We’re already counting down the hours until Mercedes-Benz unveils their pre-production pickup truck study and while we won’t know how popular the model proves for some time, there’s a chance it could spark extra interest in the market.
Heck, even some regional officials from Audi and BMW have hinted at possible pickups.
However, of all the luxury brands on the market, the one that could easily make the jump to premium pickup trucks is Land Rover.
Although it’s improbable, Theophilus Chin has rendered what a pickup version of the latest-generation Land Rover Discovery could look like, complete with the vehicle’s familiar front end and overhauled rear that now incorporates a large cargo bed.
Even though we’re unlikely to see such a vehicle hit the market, Land Rover certainly has the ability to produce such a car. After all, the Defender was available in various pickup guises and the new Defender, set to arrive in 2019, will be offered in a selection of body styles, potentially including a new pickup.
