Mercedes is now studying the North American market to make a case for bringing
the X-Class.
Building upon the latest Nissan Navara, which also
forms the base for the Renault Alaskan, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class was presented
in concept form last year. In the
meantime, the Germans have started testing prototypes out in the open, which
are believed to use some of Daimler's engines, and the 4Matic all-wheel drive.
An exact reveal date is unknown at this time, but
the pickup truck that will compete against the Volkswagen Amarok, among other
trucks, should debut later in 2017.
