Using the same extended chassis developed for the Quartermaster, the chassis cab variant is designed to raise the bar in regard to off-road performance and load carrying versatility, whilst delivering the safety and comfort we expect.

George Ratcliffe, Commercial Director, comments: “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. So, launching the Quartermaster Chassis Cab is a natural step that takes our off-road expertise into many commercial areas that need a class leading 4X4.”

Sharing the Quartermaster’s 3227 mm wheelbase – which is 305 mm longer than that of the Grenadier Station Wagon – the Chassis Cab features an exposed ladder frame behind the passenger compartment. Together with the 3.500 kg towing capacity, this platform lends itself perfectly to a large variety of applications including emergency services and expedition travel.

The Chassis Cab draws upon the same interior layout, full box-section ladder frame chassis, heavy-duty solid beam axles, two-speed transfer case, and up to three locking differentials as the Quartermaster. Power comes from a choice of BMW 3.0-litre turbo-charged inline six-cylinder petrol or diesel engines, driving all four wheels through an eight-speed automatic transmission from ZF.

“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. 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,” adds Ratcliffe.
