2005 Mercedes-Benz G-Class pickup truck for sale at Bring A Trailer.

If you're looking for a little extra cargo space in your G-Wagen, check out the one-off 2005 Mercedes-Benz G500 pickup truck for sale at Bring a Trailer.

The pickup was commissioned by California tech entrepreneur Mani Krasolya. The inspiration was the G63 6x6 AMG, and the goal was to recreate some of that six-wheeler's style and off-road capabilities at a (relatively) low price, Mani told Motor Authority in 2018.

Mercedes has never offered the G-Class pickup in the U.S., but it does offer it in other markets. Its version was not as luxurious as the G-Wagon sold in the U.S., so this pickup offers the best of both worlds.

The donor G500 was purchased in 2014 and transported to the Netherlands.

To make room for the bed, Ikwileeng extended the frame and moved the rear axle back. The cargo bed was derived from the G-Wagen models that Mercedes built for Scandinavian airlines in the 1970s and 1980s. These were single-cab vehicles designed for cargo handling, but the G500 retains the stock four-door cab.

The completed vehicle retained the stock M113 naturally aspirated 5.0-liter V-8 that produced 292 horsepower and 336 pounds of torque. This engine was mated to a five-speed automatic transmission and featured a factory four-wheel drive system that included a two-speed transfer case and front, center, and rear locking differentials.

The pickup is mounted on 16-inch Hutchinson beadlock wheels with Cooper Discoverer STT Pro tires and Bilstein shocks. It also has several technological upgrades, including Apple CarPlay and a 360-degree camera system.

At the time of publication of the article, the high bid was $78,000 with one day left in the auction. This is well below our estimate of $130,000 to $140,000 to replicate this build in 2018.
