Fiat's new Fullback pick-up truck, based on the Mitsubishi L200, has been unveiled at the Dubai International Motor Show.

The new, medium-duty pick-up will join the Fiat Professional range in autumn 2016, and in the UK will be available only with a practical double cab body style configuration.

Measuring up to 1,780mm in height, 1,815 mm in width and 5,285mm in length, with a wheelbase of 3,000mm, the truck will offer a payload of 1,045 kg, powered by a 2.4-litre, aluminium, turbo-diesel engine with a power output of either 150hp or 180hp.

Two transmissions will be available, a new six-speed manual gearbox or a five-speed automatic transmission with sports mode, and both will be combined with full four-wheel drive systems.

The Fullback will be available in the UK in two trim levels with pricing and specifications to be announced closer to the vehicle’s launch in autumn 2016.
