I don’t understand how this has come into our language in the last 5 years. Before that no one called a Holden one tonner a ute! They were always a “tonner”, short for one tonner. A ute was a ute and a van a van.
Probably just blame the internet for proliferation of mistakes I guess.
Its the same with certain people calling station wagons ( Longroofs its the youth of today) next time i hear a wagon called that im gunna slap them in the face with a chair
