Alright folks, the Mercedes-Benz X-Class (pickup) was just teased in a Youtube video released by Mercedes-Benz. Mercedes has been talking about the X-Class since the concept debuted in October of 2016. Although information on the truck is still limited, we do know some important facts.

The [Mercedes-Benz X-Class](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5693/the-new-mercedes-benz-x-class-pickup-truck-concept-is-here>) will allegedly be built on a ladder frame, have two locking differentials (assuming front and rear) and will hold true to the G-Wagen and GLE-Class heritage. Previous reports also indicate the mid-sized pickup truck will use a diesel V6 and 4Matic all-wheel-drive system. The interior of the truck will most likely match the Mercedes-Benz level of luxury but we wouldn't be surprised if vinyl seats were an option since it [will not be available in the US](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/8183/mercedes-explains-why-the-x-class-pickup-wont-come-to-us>). Still, there will be plenty of beautiful interior trims as you can see from the interior designs posted [here](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/5693/the-new-mercedes-benz-x-class-pickup-truck-concept-is-here>).

the Mercedes-Benz X-Class will debut on July 18th.
