Ever since Holden released the first FX Ute back in 1948, Australians have had a love affair with their utes. Gone are the days of your humble tradie using a ute just for work, in 2014 it feels like the 4x4 dual cab ute has become the family car of choice. Head out to any camp ground in summer or down to your local boat ramp and you will see dozens of them.
