Order books for the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Pickup are actually open. The bedded model of the Grenadier “station wagon” SUV is produced on the firm's plant in Hambach, France, which suggests it has to pay a 25% hen tax to keep away from customs officers right here. So, whereas the Grenadier wagon begins at $71,500, the Quartermaster begins at $86,900 – a 21.6% premium over the wagon. Following an already established template, the Quartermaster is available in a Trialmaster version and a Fieldmaster version, each including $8,000 to the worth, beginning at $94,900. These costs don’t embrace vacation spot cost.
The pickup sits on a wheelbase and body that's a foot longer than the wagon's, creating balanced area for a mattress that's 61.5 inches lengthy and 63.7 inches broad. The scale are a bit deceptive, seeing because the spare tire is mounted within the mattress. Payload capability is 1,675 kilos, with the tow ranking being the identical because the wagon's 7,716 kilos. Ineos says the tailgate can maintain as much as 500 kilos when open, which is a big consolation when loading and unloading. A set of tube rails sits above the mattress rails and a utility rail is put in on the mattress flooring, however quick-release tie-down rings are an $80 choice. The choices checklist additionally provides a canvas cover for $2,156 that covers the whole mattress, though this implies the outer tube rails are omitted. We're advised there's a lockable curler tonneau cowl within the equipment catalog, but it surely hasn't but appeared on the configurator.
The one drivetrain choice within the US and Canada is a BMW-sourced gas-powered 3.0-litre inline-six shifted via an eight-speed ZF automated transmission, with our market lacking the six-cylinder turbodiesel. A two-speed switch case and locking middle differential come normal, patrons who count on to deal with rock gardens and dust can go for locking entrance and rear differentials.
Ineos claims the Grenadier Quartermaster boasts “method, breakover and departure angles which might be unmatched by every other collection manufacturing pick-up”, however the firm has not but uploaded these specs to its US web site. Elsewhere, the spec sheet exhibits 10.3 inches of floor clearance and 31.5 inches of wading depth.
Supply is anticipated earlier than the tip of the yr.
