From an Australian (resident's) perspective ... Those are utes! You don't see them about as much as you used to, but they've been big in Australia for decades.

Those are utes! You don't see them about as much as you used to, but they've been big in Australia for decades. Not home-built, and regulated like other cars, but that's what they look like!

(They are also popular with young people, and have a bad rep for causing accidents. This is more because they are usually massively overpowered, and all the weight is on the front.)
- CRConrad 5y agoThey differ in that utes have a pretty large load bed, whereas these are -- or at least were, for the EPA -- allowed to have a maximum of one square meter. (Might be slightly larger for the A?) I assume the reasoning was, so farmers don't try to get the more favourable tax rate for a tractor applied to something they actually use as a pickup truck. Real tractors don't have big load beds either.
