As we Aussies invented this vehicle type, WE GET TO NAME IT! We called it the UTE! And that's the name that should stick!

@nickrustyson8124 Those "utes" based on Model-T Fords were more than 90% likely modified by the owners who bought them. Henry Ford himself would've baulked at the idea of converting his beloved "Tin Lizzie" into a "ute".

@nickrustyson8124 Volvo never put it into fulltime production, so the credit for invention of the Ute stays firmly with us Aussies.

@roadwolf8026 There was NO god to create us, we are EVOLVED! And the blinding light is the sun, a massive ball of gas.

Veganmoronfreezone Mr Meat Eater Though I'd be more inclined to go for a drive in the country, rather than waste precious minutes in church, listening to utter bullshit from an idiot preacher.

@johnnywadd3020 That's just a reworking of the word "Utility"!

@StephenGallaherNZ What I'm saying is that the "Utility Vehicle" or "Ute" as it's called, was first invented, developed and built in Australia then the idea was copied by other countries. It came about because farmers wanted a vehicle to carry produce to market on Saturdays and then attend any social events on Sundays. America's so-called "pick-ups" owe their design to Australia's "Ute" so they also should be called "utes".

@petersargeant1555 It wasn't the Model 'T', it was the later model 'A' that was modified.

@A_Haunted_Pancake Nothing wrong with Public education! It's the pricks who go to private schools who think they're better than everyone else!

@johnwitkowski8462 Even when the Yanks had nothing to do with creating a device or whatever, they'll still steal the credit for it.

@StephenGallaherNZ The idea was Australian! The first prototype "Utes" were built HERE IN AUSTRALIA! You Americans just can't stand any other country being first with ANYTHING!

@gilesflower By the Strictest definition, they WERE utes. The word "Ute" was coined in Australia as short for "Utility". This type of vehicle was Aussie-invented and Aussie-conceived! We invented it so WE GET TO NAME IT!

@na3044 No! We stick with the name Ute as we Aussies named them because WE INVENTED THIS TYPE OF VEHICLE!!!
1
@na3044 We took your car, cut off the back passenger seat and back half of the cabin, put on a tabletop tray, and improved it a bit further by adding sides and rear tailgate, and the UTE was born in Australia! The purpose, for farmers to carry produce to the markets on Saturdays, and on Sundays go for a drive in the countryside! Who'd want to waste 2 hours in a useless old hall, listening to an idiot preaching utter bullshit?

@shepleonard8695 Nah, the Ute is Definitely Australian! America just cannot accept any other country outdoing them on anything. They always have to take credit, even if they have to steal it.

@shepleonard8695 Google can not always be relied on when it comes to history. The Very first Ute was built in Australia when a farmer cut off the rear passenger section of a Model-A Ford and replaced it with a tabletop tray so he could take his produce to market on Saturdays and go to social activities on Sundays. Ford Australia saw what the farmer had done and refined the idea to what became the first official Ute(utility). You Americans just hate it when another country comes up with an idea you lot didn't think of yourselves.

@simracingeverythin5832 Regardless of the brand(Holden, Ford, Chrysler, Toyota, etc.) and regardless of size, up to a point, they are ALL Utes!(Ute = shortform word meaning Utility Vehicle). The first "Ute" was created by an Australian farmer in the 1920s because he needed something to take produce to market on Saturdays and take his wife and family to church on Sundays(the latter being a waste of time as they could've been out, enjoying the natural world on a Sunday drive).

@johnnymason2460 I suppose you think the world is only 6,000 years old. The Aboriginals of Australia were here for 65 thousand years, MINIMUM! Evolution IS INDEED FACT! And god is a figment of primitive imagination, nothing more!

@stevetournay6103 Canadians are well-educated, unlike the Americans!

The "Ute" is indeed an Aussie invention! The Yanks would never have come up with this idea on their own! The concept is simple, a comfortable cabin and a tray at the back. The idea, to take sheep or hay, or other produce to market on a Saturday, and on Sunday, go for a drive in the country(let's not waste precious time listening to fuckwit preachers spewing out their religious rubbish dogma).

@nickrustyson8124 Trucks, or "Lorries" as they're correctly called, were much larger vehicles built on what would be an omnibus chassis. Utes are built basically on a smaller sedan chassis, and it was the Australian arm of Ford which invented the "Ute" and put it into fulltime production.
1
@nickrustyson8124 I'm referring to the same, but as Australia invented the vehicle type, then Australia gets to name it.. America just wants to steal the credit for other countries' inventions.
1
@nickrustyson8124 It is a UTE, It was invented in Australia! Even if America doesn't "take the credit" for the ute's invention, America always assumes to know better than every other country and wants to change the names of things to suit themselves. This is part of America's arrogance and conceit!
