DO YOU KNOW WHY UTES RULE
There was a time when the Ute was a fairly humble vehicle. Invented in the 1930s to carry toolboxes and dogs, it morphed in the 1990s to a throaty V8 to be driven fast. Then a decade ago, tax concessions on commercial vehicles encouraged fleet buyers to buy Utes. Thanks to marketing, we were persuaded that Utes are not just for tradies. They are for anyone who wants a versatile vehicle.

Utes are good for carrying stuff

The Ute has come a long way from carrying toolboxes and dogs. It still does, albeit with the dog tied on rather than wandering around the tray. Now its owner can carry any large, unwieldy items, like surfboards, bikes, or beds. Young people borrow a Ute when they move house and they don’t have to worry about leaving a scratch.
