The Best Partner in Impossible Crossings
The Mercedes-AMG G63 has undergone an impressive transformation by Pit26 Motorsports, turning it into a formidable off-road pick-up truck. Known for its timeless design, the G-Class has always been a popular choice for ambitious modifications, especially in its high-performance AMG variant. However, Pit26 has taken it a step further, creating a monster pick-up with unrivaled off-road capabilities.
The modified G63 features a rear section that has been skillfully cut and replaced with a robust pick-up bed, while the chassis has been extended by approximately 508 mm. But the modifications don’t end there. Pit26 has gone the extra mile to enhance the off-road DNA of this AMG beast. The suspension has been upgraded with new arms, Bilstein shocks, coils, and steering sleeves, ensuring improved performance on rough terrain. Additionally, the rear axle has been reinforced for increased rigidity and durability. While details about the brake system improvement are scarce, it is evident that no aspect of this vehicle has been overlooked in its transformation.
Alongside these features, the vehicle boasts massive 38-inch Toyo off-road tires and offers a choice between 18 or 20 inches for standard tires. As a result, the Mercedes now gains an impressive 229 mm of additional ground clearance, allowing it to navigate even the most challenging terrains. To enhance its aggressive and bold appearance, the car is equipped with a sleek matte black paint job. Additionally, it comes fitted with a new exhaust system, upgraded bumpers featuring a Warn winch at the front, rear wheel holders, and auxiliary lights, including KC auxiliary lights on the roof. Moreover, the vehicle’s storage capabilities are enhanced by a concealed box that contains various drawers and TruckVault storage options, allowing for convenient removal of a camper component.
Underneath the hood lies the heart of this beast, the tried and tested 4.0-liter twin-turbo V8 engine, delivering a whopping 585 hp of power and 850 Nm of maximum torque. However, all these impressive features come at a steep price tag, making it an exclusive choice for those with a generous budget. This is def not an average AMG G63 Pickup Truck!
In conclusion, the Mercedes-AMG G63 has been turned into a truly awe-inspiring pick-up truck by Pit26 Motorsports. With its enhanced off-road capabilities and numerous accessories, it proves to be the perfect companion for conquering even the most challenging terrains.
