Single, Extra or Double Cab: Which Ute Suits You?
Maximum Tray & Payload
Seating for two with the longest tray on offer, built for tradies and businesses that need maximum load space and payload capacity above all else.
Extra Storage, Same Tray Length
Adds a small rear space behind the front seats for tools, bags or a jump seat, while keeping most of a single cab's tray length. A good middle ground between work and everyday practicality.
Work & Family in One
Full rear seating for four adults plus a shorter tray, making it the most popular choice for buyers who want a ute that works during the week and doubles as a family vehicle on weekends.
What to Know Before Buying a Used Ute
Most utes sold in New Zealand run on diesel, which means they're subject to road user charges (RUC) in addition to the price you pay at the pump. This is worth budgeting for alongside fuel, but diesel utes typically offer strong fuel economy for their size and towing ability, especially on the open road.
Towing capacity varies significantly by model, cab type and drivetrain, so always check the specific vehicle's braked towing rating rather than assuming based on badge or size alone, particularly if you're planning to tow a boat, trailer or caravan regularly. The same goes for GVM (gross vehicle mass) and payload if you're loading tools, materials or gear for work, as these figures also vary between single, extra and double cab versions of the same model.
If you're considering a ute for business use, FBT (fringe benefit tax) treatment can depend on how the vehicle is used and set up, so it's worth checking with your accountant on how a specific ute would be treated for your situation.
Every ute we sell goes through the same servicing and safety checks as the rest of our stock. Applicable imported vehicles also complete entry compliance through VINZ and Drivesure before they're offered for sale.

Ute FAQs
What's the difference between a single, extra and double cab ute?
A single cab seats two and has the longest tray, ideal for maximum payload. An extra (or king) cab adds a small rear storage space while keeping most of the tray length. A double cab seats four in full comfort with a shorter tray, making it the most popular choice for a ute that covers both work and family use.
Do utes pay road user charges in NZ?
Most utes run on diesel, so yes, they're subject to road user charges (RUC) in addition to the diesel price at the pump. This is worth factoring into your running cost budget alongside fuel and servicing.
How much can a used ute tow?
Braked towing capacity varies by model, cab type and drivetrain, generally ranging from around 2,500kg up to 3,500kg on most popular double cab utes. Always check the specific vehicle's rated towing capacity rather than assuming based on the model name alone.
Is a ute a good vehicle for business use?
Utes are a popular choice for tradies and small businesses thanks to their payload and towing ability. FBT treatment can depend on how the vehicle is used, so we'd recommend checking with your accountant on how a specific ute would be treated for your business.
Are imported and used utes reliable?
Utes from brands like Toyota, Ford, Mazda and Nissan have a strong reliability track record in New Zealand conditions. Applicable imported vehicles we sell complete entry compliance through VINZ and Drivesure before going on the yard.
Can I get finance on a used ute?
Yes. We offer car finance on our ute stock through UDC Finance, Finance Now, Marac Car Loans and MTF, with same-day approvals available for most customers and no deposit required for eligible applicants.
