The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Chassis Cab: A Customization Dream
For anyone who dreams of leaving the pavement for the sort of adventures Land Rovers of yore once survived, the Ineos Grenadier is a bit of a dream, pairing vintage Defender-esque looks with modern mechanicals. Moreover, it fully commits to the bit, with solid axles front and rear and a proper ladder frame underneath the retro body. Its Quartermaster quad cab kin adds a little truck bed to the mix, which is attractive to anyone needing occasional pickup capabilities. Now, there’s a further addition to the lineup that’s sure to get the attention of upfitters, DIYers, and customizers everywhere: a Quartermaster chassis cab.
Exploring the Chassis Cab Features
Instead of the Quartermaster’s bed, the chassis cab comes from the factory with a bare frame behind the rear cabin. The obvious choice would be to bolt up a dropside tray for a rugged commercial look and great utility. This flexible design paves the way for numerous potential custom applications.
Ideal for Custom Builds
The part that should get everyone’s attention is where George Ratcliffe, the company’s Commercial Director, notes that the chassis cab would be “an ideal platform for an overloading camper.” Consequently, without having to work around a conventional bed, an upfitter would have an easier time building out a custom camper, similar to what TruckHouse did recently with a Ram AEV Prospector.
Capable and Rugged Performance
The result would be an exceedingly capable, rugged vehicle that would likely garner a lot of double-takes on the trail. Beyond the bedless back, the chassis cab is virtually a Quartermaster, retaining the same 127-inch wheelbase, chassis, and powertrains as the Quartermaster. Therefore, enthusiasts can expect the same solid performance characteristics, making it an excellent choice for those seeking adventure.
Conclusion
In summary, the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster Chassis Cab represents a remarkable opportunity for customizer enthusiasts to create their dream vehicle. With its rugged design and versatile platform, it invites innovation and creativity in builds that cater to adventure seekers and off-road enthusiasts alike.
