What is a ute?
that looks... surprisingly acceptable in size compared to those american style bullshit vehicles appearing on the sidewalks here in europe?
Traditional Australian utes were just passenger cars with the back chopped off. So they had the same footprint as passenger cars with the same safe front style and efficient practical design. Then the American pickup trucks arrived, stole the term "ute", and now proper utes are extremely rare.
First the libs dismantled the Aussie car industry
then the wank tanks arrived
well they have these as well and they are more and more popular
This is too small for me
Aussies created the category of vehicles with trays. Ute = UTILITY VEHICLE. Yanks fucked it up and morphed it into "trucks" - the monstrosities of emotional support vehicles you see today.
