INEOS GRENADIER QUARTERMASTER PROVES ITS PULLING POWER IN TOWCAR OF THE YEAR AWARDS
- Grenadier Quartermaster hasbeen named Pick-Up Towcar of the Year by the Caravan and Motorhome Club
- Judges praised the Quartermaster for being “unapologetically built for hard work and adventure"
LONDON, 30 September 2026 – The Grenadier Quartermaster has been crowned Pick-Up Towcar of the Year in 2027 Caravan and Motorhome Club awards, once again proving its supreme towing and kit-carrying capability.
The Caravan and Motorhome Club Towcar of the Year awards are the leisure vehicle industry’s original and longest-standing towcar testing awards programme. This year, 42 entrants were put through a rigourous week-long testing regime at the world-class UTAC Millbrook Proving Ground testing facility in Bedfordshire. Vehicles entered must be capable of towing a trailer weighing 750kg or more – the Quartermaster has a maximum braked towing capacity of up to 3,500kg.
The assessment considers the practical aspects of using a vehicle for touring, including boot capacity, towball height, towing information and the ability to accommodate equipment commonly carried on a caravan holiday. Caravans are weighted to 85% of the vehicle’s kerbweight and put through braking and acceleration tests using specialist equipment to measure performance. The Quartermaster took on the highest-weight caravan category, towing more than 2,000kg.
“The INEOS is unapologetically built for hard work and adventure – its large load bed, full-size spare wheel, huge 350kg noseweight allowance and extraordinary roof-load capability underline that point. There's no doubting that if you want a tough pick-up that can tow supremely, the Quartermaster is unmatched."
Towcar of the Year Judges – Camping & Motorhome Club.
“The Caravan and Motorhome Club Awards is the benchmark towing assessment in the leisure industry. Whether carrying kit for family trips or tackling challenging expeditions with a roof-tent, the Quartermaster can be relied upon for life’s best adventures.”
