It's ugly....BUT, seeing as how it's only a Mercedes, it'll really be affordable:R Everyone on the block will own one...Nah, it's just another grocery getter, truck wannabe....Guess it'll work towing the 5er pictured if no mountains to tow....mostly flat to hilly, I mean we have 1/2 ton pick-ups here that can pull the Space Shuttle:B
No, they tow in the mountains of New Zealand, highest peak 12,000 ft. It is a mighty hilly place.
This company sells Australian, US and British towables, notice the 30ft Ultima lightweight 5ver, 5th slideUltima 5ver in Mountainous New Zealand
The MB Pickup will be a more carlike "I Tonne" Pickup, than the Ranger. I think it will slightly more luxurious than the Ranger/Amarok
Sorry...not buying it....I'm talking about the little ugly Mercedes that is on your first post...Not believing it'll tow the 5er ALSO pictured up 12,000' peaks...not buying it..
...and I was talking about the Mercedes you first posting about...nothing else...your post was about the "want to be a truck" Mercedes...I doubt very seriously it'll tow the 5er that was pictured up mountains at a safe speed, to 12,000'.....So we need to be talking about the same thing here...you're switching vehicles on me now...
A 1 ton pick-up like the Ranger:E...don't even consider the Ford Ranger a 1/2 ton truck..Guess that's what we get being continents apart.
I would like to think that a MERCEDES BENZ would be " a little more "luxurious than a Ranger....but again, maybe my perception of what you're calling a Ranger isn't what I know as a Ranger....
I think you are talking about something totally different. Global Ranger like the new Mercedes is a 1 Tonne Ute, 2,200lb min payload. BOF. slightly smaller than the F150
The Ranger has nothing to do with the small US Ranger, it was nowhere as big as a base F150
No, basically, I saw your first post of the little Mercedes, "want to be a truck"...THEN, I saw a picture of a 5er....I posted about THAT MERCEDES towing THAT 5er...
I apologize...shouldn't have posted....Here in the United States, if I had the money to purchase a Mercedes like the one you first posted about....I might get it to put groceries in or potted plants at Lowes or Home Depot....I now have no clue what we're talking about. I know zip, nil, nada of "Global Ranger...I can't even concieve a "1 ton Ute" (SUV)...so, again, sorry for having hijacked your thread.....I originally posted to state the Mercedes was ugly and I really would have no need for it....
