# Mercedes-Benz E-Class Pickup Truck: Get Ute Some Truckin’ Goodness

![](<https://www.thedrive.com/wp-content/uploads/images-by-url-td/content/2018/12/2000_mercedes-benz_e320_pick_up_truck_15426460496e7dff9f98764daIMG_4272.jpg>)

A recent [*B*ring a Trailer online auction](<https://bringatrailer.com/listing/2000-mercedes-benz-e320-pick-up-truck/>) shows off this oddity: a 2000 Mercedes-Benz E320 that was converted into a four-door pickup. This conversion was carried out by [Binz, a stretch limo manufacturer](<https://www.binz.com/en>) in Stuttgart, Germany, and reportedly cost $50,000 over the E320’s base price tag. Changes to the standard car include a stretched wheelbase, a bed frame with diamond plate liner, a new rear window, and passenger bucket seats replacing the bench in the back.

This particular [E-Class](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/12759/brabus-tastefully-tunes-mercedes-benz-e-class>) was ordered new by an Atlanta-area Mercedes dealer and has been owned by the current seller in California since 2003, racking up around 21,000 miles during its life. The Benz is rolling on 18-inch AMG monoblock wheels, but is still powered by the pedestrian 3.2-liter V6 sending 221 horsepower to a five-speed automatic transmission. The wheelbase has been extended 29 inches over the stock car, giving it a new figure of about 140 inches. That’s a foot longer than a [Chevy Suburban](<https://www.thedrive.com/news/22843/2019-chevy-suburban-tahoe-get-new-top-tier-package-premium-plus>), so parallel parking might be tricky.

Inside the E320 are the aforementioned rear bucket seats with a custom cooler center console to store all your fancy drinks, although the seller stated the cooling component is not currently functional. Up front, everything is typical E-Class with leather upholstery and the most advanced [infotainment system](<https://www.thedrive.com/tech/20677/volvo-will-bake-google-maps-google-play-store-google-assistant-into-new-infotainment-systems>) that the year 2000 had to offer.

The auction ended on Dec. 17, collecting bids up to $20,250, but failing to meet the seller’s reserve price. If you’re a car collector that absolutely must have this giant thing, there’s always the chance that the seller will re-list the car with a more realistic reserve.
