FIAT Adds More Capability To Its Popular Diesel Toro Compact Pickup For 2022!​

Come On Stellantis! We Want One!​

The FIAT brand has made its Fiat Toro compact pickup even more capable and efficient for the 2022 model year. The Toro has become a sales phenomenon since its launch, almost 6 years ago, the Toro has become more economical in all its versions and can carry even more cargo on turbodiesel models.

Configurations that are equipped with the 2.0-liter Multijet II turbodiesel four-cylinder already had a best-in-class payload capacity in the segment. But now, the 2022 Fiat Toro turbodiesel models can carry up to 1,010 kg (2,226 lbs.), which is about 300 kg (662 lbs.) more than Ford’s all-new Maverick compact pickup. That is also more payload than a 2011 Dodge Dakota, which had a payload of 816 kg (1,799 lbs.).

I like the idea of bringing the Toro here. Would a diesel option even be popular enough for acceptance in the US? The cost of emissions compliance will probably exceed that of the hybrid technology already available in the SUSW based Jeeps. (Those particular Jeep models aren't sold here either.)

I am more curious about the Project 291/Ram 1200 pickup. (We Have More Details On Ram's Upcoming Midsized Pickup For Latin America!)
I don't know how popular the Ford Maverick is because of the chip shortage restricting availability. I have had a very brief time behind the wheel. I like the Maverick and wish to see Ram offer something similar north of the Rio Grande. The Mopar Insiders article even mentions a turbocharged version of the 2 liter Tigershark. Instead of a diesel, I would prefer that engine with the 7 speed hybrid dual clutch transmission the other SUSW vehicles offer if sold here.
