Mercedes-Benz is taking its time to bring the Mercedes-Benz X-Class, its first pick-up truck, to the market, and besides development of vehicle, it's also spending time learning what pick-up truck buyers expect otherwise from their vehicle. A company official has told CarAdvice that the Mercedes-Benz X-Class will be available with many individualisation options as well as customisation parts.

Besides lines, packages and options for individualsation, the company has planned a comprehensive portfolio of customisation parts as well for the X-Class, consisting of bed liners, bed covers, styling accessories and protection accessories, Dominik Amann, Head of Product Management for the Mercedes-Benz mid-size pick-up, said.

It is for the first time that the company has a dedicated project that has developed such an extensive range of customisation parts. Designed, engineered and tested in-house, these should make the Mercedes-Benz X-Class more personalised and suitable to an individual's practical needs.
