Mercedes-Benz G-Wagen Pick Truc

There is big, like this extended wheelbase Mercedes-Benz G500 pickup truck, and then there is really BIG, like the premium 4x4's over-the-top sibling you see pictured above. Built by German customizer GWF, this oversized G500 pickup truck conversion measures a little over 6.3 meters (248 inches) in length or some 210mm more than a Rolls-Royce Phantom Long Wheelbase limo!
It also stands 2.2 metres (86.6 inches) tall and 2.25 metres (88.6 inches) wide, while it tips the scales at 2,800kg (6,173 pounds) empty.
The 5.0-liter V8-powered model is finished in a menacing matte black color and rides on special off road tires. The seller says the interior has not been touched and features the same amenities and space as the regular G500.
The donor car was a G500 from 2002.
In pickup truck form, the G500 has a price to match its ginormous dimensions at €125,000 or about US$157,800 at the current exchange rates.
