Compare the2025 Ford RangerVS 2025 INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster

For enhanced safety, the front and rear seat shoulder belts of the Ford Ranger have pretensioners to tighten the seatbelts and eliminate dangerous slack in the event of a collision and force limiters to limit the pressure the belts will exert on the passengers. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer pretensioners for its rear seat belts.

For enhanced safety, the front seat shoulder belts of the Ford Ranger are height-adjustable to accommodate a wide variety of driver and passenger heights. A better fit can prevent injuries and the increased comfort also encourages passengers to buckle up. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer height-adjustable seat belts.

In the past twenty years hundreds of infants and young children have died after being left in vehicles, usually by accident. When turning the vehicle off, drivers of the Ranger are reminded to check the back seat if they opened the rear door before starting out. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a back seat reminder.

The Ranger has standard Post Collision Braking, which automatically apply the brakes in the event of a crash to help prevent secondary collisions and prevent further injuries. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a post collision braking system: in the event of a collision that triggers the airbags, more collisions are possible without the protection of airbags that may have already deployed.

Over 200 people are killed each year when backed over by motor vehicles. The Ranger offers an optional Reverse Brake Assist that uses rear sensors to monitor for objects to the rear and automatically applies the brakes to prevent a collision. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer backup collision prevention brakes.

The Ranger (except XL) offers an optional 360-Degree Camera to allow the driver to see objects all around the vehicle on a screen. The Grenadier Quartermaster only offers a rear monitor and front and rear parking sensors that beep or flash a light. That doesn’t help with obstacles to the sides.

The Ranger’s optional blind spot warning system uses sensors to alert the driver to objects in the vehicle’s blind spots where the side view mirrors don’t reveal them and moves the vehicle back into its lane. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a system to reveal objects in the driver’s blind spots.

To help make backing out of a parking space safer, the Ranger’s optional Cross Traffic Alert uses sensors in the rear to alert the driver to vehicles approaching from the side, helping the driver avoid collisions. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear cross-path warning system.

Both the Ranger and the Grenadier Quartermaster have standard driver and passenger frontal airbags, front side-impact airbags, side-impact head airbags, plastic fuel tanks, four-wheel antilock brakes, traction control, electronic stability systems to prevent skidding, crash mitigating brakes, daytime running lights, lane departure warning systems, rearview cameras, available four-wheel drive and driver alert monitors.

There are almost 95 times as many Ford dealers as there are INEOS dealers, which makes it much easier should you ever need service under the Ranger’s warranty.

The Grenadier Quartermaster’s redline is at 7000 RPM, which causes more engine wear, and a greater chance of a catastrophic engine failure. The Ranger has a 5750 to 6000 RPM redline.

The Ranger has a standard “limp home system” to keep drivers from being stranded if most or all of the engine’s coolant is lost. The engine will run on only half of its cylinders at a time, reduce its power and light a warning lamp on the dashboard so the driver can get to a service station for repairs. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a lost coolant limp home mode, so a coolant leak could strand you or seriously damage the truck’s engine.

The Ranger’s optional 2.7 turbo V6 produces 33 more horsepower (315 vs. 282) and 68 lbs.-ft. more torque (400 vs. 332) than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s 3.0 turbo 6-cylinder.

On the EPA test cycle the Ranger gets better mileage than the Grenadier Quartermaster:

			MPG
Ranger
	RWD	2.3 turbo 4-cyl.	21 city/26 hwy
	AWD	2.3 turbo 4-cyl.	19 city/26 hwy
		2.7 turbo V6	19 city/23 hwy
Grenadier Quartermaster
	AWD	3.0 turbo 6-cyl.	14 city/14 hwy

To lower fuel costs and make buying fuel easier, the Ford Ranger uses regular unleaded gasoline (premium recommended for maximum performance). The Grenadier Quartermaster requires premium, which can cost on average about 84.9 cents more per gallon.

