Ineos, a UK-based carmaker famous for its classic Land Rover Defender clone called the Grenadier, has complemented its portfolio with a pickup truck version of the vehicle, named Quartermaster.
The truck is 305 mm (12 inches) longer than its SUV counterpart. The bed is 1,564 mm (61.1 inches) long and 1,619 mm (63.2 inches) wide, so that it comfortably fits a Euro-pallet. The rated capacity is 760 kilos, or 1,675 pounds, and the tailgate can withstand a pressure of up to 225 kilos (495 pounds).
Robust axles, 264 mm (10.3 inches) of ground clearance, transfer case and interaxle diff lock included in the base spec enable the manufacturer to claim that the Grenadier Quartermaster is a leader in its class when it comes to driving on challenging terrain. Front and rear diff locks are optional.
For the engine, you can choose between two BMW six-pots. The diesel one makes 249 PS (246 hp / 183 kW) and 550 Nm (406 lb-ft) of torque. The petrol one manages 286 PS (283 hp / 210 kW) and 450 Nm (332 lb-ft) of torque. Both use the same eight-speed automatic transmission. The petrol version manages to accelerate 0-100 km/h (0-62 mph) in 8.8 seconds and the diesel lags 1 second behind. Both are capped at 160 mph (99 mph).
Ineos is already offering an option pack for the truck supposed to improve its already impressive overlanding capabilities and make it better suited to specific tasks.
