I haven't heard "Ute" used much in America except to refer to the Native American tribe. I'm not sure what the official word for a car-based pickup would be, but colloquially people have used the suffix -amino as in the Chevrolet El Camino. So if someone chopped the roof off of a Volvo station wagon and made it into a pickup it would be a Volvamino.
That's kinda cute I guess. I feel like I hear Americans refer to them as trucks which doesn't feel right to me.
I want a Kei truck, which people wouldn't call a Ute here
