The Mercedes-AMG G63 bakkie by Pit26 is a beast on wheels, combining the rugged durability of a bakkie with the power and luxury of a Mercedes-AMG vehicle.

The G63 Pickup’s exterior is a sight to behold. The bakkie features a bold and rugged design that is instantly recognizable as a G-Class vehicle. The boxy shape and upright stance of the vehicle exude a sense of strength and toughness, while the signature AMG Panamericana grille adds a touch of refinement and style. According to Pit26, some fairly drastic modifications of the entire rear end of the vehicle had to happen in order to turn the Mercedes-AMG G63 SUV into a bakkie. Consequently, this customization job starts off by cutting a G63 in two, After that, the chassis gets extended by 20 inches, and a cargo bed gets attached to the rear of the truck.

The G63 bakkie also gets redesigned front and rear bumpers that provide rugged capability and meaner looks while also accommodating a front winch. Shocks and coils get upgraded to Bilstein performance-grade equipment, and this bakkie gets new upper and lower control arms. Full lower-truss support is added to keep the extended length of the bakkie rigid and robust. Finally, the modification job comes to an end with the installation of portal axles and huge 38-inch all-terrain tyres that raise ground clearance by 9 inches.

The powertrain remains stock, featuring a twin-turbo 4,0-litre V8 that produces 430 kW of power and 850 N.m of torque paired to a nine-speed automatic transmission that sends power to all four wheels

While the Mercedes-AMG G63 Pickup by Pit26 is certainly not a vehicle for everyone, it is a stunning example of what can be accomplished with a little creativity and engineering. The combination of raw power, luxury, and rugged durability make this vehicle perfect for those who want to stand out from the crowd and take on any challenge that comes their way.

Topical tips on buying used – Chapter 1

Image
Buying a used car can be harrowing, whether privately or from a dealer. Here are some tips, as well as some things to watch out for. Beware of low mileages, especially on smaller or cheaper cars. It is always possible that the odometer has been turned back. Some things to bear in mind are:- diesels are often bought because they the driver needs to undertake long trips without consuming vast amounts of fuel. This could be a sales rep, or someone travelling large distances to work, lots of lengthy trip for family holidays, etc. So, usually higher mileages than normal. An expensive or luxury car may not see much time on the road, but very seldom a “workhorse”. This makes the executive cars likely to have a lot more life left than the overworked and abused hatchback. These also spend most of their life in a home garage or undercover parking lot at work.
