French Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster pickup will be sold in US
2023-11-30
[FOX59] Deliveries of the Ineos Grenadier in the U.S. started in November and soon the rugged SUV will be followed by a pickup truck variant dubbed the the Grenadier Quartermaster.

The Quartermaster was first shown in July, and an Ineos spokesperson in an interview with Automotive News (subscription required) published on Monday said U.S. preorders for the pickup will open in early 2024.

Pricing hasn’t been revealed, but the Quartermaster will likely be more expensive than the Grenadier, which starts at $73,100, including a $1,600 destination charge. That’s because of the so-called chicken tax that slaps a 25% tariff on foreign-made light trucks brought into the U.S.

Production of the Quartermaster takes place at Ineos’ plant in Hambach, France, alongside the Grenadier. Deliveries in Europe are scheduled to start in December. According to Automotive News, a chassis cab version is also planned, including for the U.S. It’s due to start production in 2024.

#3  From Bing Chat:

I found a comparison between the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster and the Jeep Gladiator on MotorTrend 1. According to the article, the Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster is the pickup variant of the all-new 4x4 Grenadier off-roader, which is not based on any existing platform or chassis components from another manufacturer or model 2. The Quartermaster is expected to share the same powertrain as the U.S.-spec Grenadier wagon, which is a 282 hp, 332 lb-ft version of BMW’s B58 3.0-liter turbocharged straight six engine.

#1  So once the US market is proven Stellantis will begin manufacturing in the US and the light truck import tax will no longer apply.

The unit really, really looks like the Jeep Gladiator.
