Will be interesting too what they want to do with this. Competition is now the Amarok according too MB. That has now 254hp and 420lbs ft of torque. Japanese are being a little bit agitated. Would not be surprised too see the Japanese bring out a well specked suitor.Mercedes was released today in Australia

Wow that's a really nice looking mid sized truck? Or is it larger then the GM mid twins or Tacoma? Any info on payload and tow rating? May do good in the states if it ever comes here.

Will have a 254hp and 420lbsft optional dieselComing too the US MB says no.We get 13 models.

A tail light lense for a Merceds goes for around $500. You need a mechanic named Fritz. I had a MB but it was expensive to keep it running. There are no parts out by Winnemucca.

Preach it man!^But the mechanic needs to be named Klaus or it ain't gonna get fixed right!Edit, the little 3litre diesel pickups are pretty sweet though, especially once they get tuned to 300/500+It's like having an old duramax in a compact truck.....hot rod!

Too much rear overhang relative to wheelbase. my guess is some tongue weight is going to give that truck some problems.
