Americans in the market for rugged, off-road pickup trucks now have a compelling new option to choose from with the local launch of the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster. Priced from $86,900, the new model is based on the regular Grenadier SUV, which the company calls the Station Wagon and has been on sale in America for several years starting at $71,500.

While much of the Quartermaster's design is the same as the standard model, it's now a pickup instead of an SUV. Interestingly, it has a wheelbase that is 305 mm (12 inches) longer than the Station Wagon. Three variants were announced; regular Quartermaster at $86,900, Trailmaster Edition at $94,900, and Fieldmaster Edition at $94,900; All prices exclude destination charges.

Several new components distinguish the Trailmaster Edition and Fieldmaster Edition from the base model. These include the front and rear differential locks on the Trailmaster, as well as the Smooth Pack with rear-view camera, front parking assist, heated side mirrors, heated windshield washer jets and auxiliary charging points.

Additionally, the Fieldmaster features smart speed assist, lane departure warning, automatic emergency braking, and driver drowsiness detection, mirroring the features of the Trailmaster. Perhaps the Fieldmaster's most interesting feature is the two safari windows in the roof. It also has leather trim, a premium audio system, and heated front seats.

One of the reasons for the Grenadier Quartermaster's high cost is that it is produced alongside the Grenadier SUV at Ineos' factory in Hambach, France; this typically subjects it to a 25 percent U.S. tariff.

While the Grenadier Quartermaster is also available with a BMW-sourced 3.0-liter inline-six-cylinder diesel engine in other markets, the only option in the United States is BMW's 3.0-liter inline-six gasoline engine producing 282 hp and 332 lb-ft (450 lb-ft) . Nm) torque. This engine is mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission with manual overdrive function.

The Grenadier Quartermaster has no direct rivals in the U.S. The most off-road-focused pickups in the U.S. include models like the Ford F-150 Raptor and Chevrolet Colorado ZR2, but the Ineos is more expensive than both. It is very similar to the Jeep Gladiator, but it is still positioned as a more premium option. In markets such as Australia, its closest rival will be the Toyota Land Cruiser 70 Series.