The Ranger has a standard cap-less fueling system. The fuel filler is automatically opened when the fuel nozzle is inserted and automatically closed when it’s removed. This eliminates the need to unscrew and replace the cap and it reduces fuel evaporation, which causes pollution. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a cap-less fueling system or a tether to prevent losing the cap.

A 10-speed automatic is standard on the Ford Ranger, for better acceleration and lower engine speed on the highway. Only an eight-speed automatic is available for the Grenadier Quartermaster.

The Ranger’s standard front and rear disc brakes are vented to help dissipate heat for shorter stops with less fading. The rear discs on the Grenadier Quartermaster are solid, not vented.

The Ranger Lariat’s tires provide better handling because they have a lower 65 series profile (height to width ratio) that provides a stiffer sidewall than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s 70 series tires.

The Ford Ranger’s independent front suspension is much lighter than the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster’s solid front axle, which allows the Ranger’s wheels to react more quickly and accurately to the road’s surface, improving both ride and handling.

For much better steering response and tighter handling the Ranger has rack and pinion steering, like Formula racecars, instead of the recirculating-ball type steering of the Grenadier Quartermaster.

For a smoother ride and more stable handling, the Ranger’s wheelbase is 1.7 inches longer than on the Grenadier Quartermaster (128.7 inches vs. 127 inches).

For better maneuverability, the Ranger’s turning circle is 5.1 feet tighter than the Grenadier Quartermaster’s (42.5 feet vs. 47.6 feet).

The Ford Ranger may be more efficient, handle and accelerate better because it weighs about 1100 to 1600 pounds less than the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster.

For excellent aerodynamics, the Ranger has standard flush composite headlights. The Grenadier Quartermaster has recessed headlights that spoil its aerodynamic shape and create extra drag.

The Ranger has 1.6 inches more front headroom, 3.9 inches more front legroom and 4.2 inches more rear legroom than the Grenadier Quartermaster.

The Ranger has a much larger cargo box than the Grenadier Quartermaster shortbed (43.5 vs. 42.3 cubic feet).

The Grenadier Quartermaster’s spare tire is stored in the cargo area, where it diminishes the useable cargo capacity and interferes with loading and unloading. The Ranger’s spare is out of the way underneath.

A low lift-over bed design makes loading and unloading the Ranger easier. The Ranger’s bed lift-over height is 34 inches, while the Grenadier Quartermaster’s liftover is 35.6 inches.

The Ford Ranger has a standard tailgate assist feature, which prevents the heavy tailgate from falling with a crash and causing injury. It allows adults and children to easily open and close the tailgate with one hand to better facilitate loading and unloading. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a tailgate assist.

The Ford Ranger offers an optional Integrated Box Side Step, which allows for much easier access to the cargo area. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear cargo step.

An Extended Service Interval Monitor is standard on the Ranger to save the owner time and money by calculating maintenance intervals for oil changes and air filter replacement based on actual driving conditions. This takes the guesswork out of keeping your vehicle in top condition and helps it last longer. INEOS doesn’t offer a maintenance reminder on the Grenadier Quartermaster.

The Ranger XLT/Lariat has a standard remote vehicle starting system, so the vehicle can be started from inside the driver's house. This allows the driver to comfortably warm up the engine before going out to the vehicle. The climate system will also automatically heat or cool the interior. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a remote starting system.

When three different drivers share the Ranger Lariat, the memory seats make it convenient for all three. Each setting activates different, customized memories for the driver’s seat position. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer memory seats.

The Ranger Lariat’s standard easy entry system glides the driver’s seat back when the door is unlocked or the ignition is switched off, making it easier for the driver to get in and out. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an easy entry system.

The Ranger’s instruments include an oil pressure gauge and a temperature gauge - which could save your engine! Often ‘idiot lights’ don’t warn you until damage has been done. The Grenadier Quartermaster does not have an oil pressure gauge.

