Having fled to the bush for two weeks of R'n'R, thought I'd ask people who
know more than I do about utes...
I'm told that you can have either a tray-back ute (all three sides can be
flipped down) or a style-sided ute (both sides are rigid, back can open);
bed would be used here in talking 'bout a truck, not a ute - "unless you're
a yank".
So bed is used for tray by you guys in the US? (Mind you, the tray would get
a bit of use as a bed at the odd B&S here, too, so in at least one sense the
terms are interchangable...)

Hey, you have a problem with Brooklyn-esque speaking?
and Mari, it's not a carry tray, it's a bed...

Hey, there's no use in agruing with her about it, I've tried...
I have to go load a UPS in my UTE's carry tray and then, Bob's your Uncle,
I'm off on the road for the day...
