Pickup truck

A pickup truck is a light truck with an open-top cargo area with fairly short rigid sides and an opening rear gate. They are known in Australia and New Zealand as a ute or utility (from "utility vehicle") and in Israel as a "tender". Panel vans, a kind of van, popular in Australia during the 1970s, were based on a ute chassis.

The design details of such vehicles vary significantly, and different nationalities seem to specialise in different style and size of vehicles. For instance, North American pickups come both in full-size (large, heavy vehicles with big V6 or V8 engines) and compact (smaller trucks generally equipped with inline 4 or V6 engines).
