The Fiat 241 was offered in parallel to the Fiat 238. The 241 is a rear-wheel drive, as the 238 was front-wheel drive. The engine in the 241 was centrally located in the cab and not like the 238 under the passenger bench. Thus, it was only two-seater. It had two engine options: petrol (1481 cc OHV, derived from 1500C) from the Fiat passenger car 124 producing 51 hp. with a 4 speed gearbox and diesel (1.9ltr, 1,895 cc, the same as Campagnola producing 47 bhp).

With independent front suspension with coil springs and semi-elliptic springs at the rear supported by telescopic dampers and anti-roll bars at both ends.[1] The total length of the vehicle was just over 15 ft, with a wheelbase of 7.6 ft and loading area of 9.4 ft by 5.4 ft. Available in drop-side, platform and pickup versions. It was later replaced by the Fiat 242.[2]
