Ute is a three-letter term for a rugged vehicle that is used in sports. It is a type of utility vehicle, usually with an open back, and is often used for off-road activities such as hunting, camping, and fishing. Utes are also popular for recreational activities such as beach trips and mountain biking. They are typically equipped with four-wheel drive and have a higher ground clearance than other vehicles, making them well-suited for navigating rough terrain.
