Utility vehicles, or utes, are a versatile choice popular among drivers in Australia and New Zealand.
The ute’s ability to transition from a work vehicle to a family one has led to a growing trend in conversions. These conversions can cater to a diverse range of needs from off-road capabilities to trade vehicles requiring specialised setups.
Let’s take a look at some of the more popular conversions on the market.
