Utes

US pick-up maker Ram will expand its portfolio to include a new dual-cab electric ute sized similarly to the Toyota HiLux and Ford Ranger – underpinned by a car-derived platform shared with everything from large Jeep SUVs to a high-performance Dodge muscle car.

UPDATE, 23 June 2021: Toyota has continued the 2022 Toyota Tundra's teaser campaign with a first look at the new pick-up's interior. While the image released by Toyota only shows the top of the Tundra's cabin, a 12.3-inch touchscreen shared with the new LandCruiser can be seen mounted to the dashboard, while the red marker atop the steering wheel suggests we're looking at the off-road-focused TRD Pro model.

The 2022 Toyota Tundra has been unveiled in the first official image, following a handful of leaked screenshots posted online overnight – though there's still no clear indication of whether it will come to Australia.

The 2022 Ford Maverick has been teased for the first time ahead of its unveiling next week – but a set of leaked images have already spoiled the reveal surprise: a hybrid badge fitted to the tailgate. A pair of leaked images posted on the Maverick Truck Club forum show Ford's new sub-Ranger ute in full ahead of its reveal on 8 June 2021 at 8pm AEST, confirming the boxy, truck-like look first seen in leaked images taken on the Maverick's production line last year.

Hot on the heels of the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning's debut last week, Ford has taken the wraps off the entry-level, commercial-focused version of its electric ute: the 2022 Ford F-150 Lightning Pro.
