If the Mercedes-Benz X-Class proves successful, you can be assured
that other premium automakers will follow suit. In fact, BMW said last year
that it could follow Merc’s lead if the reception to the X-Class is positive
and based off initial reactions to the concept, it seems Mercedes may have a
potential winner on its hands.
So, if BMW is to produce a rival to the X-Class,
what form could it take? Well, Rain Prisk has decided to imagine a pickup truck
based around the BMW X5 and for a pickup, it looks really nice.
While Mercedes is basing its pickup around the
Nissan Navara, BMW lacks a partner experienced in the pickup market to use for
its offering. As such, it could be forced to modify one of its existing
platforms, or an entirely new one, in order to bring a pickup truck to life.
