2025 Fiat Pickup Truck Fullback might just steal your heart. Fiat’s dipping its toes into the American truck scene with this beast, blending Italian flair with serious workhorse vibes.
Under the Hood: A Turbo Diesel Beast
Pop the hood on the 2025 Fullback, and you’re staring at a 2.4-liter turbocharged diesel engine that’s all business. It cranks out 180 horsepower and a stout 310 pound-feet of torque—enough to make your morning coffee spill when you floor it. Paired with a smooth six-speed automatic transmission, it zips from 0 to 60 in about 9 seconds, which isn’t drag-strip fast but feels plenty peppy hauling gear up a hill. Fuel economy? Expect around 25 mpg on the highway, sipping diesel like a pro. And for off-road fans, the available 4×4 system with low-range gearing lets you tackle mud, rocks, or snow without breaking a sweat. It’s not the raw power of a Ram 1500, but for a midsize truck, this engine’s got heart.
Towing and Hauling: Ready for Real Work
What really impressed me was the Fullback’s towing chops. This rig can pull up to 7,700 pounds when properly equipped—think a full-size camper or a trailer full of ATVs for that weekend getaway. The bed measures 5 feet long with 52 cubic feet of space, lined and tied down for whatever you throw at it. I loaded it with landscaping gear and tools for a buddy’s project, and it handled like a champ, no sway or strain. Payload tops out at 2,200 pounds, so it’s not just for show. Fiat threw in trailer-sway control and integrated brake controls as standard, making it safer than some pricier options out there.
Inside Scoop: Luxury Meets Practicality
Step inside the Fullback’s cabin, and it’s like Fiat remembered Americans like their trucks comfy. Leather-trimmed seats (on higher trims) hug you just right for long hauls, and the dashboard’s got that clean Italian design with a 7-inch touchscreen running Apple CarPlay and Android Auto. Climate control’s dual-zone, and there’s even heated front seats to chase away those chilly mornings. Rear space is generous for a midsize—three adults fit without grumbling—and storage cubbies everywhere keep your stuff organized. It’s quieter than you’d expect, with solid insulation blocking out road noise. Sure, it’s not as plush as a Silverado, but for the price, it’s a steal in the luxury department.
Price Tag and Trims
Fiat’s keeping it simple with three trims: base SX at $34,995, mid-level Volcano at $39,500, and top-dog Ranch at $44,000. All come loaded with basics like adaptive cruise, blind-spot monitoring, and a rearview camera. Jump to Volcano for nicer wheels and LED lights; Ranch adds the full leather and a premium sound system. Compared to rivals, you’re saving thousands while getting similar specs—perfect for budget-savvy buyers who want premium without the premium pain.
