Inspired by the Mitsubishi L200, the Fiat Fullback may have been a short-lived pickup model but it made a big impact in the 4WD world. Its abilities both on the road and off should certainly be celebrated, with its rugged styling, ground clearance and towing capacity making it popular with a wide range of drivers, including weekend off-roaders and families.
The Fiat Fullback also provides excellent value for money after the initial purchase, and was actually named one of the cheapest pick-ups to insure by HonestJohn Vans:
“…having made its debut with the Fullback in 2016. It hasn’t got off to a bad start, as it’s great off-road (every model comes with four-wheel drive) and can hack heavy-duty work. It may be based on the Mitsubishi L200, but the Fullback with the 150PS engine starts one insurance group lower at 40A compared to the Mitsubishi’s 41E and also comes as a double cab, whereas the cheapest L200 to insure is a single cab.”
