Ineos Quartermaster: payload, towing and specs

14 variants in our database, from $105,000 to $122,000 list.

The Ineos Quartermaster is a five-seat dual ute, from $105,000 to $122,000 list, rated to tow up to 3,500kg. It offers a six-cylinder, which is a rarity in a class of fours. Readers weighing it up usually also look at the Toyota LandCruiser 70, Ford Ranger Super Duty and Volkswagen Amarok. Ineos is a newcomer to vehicle building, and the Quartermaster uses BMW-sourced engines. Its payload and towing push it past the usual dual-cab class and into territory shared with the Ford F-150, Toyota Tundra, RAM 1500 and Chevrolet Silverado 1500.

What each variant can actually carry

Worked out for a typical touring load: two people, 150kg of gear and 150kg of accessories. “Spare payload” is what is left after that. “Max trailer” is the heaviest trailer that load still allows, which is usually well under the headline towing rating because GCM and towball weight both take their cut.

What’s left to carry as the trailer gets heavier

For the Cab Chassis Fieldmaster Diesel. Payload left for people, gear and accessories once the towball has taken its 10 per cent of the trailer’s ATM.

0 250 500 750 1,000 832kg unhitched 482kg at 3,500kg 0 875 1,750 2,625 3,500 Trailer weight, ATM (kg) Payload left (kg)
GVM is the binding limit the whole way to this vehicle’s towing rating, so payload falls only by the weight on the towball.

Fuel and touring range

The official ADR 81/02 figure is measured unladen, at low speed, on smooth tarmac. We lift consumption by 40 per cent to allow for the weight, the all-terrains, the bar and the dirt, then divide what is usable in the tank by that — leaving 5 litres in it, because planning to run a tank dry is how you end up walking. Where we have measured a vehicle ourselves we use our own figure instead. A plug-in hybrid’s claim assumes a full battery, which is gone within the first hour of a long drive, so it gets multiplied by five rather than 1.4.

Can it clear the gaps?

Against the longest stretch between fuel on each leg, using the Cab Chassis Fieldmaster Diesel’s touring range of 578km — which already allows for a loaded 4WD and leaves 5 litres in the tank. Carrying fuel changes everything below; so does a headwind, soft sand and a heavy right foot.
