Because North America is the biggest market for large* pickups. The X class is an actually functional middle-sized utility, rather than an oversized compensation machine. Americans don't like smaller pickups and especially not curvy ones because they're not 'manly' enough. That's why all the best sellers in America are the size of Titanic and as craggy as the iceberg that sank her.

And besides. Mercedes in the USA is seen as a luxury brand. And most pickup buyers are buying them for the image of being a blue collar good ol boy rather than because they have an actual use for them. Mercedes most definitely doesn't have a blue collar image like Dodge/Chevrolet/Ford.

I think the tide is starting to turn on that perception. The fact that they're airing Sprinter and Metris ads on TV and radio (and more and more Mercedes vans are showing up in dealers and on the road) is exposing more and more people here to the fact that, globally, the brand has a legit blue collar side in addition to the leather-and-wood-lined passenger cars and SUVs. Plus there's the fact that (some) people are actually willing to pay $60k or more for luxed-up full-size pickups like the Sierra Denali and F-150 Limited, so a conceptually similar (Maybe based on the Titan but with Mercedes powertrains, a la the Navara based X-Class?) offering from Mercedes is no longer that far-fetched, IMHO. Same goes for medium duty (Class 5, 6 and 7) trucks, perhaps with Sprinter-based cabs (like how the last gen GM Kodiak/Top-Kick cabs were Express/Savana derived) and twinned with a new Freightliner model line for its dealers to sell.

Can't forget that most people buy vans because they need a van. Pickup buyers are a completely different animal. They're like the Harley Davidson owners of the car world.

In fact, how well those expensive Ford/Chevrolets sell proves my point. Pickup buyers want a fancy luxury pickup, but without a luxury badge. History has shown that. GM tried selling a Chevrolet pickup as a Cadillac and no one bought it. Ford tried to sell a luxury F150 as a Lincoln, and no one bought it. As soon as they put a Ford badge on, it became one of their most profitable models. F-series Platinum.

As soon as they put a Ford badge on, it became one of their most profitable models. F-series Platinum.

I don't completely agree with this. Yes, the Lincoln Blackwood was a complete failure. I could go into great detail about all the bad decisions made about Lincoln and by Lincoln while it was being squeezed between Mercury on the bottom and Jaguar on the top, but the biggest reason the Blackwood failed was because it looked exactly like the cynical marketing ploy it was, a Ford with a fancy grill and a $30,000 markup. It didn't generate any desire among buyers.

On the other hand, Cadillac has done an amazing job reinventing itself over the last 20 years or so. The current lineup of Cadillacs are desirable and selling very well. That includes the Escalade and Escalade EXT. When they turned the Suburban and Silverado into Cadillacs, they did more than just slap a wreath and crest on the grill and call it a day. They completely reskinned the trucks with bodies that carried the Cadillac DNA. Buyers willingly pay the $30,000 markup because they don't feel like they're buying fancy Chevys. They feel like they're buying Cadillacs.

The fact that the Mercedes-Benz truck is marginally smaller than the usual big dick tanks of hot air and nothing you can get from the Big Three is a selling point in my opinion. It's more reasonably sized, much easier to park, and still big enough to get the job done. There's still a market for smaller trucks in the US. GM has a new Chevy Colorado/GMC Canyon. Honda has a new Ridgeline. Toyota and Nissan continue to sell their "compact" pickups (really mid-sized if you ask me.)

It wasn't that long ago that people saw SUVs as nothing more than blue collar transportation. Today you can get SUVs from nearly every luxury car maker in the world. Porsche's best seller is an SUV. We'll soon be able to get SUVs from Maserati and Jaguar. I see the truck market as no different. This is obviously just a matter of opinion and we may not find common ground, but I believe Mercedes-Benz is underestimating the North American truck buyer.

(Full disclosure: I own a 1977 Datsun 620 pickup. It's an amazing truck that still runs even with over 300,000 miles on it. I will admit a bias towards smaller trucks.)

The F150 platinum is the same as the Blackwood, functionally. An F150 with some extra chrome, leather interior, and costs some $20k more. I think it really boils down to Americans buying pickups generally want what is the biggest and the 'best' what has the most doors, the biggest bed, the most power, the biggest towing capacity, and most importantly what rides the highest and takes up the most space on the road.
It's why Ford stopped selling the Ranger in America, it's why the Dakota was discontinued, it's why the Ridgeline barely makes money, it's why for every Canyon/Colorado you see a dozen Sierras/Silverados, and why the X class probably wouldn't do well. The only wildcard is the Tacoma and to a lesser extent Frontier. Toyota and Nissan built up such a reputation for high quality smaller utilities that people still buy them because of it. Most other brands don't have that reputation.

Can't forget the SUV starting in the 1990s was primarily bought by women because they thought that because it was taller and bigger that equated to it being safer. The difference is, women have mostly moved to X-overs, whilst pickups are still usually the domain of men.

My personal beef with the X class is the styling looks too much like the Mercedes 'Dead fish' language, and that it's almost guaranteed to only come in 4 door-short bed. And the 4x4 one will probably have independent suspension in the front. I don't understand why they don't just start making a pickup version of the Geländewagen again. They could do with it what Land Rover did with the Defender and what Jeep should do with the Wrangler.

 

[ToyGTone]

The whole talk about Trucks reminded me of how truck owners over here...
There's two types of pick up truck owners here, ones that are driven by labor workers for actual labor work and it's mostly goes to trucks like Toyota Hilux, Nissan Navara and Mitsubishi L200. The other type goes to young males who drives big ass trucks like the Silverado, Sierra, Tundra, Ram and F Series just to look cool and manly/bad ass rather than actually tow or carry stuff around.
