⭐Do YOU own a Holden UTE? Well if you do, or if you just happen to have a car with some aftermarket wheels, don't forget to add your ride to our gallery! It's the easiest way to be featured on our channel! bit.ly/2VSCRTT
This week's episode sits more on the rare side of the world for the car scene. Holden is a car manufacturer that Australia was once proud to call their own. They produced cars for over 100 years, but in the 2000s they turned a commonly used utility truck into a monster of the streets. The Holden UTE for almost 2 decades put smiles on almost anyone who came across one. It's weird, it looks like something that belongs on a farm, but take a ride in one and you be telling people you want to own a Holden UTE.

The "Buick" V6 as they called it was a bucket of shit for power, the alloytec was ok but no torque, owned two of both of them... before buying my Ute. I always hoped Holden would get the twin turbo variation that GM put in the caddies of the time tho but sadly of course no, because Holden couldn't have something Caddy had, it would cheapen the brand.

But I'd definitely own another one if I could find a GK1FL with a Beta in it. Sadly they didn't release the Betas here in GK1FL form.

And as an added bonus, they keep going up in value since Holden closed down. Keeping it for life.

    It was the Aussie dollar rising too much in value and US vehicle tax laws that stopped it. Holden wouldn't have made enough from them because of the strong Aussie dollar, and it was going to be taxed as a commercial vehicle in the states, so they would have been more expensive than the G8 Holden was selling from the same production line at the time.

I'd love a ford ute in Newfoundland. Left hand drive, lower the power a bit and raise the suspension a fair amount so it's about the height of a station wagon.

    What do I think of the Holden Ute? I bloody well own one mate! They're sick. Mine's a VE 1.5 with the 3.6 V6, but fun fact, underneath it's _absolutely identical_ to the 5th gen camaro, even down to the rear subframes being the same. Only difference is the body panels. They share a platform called the Zeta Platform. Just quote Camaro PNs to find the parts you need. Only bits you'll really struggle with on a Ute are the tailshaft (Which you can source from a Caprice PPV) and interior bits (Which you can source the front door trims, centre console, dash parts and any non-specific parts from a G8 and the rest such as the rear panel, carpets and B pillar trims will have to come from Straya.) In saying that, what's your shipping like to Australia? I'd love to give some of your wheels a crack since I'm looking for something that looks a bit like Work CR Kiwamis but I don't really want to pay CR Kiwami prices for them.

    To clear things up for people that dont get it, A commodore is definitely not a G8 or an SS with holden badges... Holden designed and manufactured the Commodore and Ute for Australia and GM rebadged it and swapped the steering over. They came with varying engine sizes, starting with a 5.0l in the 90s, then 5.7, 6.0, 6.2, and even at one point a 7.0l. Utes are notorius for getting wrapped around trees because of the very light rear end and generally very powerful motors.

    The term ‘ute’ came from the word ‘utility’, and is not limited to Holden or even Ford in Australia and New Zealand. The term relates to vehicles that have car like interiors and comfort on the road, but have the capability for carrying a load as well. Utes come in well deck, flat deck styles and can have canopies too. In many ways even Dodge Ram, Ford F150, Chev 1500 etc are also utes, not ‘trucks’ too. It’s just that these style vehicles in Oz and NZ are more commonly called a Ute.
