To each their own... I wouldn't spend $96,340.00 for a Dodge Ram 1500 or look at a base price Braptor at $90,035.00. The Grenadier at least has the aura of quality. Granted, within 15 seconds of looking at the first one I saw in person, I focused in on rusty hardware. Insert eye roll emoticon here.
 
Just to clarify.. Ineos themselves said in an instagram post that the $86.9k already included the chicken tax.

The colored nose / door wraps... those were originally planned to be a factory option and were on the first USA vehicles. The colors were selected so Ineos could identify what trucks were in photographs seen on the internet and press photos from the first prototype vehicles.

  • The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster is a pickup truck, so it only makes sense to sell it to Americans.
  • To do that, the automaker is considering opening a manufacturing plant in the U.S. to get around the Chicken Tax.
  • The company is also looking at the future of powertrains, but isn’t convinced by e-fuels and hydrogen. Not yet, anyway

Good article. Based on other successful manufacturers it makes sense for the long run yet the other successful manufacturers have been in the game much longer.
 
Only hope for volume on the Quartermaster is to get the price down by building here, in order to exploit the biggest market in the world for such models.
For now, might make more sense to enclose the Quartermaster like a Suburban and have a station wagon. Same as new Def 130.
Something bigger than the present model? That would be big indeed.

In the finest Land Rover tradition, we have our first special edition
 
Special editions apparently have appeal to some, mostly those who have the need to have something others don't I guess (like a Grenadier isn't that already)..

The division name is so stupid.

I'll be interested in what they come up with. Some of the work they do could get rolled into the standard vehicles as options later on.
