    I'm in Germany on vacation with the family and saw a couple of trucks that I thought were interesting.

    The Mercedes truck was at the showroom in the Mercedes museum in Stuttgart. I think they will sell a ton of them in the US.

    The other is the Ford ranger . I've seen a few here so far.

    LS1 swap with nitros.
    Nice... have seen the rangers in Asia, Europe, and South America. The Merc truck looks nice but is likely going to be 50k or better if we get it.

    BTW - the 7-8 story Mercedes museum in Stuttgart is spectacular.

    Yes that is where I saw the Mercedes truck. On the showroom at the bottom of the museum. It was an impressive museum. We visited the Porsche one as well. It was outstanding.

    I went to the Porsche museum one day last October as a reprieve from the Oktoberfest shitshow. What a great place!

    A little of this and a little of that.
    I’m in Europe and Scandinavia several times a year for work and get to see the “Euro” Ranger and other small/mid sized trucks that are non US at the moment. I like the Mercedes, VW, Ford, and of course the Hi-Lux Toyota trucks. The Fiat truck looks pretty light duty IMO.

    Great pictures @taco2010trd!

    The VW is the Amarok and it's a pretty capable little awesome truck. Fucking chicken tax or we could have it too. Well If tiny hands doesn't fuck it up that is lol

    The first VW pickup was the Taro, which was a rebadged Hilux like our 89-95 trucks. So they build a legit truck since they had a pretty good starting point.
