I have seen a few chargers converted in the US to pickup trucks and now a civic. Who is going to convert their merc or bmw into a pickup truck?

People want to be different, and get attention. Some get fake boobs, some turn their cars ugly.

BMW also did a E9X M3 Ute special for their collection as well years ago.

Poor man's Wrangler. All the utility and none of the cool. Add a rollcage and removable front doors and boom, there you are. Same powertrain and everything.This quote is hidden because you are ignoring this member. Show Quote
owned by an '08 n00b! LOL
Co-worker purchased a 325I Sedan, and converted it to a pick up. Roll cage and all. Was such a hooptie. And then painted it bright yellow. Was a winter beater but ugh

Well imagine if instead of writing that letter to the editor, she just posts on a car forum for car enthusiasts. That's Kritafo.

They know they need/want something resembling a truck but their egos won't let them just go buy a normal pickup truck like a normal person.

I'm in Mexico working right now and those UTE style vehicles are everywhere.
Seems like every manufacturer has a version. The Dodge Ram Version looks sharp imo...

The Aussies love their utes but unfortunately in North America, the bloatmobile is the promoted choice for most consumers. Not surprised that a few paid insane amounts for a conversion.
For use within the city, trucks are a dumb idea overall, and the rest of the world seems to get this - just not here. Thats where the utes come in.
Low ride height, V8 with 6spd and a bed to haul things around the city.
