Order books for the new Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster have officially opened in South Africa! Here’s local pricing for SA’s most expensive new double-cab bakkie…

You’re looking at South Africa’s new most expensive double-cab bakkie. Yes, order books for the recently revealed Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster have officially opened, though it’s not yet clear when the first units will arrive.

So, what sort of pricing are we looking at here? Well, the base Quartermaster kicks off at R1 717100, with the Trialmaster Edition and Fieldmaster Edition each starting at R1 862100. For the record, that means the Quartermaster takes over from the Jeep Gladiator (R1 329900) as the country’s priciest bakkie. Interestingly, pricing matches that of the closely related Grenadier Station Wagon.

The base Grenadier Quartermaster.

As a reminder, engines are sourced from BMW, with customers offered a turbocharged 3.0-litre inline-6 in either petrol or diesel flavour, with a ZF-sourced 8-speed automatic transmission standard in each case. The petrol mill makes 210 kW and 450 Nm, while the oil-burner offers 183 kW and 550 Nm. Pricing is the same regardless of which engine is specified.

The Quartermaster’s off-road claims are impressive, with 264 mm of ground clearance; 800 mm wading depth; and approach, departure and breakover angles (36.2, 22.6 and 26.2 degrees, respectively) that British brand claims are “unrivalled by any other series pick-up”. A centre differential lock and a 2-speed transfer case are fitted as standard.

The Trialmaster Edition.

While the Quartermaster is mechanically identical to the Grenadier Station Wagon, the chassis is some 305 mm longer. The load-bay measures 1 564 mm long and 1 619 mm wide, which is enough to handle a standard Euro pallet. The payload rating comes in at 760 kg and the braked towing capacity at 3 500 kg.

The base Quartermaster ships standard with items such as a centre differential lock, a 2-speed transfer case, LED headlamps, LED auxiliary high-beam lights, an overhead control panel, a full-size spare wheel, Pathfinder off-road navigation, Recaro seats, roof rails and towing eyes (front and rear).

The Fieldmaster Edition.

The Trialmaster grade adds features such as a snorkel, a load-bay liner, cargo-bay utility rails, an auxiliary battery, a “high-load” auxiliary switch panel (and electrical preparation), a compass (with altimeter), differential locks (fore and aft), BFGoodrich All-Terrain KO2 tyres, a reversing camera, front parking sensors, powered (and heated) exterior mirrors, heated windscreen washer jets, a lockable central stowage box, puddle lamps and auxiliary charge points.

Finally, the Fieldmaster gains 18-inch alloy wheels (as opposed to 17-inch steelies), locking wheel nuts, safari-style windows (which pop up out of the roof), leather trim (with a choice of colours), a “premium” sound system, heated front seats and special “carpet” floor mats.

Of course, various options and accessories are available, from a bull bar (R28650) and rock sliders (R20200) to an integrated heavy-duty front winch (R68455) and a roller-style tonneau cover (R47050), plus many more. You can find the local Quartermaster configurator here…
