On July 18 will Mercedes-Benz unveil the X-Class pickup

Mercedes-Benz will officially unveil the production X-Class pickup truck on July 18. There's a website for the unveil, but there's no information on that site just yet, except for the teaser video that's also embedded above.

There's still no guarantee that the midsize X-Class will even come to the US. Back in February, Mercedes-Benz hemmed and hawed on US-spec X-Class production, saying how it would likely need a whole second plant to match demand. US buyers prefer full-size pickups by double-digit factors, too, further complicating matters.

If it were to come to the US, it would face off against competitors like the Toyota Tacoma, Chevrolet Colorado and, starting in 2019, the Ford Ranger.
