When you hear the word “pickup-truck”, which carmakers come to your mind? Ford? Dodge? Surely not Mercedes, right? But with the X-Class, Mercedes set their foot into unprecedented territory. Merc wanted the X-Class to be a workhorse just like many other pickup trucks on the market and that it exactly what it did.

The X-Class has four-wheel drive as standard; it is built on a ladder-frame chassis that gives it more durability and also has specially constructed suspension. The X class can handle everything you can throw at it and yet, it will feel like a Mercedes in every way. It can do what many pickup trucks can do while giving you the joy and experience of driving a Mercedes.
