The Fiat Fullback – Another Entrant Into The Booming Pickup Truck Market

Fiat have announced the launch in Autumn 2016 of their offering into the growing pickup Truck market. Following on from similar announcements of the new Nissan Navara NP300, Renault Alaskan and Mercedes’ first foray into the sector, Fiat have now confirmed the Fullback arrives in the UK in the latter part of next year.

Clearly heavily based on, and sharing a floorplan with, the recently launched Mitsubishi L200 Series 5, the Fullback will only come to the UK in DoubleCab fomat. There will however be at least two trim levels and two power option outputs of 150 & 180 BHP from the 2.4 litre aluminium turbo diesel powerplant. There will be also be an automatic transmission option to supplement the the regular 5 speed manual. All dimensions will be identical to the Mitsubishi L200 Series 5, and payload will be 1045Kg.

UK pricing has yet to be announced being due closer to the launch.

Given the similarity to Mitsubishi’s L200, that has received universal critical acclaim – what do you think of this vehicle ?
