      Utility, in the context of the automobile market, is a class of vehicles, hence why Australians call pickups “utes”.

      Kai trucks count as utility vehicles, as do american pickup trucks.

      Although, realistically, most pickup trucks sold In the US would better be described as “premium” or “luxury” vehicles given that most people buying them are not using them for off roading, hauling or towing, but rather as “life style” vehicles and status symbols.
