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.
