Often put in the same box as the Mitsubishi L200, the Fiat Fullback is a robust and highly capable alternative to this bestselling model – and for good reason.
Alongside its capabilities as a work vehicle, the Fiat Fullback 2016-20 is known for being particularly impressive on the trail. Its ground clearance and heavy duty features are in fact applauded by the most serious off-road fans as this review from Honest John describes:
“Like the L200, the Fullback is a monster off-roader and all versions are capable of ploughing through mud, snow, sand or anything else that stands in its way. Things aren’t quite so impressive on road, with the Fullback’s ladder chassis frame and leaf springs producing a bumpy ride. Things improve when driving with a full load, but the Fullback lacks the refinement and comfort found in the Volkswagen Amarok and Nissan Navara.”
Why stop at its OE spec though? With the right upgrades, you can unleash your Fullback’s full potential and take on everything life off the road throws at you! Just check out our top five mods for off-roading below…
1. Terrain Tamer Suspension Kit

2. N4 Hidden Winch Mount
A great off-road experience means being ready for any challenge, and the right preparation comes down to your recovery equipment. Housing all those self-rescue essentials isn’t easy however, especially when your rig is packed with other gear, tools and supplies. That’s where the N4 Hidden Winch Mount comes in!
The N4 Hidden Winch Mount is heavy duty, professional grade and made for your Fullback Series 1. It’s a favourite for off-road recovery and commercial use, and provides a quality engineered mounting system that’s corrosion resistant and compatible with the factory bumpers of most models. The N4 Hidden Winch Mount Plate can also be installed in conjunction with other additions, including N4 underbody protection.
3. Warn VR Evo Electric Winch Kit
You’re going to need a winch with a quality to match your shiny new N4 Hidden Winch Mount, and do we have the kit for you! The Warn VR Evo 10-S 10,000lb Electric Winch is solid, reliable and manufactured by a world-leading brand. Parts include a synthetic rope, hook, fairlead, fitting kit, and 2-in-1 wired and wireless control system.
The winch’s IP68-rated waterproof construction also means it can perform in the most strenuous conditions to get your Fullback out of some really sticky situations.
4. N4 Side Protection Rails
Protect your Fiat Fullback’s most delicate parts by installing N4 Side Protection Rails ahead of your off-road trip. The average off-road trail can be a brutal place, with the risk of damage – especially to the side panels of your vehicle – very real. Our N4 Side Rails provide a vehicle-specific, reinforced, tubular setup to deliver robust protection.
5. TRED Pro Recovery Boards
Discover the convenience and power of the recovery board with our next recommendation. TRED Pro Recovery Boards may be simple by design, but they’re a heavy duty, self-rescue essential every Fullback owner should have onboard.
