So when does BMW announce their new truck... now that Mercedes has one?

To be fair, Mercedes also has large commercial trucks and vans, but this is more a passenger vehicle...

hopefully never

David70 · 10-26-2016, 09:14 AM

I think the answer is if they think it will make them money it will be on its' way.

I also hope for never.

Only if they call it Der Weg, which I believe is el Camino in German.

Der Weg = the way or the path auf Deutsch.

I'm sure it's already in the works. It won't be called a truck of course, they'll call it something like "Sports Belongings Carrier" and claim they invented a new segmet. Then they'll give it an extra set of doors and call it a coupe.

Its a suburu brat

ie an evolutionary dead end for vehicles sort of like a hybrid bicycle.....doesnt really do anything well

If it gets any of the G-wagon equipment(locking diffs), it could be really capable off-road.

Don't forget, they will give it a 2" lift kit and call it a "GT".

What that M-B truck actually is is a Nissan, built in Nissan factories for certain European, African, and Asian markets and in a Renault factory in Argentina for the South American market ...

... and it's not coming to the U.S. -- which is smart because it simply would not sell here. Not as it is now.

But make no mistake: ultraluxury import pickup trucks are coming here. Our market's just not quite ready for them yet ... and the trucks themselves aren't quite right yet, either. In five years' time, they will be.

Mercedes truck has been mentioned before by BMW

Those are kickass.

Does the 6x6 G count as a truck? If my father owned an oil field in the Middle East that would be my ride of choice for surveying the property. What an insane vehicle. I've driven most of the "normal" Ga but not that one.

Germanauto · 10-26-2016, 08:53 PM

The Benz pickup looks good. Would've been interesting if it came to the states which it is not.

Sure, because the Lincoln version of the F-150 was so successful...
