The Mercedes-Benz Concept X-Class is a two-pronged approach to trucks

Featuring variants that appeal to either lifestyle or "real truck" fans, the Concept X-Class is still a Mercedes-Benz through and through.

Cars are Andrew's jam, as is strawberry. After spending years as a regular ol' car fanatic, he started working his way through the echelons of the automotive industry, starting out as social-media director of a small European-focused garage outside of Chicago. From there, he moved to the editorial side, penning several written features in Total 911 Magazine before becoming a full-time auto writer, first for a local Chicago outlet and then for CNET Cars.

Powerful Adventurer, seen here, goes for the beefy approach with big fenders, off-road tires, a winch and an open-style tailgate.

Stylish Explorer is more of a "lifestyle enhancer," with a focus on luxury items like large wheels and wraparound LED taillights.
