Did you know?

Back in the days, the Australian “ute” used to be a two-door vehicle that is based on the chassis of the passenger car. Today, the term is used for a truck or a pickup rather than the body style of the vehicle.


The first automotive company that manufactured an Australian ute is Ford. The reason why they created that vehicle is about pigs. That's right, a farmer's wife from Victoria wrote a letter asking for a vehicle that can carry their pigs to the market and at the same bring them to church.

Ute has become part of the Australian culture especially in the rural areas. They even hold events such as ute muster, where ute owners gather to show off their truck.

There's a racing series for utilities and it's called V8 Ute Racing Series, where you can find slightly modified utes racing like the Australian Production Car Championship (CAMS).
