The Mercedes X-Class is brand’s push to the lucrative one-ton pickup truck segment and this model debuted in July 2017 as the 2018 model. The model competes with likes of the Ford Ranger, VW Amarok, Toyota Hilux, Mitsubishi L200 and sister model Nissan Navara.

The model also boasts strong off-road ability and class-leading technology.

2019 Mercedes-Benz GLT

Many car manufactures have begun to show their interest for the pickup trucks and we have witnessed several new models and hints that new versions will come in the near future. That isn’t something unexpected considering growing popularity of these vehicles and their potential profitability. But it certainly sounds especially interesting when the name of the Mercedes is involved in this kind of project. For several years now hints about Mercedes’ first pickup truck circulating around.

Now after some people from the Mercedes have hinted some details everything looks more serious. It has been said that the first pickup from this brand will probably use the GLT name and it won’t be full-size version which goes on the models like top-selling Ford F-150, Ram 1500, Chevy Silverado or GMC Sierra.

What is also interesting, this undertaking will be joint venture with Nissan and many vital components will be sourced from the Nissan Navara but Mercedes will do all job in exterior and interior of this model. The new 2019 Mercedes-Benz GLT will also offer wide range of different powertrains and great driving quality.
