For a luxury brand, Mercedes has made quite a few pickup trucks. Blurring the line between white- and blue-collar was the Funmog, a luxurious Unimog.

As we’ve recently covered, electric pickup trucks still have to address several issues challenging their widespread use.

Pickup trucks are great tools and can serve as family vehicles, but they aren’t for everyone. Yes, some are genuinely bought to work, but more often they’re bought for the “what if I need it?” factor. What if I buy a boat? What if I need to haul some lumber? If consumers look logically at …

Considering how big even mid-size pickup trucks are getting, there’s been a rise in demand for smaller trucks. Car-based pickups, like the Chevrolet El Camino, are experiencing a revival.

Classic pickup trucks’ simplicity is both their biggest selling point and biggest weakness. And we’re not talking only about thinner A-pillars and lack of airbags. Classic trucks have fewer, if any, complicated electronics and fuel injection systems. But while that makes them simpler to fix, it also means they emit significantly more emissions and use …

Pickup truck fans sometimes seem to have a love-hate relationship with modern safety features. On the one hand, classic trucks are lighter and easier to see out of because of thin A-pillars and no airbags. But that also makes them more dangerous to drive around in.
