What do Brits call a ute?

Brits do not commonly use the word ute, which is an Australian and New Zealand term for a utility vehicle based on a passenger car chassis with a cargo tray. In the United Kingdom, the equivalent vehicle is generally called a pickup or pickup truck, especially if it is a larger vehicle like a Ford Ranger or Toyota Hilux with a separate cab and open bed. For smaller, car-based utility vehicles that Australians would call a ute, Brits would typically call it a pickup, a flatbed, or more specifically a pick-up truck, though the car-based ute style was historically less common in the UK than in Australia. In some contexts, particularly for smaller commercial vehicles, Brits might also use the term van, such as a small van or pickup van, or for even smaller car-derived commercial vehicles, a car-derived van. The term ute is understood by some British people due to Australian TV shows and Top Gear, but it is not part of everyday British English. The UK market traditionally had models like the Morris pickup and more recently the Volkswagen Amarok pickup. So if you are in Britain and you say ute, most people will think you mean a utility vehicle and will translate it as pickup truck, which is the standard British term for any open-backed utility vehicle used for work or leisure.
