Why ute's? whats the appeal?

whippersnapper

 

Never be afraid of scuffing paint.
Scuffing paint is part of ute ownership.
Be a man I say and scuff.

 

i own an older VS ute.

it does what i need it to.
hauls plenty of stuff. (eg no need for bike racks)
on the P Plates the overloading factor is pretty much nil. which is a bonus.

pretty much nowadays it seems to be because "they look good"
which kinda defeats the purpose. but each to their own.

just some side info.
first ute was made because a lady wanted to go to church on sunday and take the pigs to market on monday.
practicality at its best =P

oh and all utes require a dent.
most common place is in the tailgate =P

 

haha ive had 2 mates ask me to help them move with my ute, i said nah too much effort to take the hardlid off lol

 

I can see the appeal of utes, but I've always wondered why there so ####ing expensive, try finding a decent one under 5k.
No chance!

 

yeah. just to the drivers side of centre. :rofl2:

 

My ute has 2 12" pioneer subs behind the seats.

 

yes...........

 

or dead centre from towballs/ hitches/ trailers/ other =P

 

how are you supposed to fit 8 kids in a wagon. any wagon?

 

Yeah....... you have to make sure when you're moving bodies, some aren't still kicking.
And yeah, can't beat a Ute for that.

 

Mine was love at first sight

Cos utes are just mad? Need i say more.....

 

Bike in the back and girl in the passenger seat ready to go racing.Not much beats that!!

 

What are the payloads for the VE utes. 6 cylinder and 8's?

I cannot find them on the Holden website.

 

Downside is 500kg less towing capacity than sedan or wagon... But I love my ute - throw mine and my boy's bikes in the back - no need to take front wheels off or worry about strapping them to racks, load up gear for rugby and the missus has a girlwheeldrive when we need it... And my 7 year gets to sit up front we me on booster seat (for him, not me) he loves it

 

Why a ute cause it's Australian and it's a real mans car I love nothing else but having a ve Maloo best of both worlds 2 door coupe with a large boot very comfy sporty and great on the open road what more do you want ? Stuff driving other people about tell them to get their own ute ! Haha

 

I also just bought a VE sv6 S II. But yes ytes are handy all right

 

Can't beat a ute. After my hq ute I've never owned anything but a ute there the go. I've seem so much of Australia in utes you just pull up and sleep in te back

 

TS-W303's don't count as real subs
