working.
  • 3-On-The-Tree I like my 2009 C6 Corvette LS3 better. Plus it gets 30 mpg on the highway.
  • El scotto Inside EVs? Like that's not biased not a bit. /s The US government just put a 100% tariff on Chines EV's. Do BYD's or other Chinese EVs even come close to meeting US crash regulations? My money would on an empty Amazon box instead. The car market has imploded. The big three were too greedy and thought everyone wanted top-spec trucks and suvs. Too bad not everyone could afford them. The EV market has imploded in magnitudes greater than the ice market. This is exactly the wrong time to enter the US EV market.In the end, the Chinese will help a lot of lawyers buy boats. The Chinese have no respect and do not recognize intellectual property. The Chinese copy of the Land Rover that was reported that manufacturers should be very afraid of? Naw, if the Chinese try to import that lawyers will be pushing wheelbarrows full of money.Then again, any country that is great at making athletic shoes in not, repeat not known for the quality of their vehicles.Or in five years we could all be ordering our new rides off Temu.
