It's bad down here in PE as well. For some reason, they all want to try and dice me from the robots as well.

If it drives like a twat, the chances are good it's a Ranger or a Polo.

So get this - I am driving a Ranger bought from a dealership in Limpopo (still have L plates on while the dealer is taking his sweet time with the licence disc and new plates), while living in Centurion. I rate Limpopo drivers as the worst in the country. Imagine the judgment I'm getting on the road...

The Ineos Grenadier Quartermaster can easily fit a standard Euro pallet in its long tail

Ineos’s Defender-pretender gets a new double-cab pickup iteration. Can carry lots of things

Interested in the new, old-looking Ineos Grenadier but worried that it won’t carry your many, many belongings? Well, this will be music to your ears, because the Grenadier now also comes as a pickup truck.

Yep, called the Grenadier Quartermaster, it’s much the same story as with the original ‘Station Wagon’ version – i.e. it was designed with a ruler for maximum practicality and uses BMW powertrains underneath.

But let’s start with the bit that’s different. Out the back of the Quartermaster you get a load bay that’s 1,564mm long and 1,619mm wide. Very precise. That means it’s big enough to carry a standard 1,200mm x 800mm Euro pallet with plenty of room to spare. You get a payload of 760kg back there too, as well as the same 3,500kg towing capacity as the Station Wagon. Oh, and the drop-down tailgate can support up to 225kg when open, so it should make a nice little picnic bench.

Ineos says that the Quartermaster “delivers the same uncompromising off-road capability and dependability as its stablemate.” So, you get a longer wheelbase, 264mm of ground clearance, an 800mm wading depth and “approach, breakover and departure angles unrivalled by any other series production pickup". We’ll take their word for it for now.

I cannot imagine the amount of abuse you have received.

You need a sangoma visit to rid yourself of all that voodoo

Looks pretty cool - any interior pics?
 
Update - Just came back from Outdoor Warehouse where I got one of these jobbies for the canopy interior.

Living it large! The previous gen ranger had an integrated cargo are light in the high level brake light. The current one has a high level brake light right below the handle on the tailgate (an improvement, since sports bars and canopies rendered the old one impractical).
