If you like your luxury a little rugged, then the new Mercedes-Benz pickup truck might be right up your alley.
Daimler announced that Nissan and Mercedes are developing a double-cab 1-ton pickup together, which will be based on a Nissan truck that is not sold in the United States. "The Mercedes-Benz pickup will share some of the architecture with the all-new Nissan NP300, but it will be engineered and designed by Daimler to meet the specific needs of its customers," Daimler said in a statement. "The vehicle will have all of Mercedes Benz's distinctive characteristics and features."
The new pickup will be targeted for drivers in Europe, Australia, South Africa, and Latin America, USA Today reports, although executives are considering releasing it in the United States.
