I often see Mercedes-Benz vehicles with a small ladder attached at the back on the streets. These are usually from the Mercedes-Benz Sprinter or V-Class series. They are quite spacious, and the ladder is either an original design or an aftermarket accessory, making it easier for people to climb onto the roof. For example, in the freight or logistics industry, these vehicles are used for transporting goods, and the ladder facilitates easier loading and unloading. Some people even convert them into camper vans, using the ladder to access rooftop tents or store luggage. The Mercedes-Benz Sprinter offers a large cargo space, and this design is quite popular in Europe, though it's gradually becoming more common in China as well. I must say, these ladders aren’t found on luxury sedan versions but rather on the more practical, business-oriented Mercedes-Benz models, suitable for those who need versatile utility. If you see a Mercedes-Benz with a ladder, it’s definitely not the AMG sports car type but a more practical, functional vehicle.

I've been driving a Mercedes-Benz for several years and have also encountered the topic of rear ladders. That usually happens with Mercedes commercial models like the Sprinter or Vito, where the ladder is a convenient feature for climbing onto the roof. In real-world scenarios, for example, courier companies use it to move goods, or families modify it into a camper for travel. The Mercedes V-Class also has similar options in the high-end market, but I think the most common is the Sprinter due to its high chassis and flat roof. The ladder is usually made of iron and fixed at the rear of the vehicle, secured with simple latches for safe use. As an owner, I recommend regularly checking the ladder's stability to avoid loosening. This design can significantly improve daily work efficiency or outdoor adventure enjoyment.

The Mercedes-Benz models with ladders at the back are mainly the Sprinter commercial series, which were originally designed as cargo vans. The ladder allows you to climb onto the roof for loading/unloading goods or performing maintenance. This feature is commonly seen in logistics companies or among individual users who modify the vehicle into a mobile work platform.
