Nissan Navara D23
Renault Alaskan
Mercedes Benz X-class

Wait...what? The Renault and Nissan being related makes sense, but a Merc underpinned by a Nissan frame and body panels...? That just seems weird.....

I don’t know much about these. The Renault looks best. I am sure the Merc is over priced since they are all the same truck, but it has a Merc badge.

I like the grille on the Mercedes over the others.

Mercedes make a van that’s a rebadged Renault, so maybe that explains it?
Maybe?

Renault wears it better but the Mercedes is actually surprisingly substantially re-engineered from the Navara it is based on. And the D23 is no shit box to begin with. Unfortunately, the Merc still has Nissan engines unless one gets into the top spec big coin versions...so it’s a nope from me.

Why not just take the Gwagen frame and lengthen it...bam, Gwagen pickup, sell thousands, you’re welcome.

That Geländewagen idea is a million times better.
You had one job, Mercedes.

interesting - didn’t realize Renault got a version too. That actually looks pretty nice, maybe even better than the orig Nissan or the Benz.

Nissan and Merc have been doing a lot of talking and sharing for a long time. It was only inevitable that one day we’d have a platform shared between them, although I don’t think anyone saw the X-Class coming.
That said, I love the Renault version, and as a Nissan truck fanboy that’s saying something. I only wish the wheels looked even closer to the concept than they do.
Maybe it’s only the paintjob and the knobbier tires, but I feel like the concept wheels have a deeper offset.

Strangely enough... The x class. Which just goes to show how bad Nissan design is. From the cab back it’s nice but their fronts are terrible

Way too expensive, it could never compete in this segment.
Source: they already sell a g pickup and it’s twice as much
$101,000... For real.

They had one job, then they did it and started another one

And people were upset about the $100k F 450 Limiteds being not “worth it”...
