Ineos Automotive has launched a double-cab chassis variant of its Grenadier Quartermaster, with pricing in Australia to begin at $102,000 before on-road costs.
The five-seater is aimed at conversion specialists and has been developed alongside the Quartermaster pick-up revealed in 2023.
However, unlike the pick-up, the double cab-chassis variant features an exposed ladder frame behind the cabin as a blank canvas for both commercial and leisure aftermarket conversions.
"In the first year since the Grenadier launched, we have already seen a number of specialist conversions, particularly with emergency services such as fire, police and inshore rescue," said George Ratcliffe, commercial director, Ineos Automotive.
"Launching the Quartermaster Chassis Cab is a natural step to take our off-road expertise into many commercial areas that need a class-leading 4x4.”
"The Grenadier's body-on-frame construction already provides huge versatility for customisation, and we know from customer configurations that our vehicles are being used equally between commercial and leisure users,” Ratcliffe added. “The 'blank canvas' Chassis Cab variant allows even greater versatility, from the basic trayback for agricultural use through recovery and emergency services to tourism, presenting an ideal platform for an overlanding camper."

Just like the Grenadier and Quartermaster pick-up variants, the Chassis Cab will utilise BMW-sourced petrol (210kW/450Nm) and diesel (183kW/550Nm) six-cylinder engines, both mated to an eight-speed automatic transmission.
The Chassis Cab features a 3227mm wheelbase, the same as the Quartermaster pick-up but 305mm longer than the Grenadier wagon. The vehicle retains a maximum towing capacity of 3500kg, but payload capacities are yet to be released.
