Ryan doesn't read his comments!!! How many people have told him how to pronounce UTE!!!!!!!! YOOT

I’m a Holden girl and Ute’s are great but don’t forget the good ol’ Sandman

Ryan likes to troll us Aussies by deliberately mispronouncing words . But it's all good natured . That's my opinion anyhow.

Happy ARVO Ryan! 😁👍 Yes, the Ute was designed by a farming wife in the 1930s depression! Each family was only allowed ONE vehicle because of the petrol shortage, so she created it herself, and it was approved quickly by Ford Australia, then sent to Henry Ford for approval! Australia has always had its own innovations, and world leading designs and skills, we also fed the UK for free during the 1940s to 1960s! It was so sad when Holden discontinued production here, but America still drives Australian designed cars! Look up our Bathurst 1000 races, Targa Tasmania, etc and other Australian vehicles! 🧐🤓😄

You guys don't have Ute's?! Didn't you ever need to drop your pigs off the market, on the way to church? Not even once! That's weird. 🤣

Ryan - here's a bit of Aussie logic when it comes to the American utility vehicles you call 'trucks'. If it's a truck - you need a Truck Driving license to operate it. If you only need a standard Car Driving license to drive your F-100's, etc .. then sorry, we don't call it a truck. So no, we don't call our Utes - trucks.

Think of the Ute as a reverse Mullet, Party in the front, Business in the back. Haha. But it has to be based on a sedan, so a Hilux ain’t no Ute.

Hi Ryan, since the demise of Ford and Holden, and the making of the traditional sedan front/ute rear vehicle - our MOST popular vehicle has become the 4x4 Twin Cab Ute made by the likes of Nissan (Navara), Ford (Raptor) Toyota (Hilux) etc. These have filled the void and are driven by everyone from Tradies and Working Class, to Office Workers and Mums. We love them! Cheers.

As children we used sit in the back of the Ute & slide around while my parents sat in the cabin

Owning a "ute" is a mark of pride & not only for tradies and farmers . They are treated as well as even better than elite vehicle models very popular are the twin cabs useful work and family

The Model A was not the basis for the first Ute. That was a 1934 Ford model B.

Yes Ryan any car/4WD here with a tray to carry stuff in is called a ute - even an F250 or RAM

I watched two UTE drivers get into a stouch at a traffic lights a few days ago.

Happy Arvo Ryan. Chrysler/Dodge made utilities in Australia too.

My dad's old workplace imported Belmonts by the bootload so it was his first car. Old guy said it's tough enough for the oilfields but comfy enough for a weekend trip with my mom

My Dad and his partner bought two brand new Ford Falco 500 Utes for their Plumbing business for $4,000 each in 1971! Dad still had his by the time I learnt to drive and we ahd a small farm. I felt so cool driving it to the beach to go snorkelling! Happy days.

Ute came from Coupe Utility. Initially utes were car based, however they now include light/pick-up trucks like Raptor & Hilux.

So good to see you react to our Utes. Good to see what America 🇺🇸 thinks of them. ‘Ooot’, hahaha 🤣, that cracked me up at the start, glad you got the pronunciation right by the end. lol. 😝. And yep like a baby pickup truck of yours and yep 👍 it was created as something that you could take the family to church on Sunday and then use it for work, on the farm, etc. through the week.

I've got a ute. I've had two before. They're the best. My new one is red, so it goes faster too!

6 people I know have Utes - absolute standard and when anyone moves the group text of 'who's free with a ute' is always sent. Job done 😅
