Passion
Fiat making a big pickup? Imagine the outcry just a few years ago. But now the pickup is more and more becoming the vehicle of choice for the working farmer/builder/anything across Europe and the everyman’s car maker of Italy would be bonkers not to include on in their lineup. Teaming up with Mitsubishi was a smart move, the L200 is one of the most accomplished pickups around, so with a little Fiat design, it makes the Fullback a real proposition for those who want a flatbed in the UK. In Cross mode, the Fullback becomes a great all-rounder, able to lug unspeakable amounts of kit (1,045kg) almost anywhere without a struggle. If you want a pickup and want to head away from the tarmac then Fiat have stamped their name as one you have to look at.
