Mercedez-Benz Pickup?

[phabejhmoob]

I just saw this on cnn money news and was wondering if anyone would buy this

Thoughts?

 

Nvm, it's not sold in the US. For good reasons I guess.

Except everywhere else, a Mercedes is a normal brand. Only in North America is it the standard of luxury

Plus, everywhere else they have their Unimog trucks which kick some serious ass.

this would put a dent in the denali market.

Done right, I could see this complementing the Metris and Sprinter on the commercial side of their U.S. operations and paving the way for more truck offerings down the line. Imagine if they decided to partner with Nissan again and give the Titan a similar treatment...the MB version would probably outsell the Titan.

They are midsize trucks. That sketch in that first post was only an artist's guess. The official info is here (with tons of pics and videos):

Also says thst MB is not marketing for North America but a 2000lb payload would be nice.

I noticed newer TVs are priced at lot higher on Craigslist that I would have thought. Big 4K TV over $1000.

I believe it could have low to moderate haul and or tow rating and still sell well. Some would buy it for the new upscale truck to have for sure . But again you would have to use the word truck lightly. 70,000 to 85,000 msrp would have some drooling if they play marketing good I believe.

Saw this at a car show last month.

 

 

 

 

I certainly would never buy one. Out of this poor bastard's league.

Good god I would love to have one for offroading and camping. They even come with a pickup bed....and portal axles!

Can throw a million attachments on them to mow hills and snowplow your driveway too.

 

Yeah, they do pretty damn good off the highway:
