Default Re: Cape York Run

For the benefit of American readers, we call utes like the one above a "Plumber's Ute". It is different from many of the others in that the sides of the tray allow the plumber to carry long lengths of pipe along the (passenger's) side of the car with the front end resting on a bracket attached to the front bumper.
(Another option I have used to achieve this is to drive the car over the pipe and tie it to the front and rear bumpers, then drive.)
