Vehicles that are called 'utes' typically refer to passenger vehicles with a cargo tray in the rear. The term 'utes' is believed to be an abbreviation for 'utility' or 'coupe utility'. The term was originally used in Australia, New Zealand, and South Africa. A vehicle with a 'well-back' and drop-down tailgate weighing more than 2.5 tonnes, such as a Ford F250 well-back, would be called a 'ute'.
