Mercedes-Benz Pickup Truck - Can Porsche be Far Behind?

[PaulE]

Mercedes has a long history of trucks and SUV's. VW has had 2 pickups that I can recall, one based on the microbus, and another based on the Rabbit. Cadillac and Lincoln have both had pickups. If Porsche thinks it makes financial sense, I'm sure they will.

In fact, Mercedes invented the truck ... as they did the car and the motorcycle.

You can get a big trailer and make an 18-wheeler with a Mercedes tractor. Then there's the Unimog.

The pickup IMHO compliments the Sprinter and Metris vans more so than the SUVs and doubt Porsche is entering the commercial market.

VW owns MAN, which is a pretty comprehensive big truck line, and there are lots of VW-labeled commercial vehicles, including at one time a rebadged Sprinter. They have a pickup in South America.
