American Hot Rod just f.cked it ... That red 1931 Ford hotrod is not a pickup, it is a ute. It really amazes me why folk here and there can't get the terms right :-( Pickup truck != Coupe Utility.

It's a w.nk American TV show. > Pickup truck != Coupe Utility. Only in your f.cked mind. In Australia, it's a ute. In *America* the same thing is called a pick-up. They have no such thing as a "ute", just like we have no such thing as a "pick-up". Go ask a few yanks about an El Camino or Ranchero "ute" and see how many laughs you get :) -- Regards, Noddy. > "the_dawggie" <the_dawg...@hotmail.com> wrote in message > [quoted text clipped - 15 lines] > Go ask a few yanks about an El Camino or Ranchero "ute" and see how many > laughs you get :) I don't care. I have a phobia about it, they are very different types of vehicles. Hey the 'rolla Hatchback is a Sedan? right? A Facadore wagon is a Sadan right? A truck is a truck and a Coupe utility is a Coupe Utility. "the_dawggie" <the_dawggie@hotmail.com> wrote in message news:5713ae91-5ce8-4ecc-99e6- > I don't care.

And you are a f.cking imbecile. -- Regards, Noddy. 'Ute' is Australian English for a car-based coupe utility of unitary construction, no matter what country it comes from. That of course includes certain foreign cars such as the El Camino, Ranchero, and even the Proton Jumbuck. Other varieties of English will use other terms instead of 'ute'. > 'Ute' is Australian English for a car-based coupe utility of unitary > construction, no matter what country it comes from.

And it's moronic to use American-English terms like SUV (Suburban Utility Vehicle) in Australia where "utility" means a totally different type of vehicle.

Yep. -- Regards, Noddy. > 'Ute' is Australian English for a car-based coupe utility of unitary > construction, no matter what country it comes from.

I fail to see that a full ladder chassis vehicle with a separate bed or tray to be a Coupe Utility. They are very different. Not car based, they are a pickup truck - then you go upwards from there to truck, or (lorry - not that I like that term). > I fail to see that a full ladder chassis vehicle with a separate > bed or tray to be a Coupe Utility.

I've never heard of an Australian vehicle called a pick-up but I know what a truck is, and the things you're referring to don't look like trucks to me. Is "one-tonner" the name you're looking for?

I believe the Ford version cracked and fell apart. >> 'Ute' is Australian English for a car-based coupe utility of unitary >> construction, no matter what country it comes from.

How about 1 ton Kingswood *UTES* then? they have a full ladder chassis with seperate tray and its called a *UTE*. My HZ Kingswood ute is a ute not a pickup and its got a full ladder chassis, has the same front half as the wagon or sedan which are cars. So here we have a car based full ladder chassis ute, you going to call these pickups as well??

Thats the first time I've ever heard the term "coupe utility" in the last 56yrs. To everyone I know my Hilux is just as much a ute as my sons Commodore, even my American mate calls it a ute.

"Pickup truck" is the 'Merikun term and "Ute" is the Aus term for THE **SAME THING**. -- Potayto,Potahto |
