We have many countdowns to events to follow these days, and here is another one. A midsize pickup truck from Mercedes Benz. The company setup a live feed for Oct 25, 2016 at 10:30am MT (see the live feed below). The event will be held at the art gallery Artipelag in Stockholm, Sweden.
Mercedes says that concept truck will showcase the design, while the Mercedes’ top executives: Dr. Dieter Zetsche, Volker Mornhinweg, and Gorden Wagener will explain the global product strategy and the design direction.
Mercedes Benz Pickup website displays the countdown and a short preview clip that shows many locations around the world that include everything from dirt roads to a large city center.
Several reports suggest that the Mercedes pickup truck will be based on the Nissan NP300 Navara (aka. Nissan Frontier). The latest version of the Nissan NP300 Navara is now sold in other markets (Europe and Asia). It’s not clear whether the Mercedes pickup concept will give any hint into what the next generation Nissan Frontier will be like for the United States market.
The name of the production pickup truck is still unconfirmed. It may be called the GLT or X-Class.
What do you think? Should Mercedes Benz bring this premium midsize pickup truck to the United States?
Here is the live feed link to the upcoming debut of the #MBPickup .
