Mercedes 6 Wheel Prototype
Mercedes has an interesting truck prototype on its drawing board and in development.  It's named the Pickup Design, has six wheels and is a version of the MB X-Class.  Sometimes a picture tells more than a thousand words.  What do you think?  The name of the concept vehicle is the Exy Monster X concept.

Monster Truck
The truck hasn't been produced yet but it's creating a lot of buzz for racing and travel.  MB plans that all of the truck's body panels will be carbon fiber. There will be a lightbar on the roof, huge fenders to mount bigger wheels, an extra axle and a big bulge on the hood to accommodate what's needed underneath the hood for this "Monster" truck to deliver.

Turbodiesel
There are not a lot of details on the "Monster" yet.   But it is going to be initially equipped with a turbodiesel 3.0 liter V6 engine with 258 horsepower and 40+ pound feet of torque. It's a 3 axle setup.  No information on controls for 6x6 mode. But, it's exciting new travel innovation and looks like the start of brawny pickup truck travel.  For more news stories on innovation in travel and other innovations , go to amazon.com/author/ekane
