He drives a ute.

Can’t say I understood that

“ute” = “utility vehicle” (small pickup truck)

Never heard of ute before. English learners, be careful what you learn🤔

It is common in Australia. I heard it also in Mexico.
It is used for e.g. a VW Golf with a small truck bed. These cars are popular there.
It is not wrong to learn it, even if neither the car type nor the word is popular on the British Isles.
