    The X-Class "Concept" unveiled. Production version will probably tone down the fender flares and tire sizes:

    The G65 stock next to my 3" lift had a decent amount of GC side by side.

    Yep, read this a couple of days ago in Jalopnik. Honestly surprised MB is gunshy about bringing it here. They'll sell a ton down in South America, drug lords and crooked politicians love their pimped out luxury trucks and suvs.

    Gap almost makes it look like separate cab and bed until you look at the thing along the bottom connecting the cab/body. Makes me thing it's in the ridgeline el camino club because bed flex would not be good for that piece along the bottom. Still don't care because of the insane maintenance and parts prices. Nice maybe, but I'd never throw coin at it even if I had enough of it to not care.

    It is based on a Nissan NP300 Navara which is a body-on-frame truck. I agree though, midsize trucks are expensive enough as it is.

    Last thing we would want is more competition in the truck market

    I saw some older threads on it but they seemed to indicate it wasn't considered for NA. Now today they're saying it is being considered

    I thought the same, but it looks like that piece on the bottom is just a plastic rocker molding. Could still be separate cab/bed.
