The ‘kei’ cars and trucks are growing in popularity in the U.S. But many states have explicitly banned them in recent years. A bill at the statehouse would allow them on Colorado roads.
Utility, in the context of the automobile market, is a class of vehicles, hence why Australians call pickups “utes”.
