From the outside, the Pit26 Motorsports Mercedes-AMG G63 pickup is a wild and crazy creation. However, there are a few areas the company opts to leave factory standard. Under the hood is the original Mercedes-AMG twin-turbocharged 4.0-liter V-8 engine. Pumping out 577 hp and 627 lb-ft of torque, the company has found no reason to jeopardize the reliability of the hand-crafted engine by bumping output. And with the gear reduction offered by the portal boxes, the truck has more than enough torque to handily move its heft down the road. The factory nine-speed automatic transmission also remains, along with the standard two-speed transfer case and locking differentials.
The vehicle's interior remains untouched from the C-pillar forward—which is perfectly fine as this latest generation of G-Wagen (2019 to 2023) features all of the modern comforts one would expect from Mercedes-Benz, including a massive, 12.3-inch infotainment screen and additional 12.3-inch digital instrument cluster. The truck's Active Multicontour front seats are a nice touch on twisty trails, and the massaging feature is appreciated when a day in the dirt is complete. The abundance of real wood, leather, metal, and carbon fiber make the G-Class interior a wonderful place to luxuriate, so there was no reason to fuss with it. Special care has also been taken to ensure that as many of the standard safety and convenience features that come with the G-Class, such as active brake assist, adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and more, remain functional. After all, the last thing you want in your nearly $400,000 G-Class is a dash full of warning lights.
