Am I right in thinking a Ute is distinct from a Pickup in that a Ute is more of a "car" spec, ie better finished in the cab, where as a Pickup is more "truck" spec?

Tom you also had "Utes in England , Austin & Morris -A55 & A60 , Mini utes & a few others from the BMC group.
I work on all them British nightmares growing up in NZ.
