Cammo Clad Mercedes GLT Pickup Caught Running Through Testing

Mercedes-Benz’s first pick-up truck model has been spotted testing ahead of its expected introduction next year.

It's believed the pick-up truck will be given the name GLT – the first time the letter T has been used in Mercedes’ naming system.

The test truck is clad in a heavy disguise, but its front-end styling is not dissimilar to that of the Nissan Navara NP300 with which it shares underpinnings, albeit with widened tracks.

Mercedes’ design language appears in the design, with the upswept appearance of the headlights of the Mercedes range visible in outline through the camouflage. Roof bars also appear to feature, but aside from these features, the camouflage does its job of hiding the car’s appearance

why not...Benz has been steadily loosing their cred as a premium brand. Looks like a Nissan Frontier, rebadged!

Actualy MB used the letter 'T' many decades ago and until the 90's if I remember correclty. 230TE, 280TE, 300TE for w123 & w124 station wagons / touring. So not the first time then...

The GLT ads are going to be very "interesting".

I can't wait for the industry critics' reactions when this thing is driven on-stage at an auto show.
