The Goodwood Festival of Speed has become a major arena for sports car debuts in recent years, but the British company Ineos Automotive brought here a «non-format» car for this event — a Grenadier Quartermaster frame pickup truck, designed for hard work and travel in extreme conditions.
Ineos Grenadier, known as the unofficial reincarnation of the classic, frame Land Rover Defender, was originally conceived in two body versions — a standard 5-door station wagon (aka a commercial van) and a pickup truck with a two-row cab. The Grenadier station wagon entered the market last spring, and today the Grenadier Quartermaster pickup debuted and went on sale. The production pickup truck is noticeably different from the prototype, the images of which were published three years ago: the rear doors are now cut from the bottom instead of straight, the perimeter of the connector between the cab and the body has changed, the design of the stern is completely new, the rear overhang has become slightly longer.

The load capacity of the pickup truck is 760 kg for the diesel version and 835 kg for the gasoline version, the curb weight is 2740 kg and 2665 kg, respectively. The permissible weight of the towed trailer is 3.5 tons. The tailgate can withstand loads up to 225 kg, a 400 W socket is installed in the body. A host of accessories are available for the cab body and roof, including load tie downs, roll bar, canvas kung and expedition carrier.
