Utes under $30k
While tradies might be faced with slim pickings in the utes under $30k category at the moment, the space is expected to grow in years to come – especially if utes in general continue to explode in popularity as they currently are.
Most offerings will be cab-chassis models with limited dual-cab utes available. You’ll be limited in terms of specification and engine options with choices lacking a few must-haves, and most options will be from emerging Chinese car brands, but there’s still supremely capable metal hiding in the utes under $30k segment.