The Ranger’s power parking brake sets with one touch and releases with one touch or automatically. The Grenadier Quartermaster has a lever-type parking brake that has to be strenuously raised to engage properly. It has to be lifted up more and a button depressed to release it.

The Ranger’s standard power windows have a locking feature to keep children in the rear seat from operating them. INEOS does not offer a locking feature on the Grenadier Quartermaster’s standard power windows.

The Ranger’s front power windows open or close with one touch of the switches, making it more convenient at drive-up windows and toll booths, or when talking with someone outside of the car. The Grenadier Quartermaster’s power windows’ switches have to be held the entire time to close them fully.

In case you lock your keys in your vehicle, or don’t have them with you, you can let yourself in using the Ranger’s available exterior PIN entry system. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an exterior PIN entry system.

Intelligent Access standard on the Ranger Lariat allows you to unlock the doors from either front door handle and start the engine, all without removing the key from the pocket or purse. The INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an advanced key system.

The Ranger Lariat’s standard wipers adjust their speed and turn on and off automatically according to the amount of rainfall on the windshield. The Grenadier Quartermaster’s manually variable intermittent wipers have to be constantly adjusted.

While driving with high beams on, sensitive light sensors standard on the Ranger detect other vehicles which could be blinded and automatically switch to low beams. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer automatic dimming high beams.

The Ranger XLT/Lariat’s standard rear view mirror has an automatic dimming feature. This mirror can be set to automatically darken quickly when headlights shine on it, keeping following vehicles from blinding or distracting the driver. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer the luxury of an automatic dimming rear view mirror.

Both the Ford Ranger and INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster offer exterior mirrors that can be folded to provide convenience. The Ranger offers available power folding mirrors, which allow for easy, one-touch folding or unfolding at the driver’s discretion. This provides added convenience when maneuvering or parking, as well as when walking past the parked vehicle. In comparison, the Grenadier Quartermaster’s foldable mirrors are manual, requiring the driver to get out and physically fold them once parked and unfold them before getting in.

On extremely cold winter days, the Ranger Lariat’s standard heated steering wheel provides comfort, allowing the driver to steer safely and comfortably before the vehicle heater warms up. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a heated steering wheel.

The Ranger has a standard center folding armrest for the rear passengers. A center armrest helps make rear passengers more comfortable and it can provide a boundary between children. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a rear seat center armrest.

The Ranger (except XL)’s optional dual zone air conditioning allows the driver and front passenger to choose two completely different temperatures so people with different temperature preferences won’t have to compromise. This makes both the driver and front passenger as comfortable as possible. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer dual zone air conditioning.

To keep a safe, consistent following distance, the Ranger (except XL) offers an optional Adaptive Cruise Control, which alters the speed of the vehicle without driver intervention. This allows the driver to use cruise control more safely without constantly having to disengage it when approaching slower traffic. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an adaptive cruise control.

Compared to the INEOS Grenadier Quartermaster, the Ford Ranger Lariat eliminates the need for separate garage door openers and associated risks of losing, breaking, or having dead batteries with its standard integrated Homelink® universal remote controlled from the driver’s visor.

To quickly and conveniently keep personal devices charged without cables tangling and wearing out, the Ford Ranger XLT/Lariat has a standard wireless phone charging system (Qi) in the front center console. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer wireless personal charging.

The Ranger (except XL)’s optional Enhanced Active Park Assist can parallel park or back into a parking spot by itself, with the driver only controlling the transmission and speed with the brake pedal. With its available fully controlled system, the driver just activates it and it parks autonomously, starting, stopping and changing direction automatically. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer an automated parking system.

The Ranger is available in both rear-wheel drive and four-wheel drive configurations. The Grenadier Quartermaster doesn’t offer a two-wheel drive configuration.

A group of representative automotive journalists from North America selected the Ranger as the 2025 North American Truck of the Year. The Grenadier Quartermaster has never been chosen.

The Ford Ranger outsold the INEOS Grenadier by almost six to one during 2024.
