Good pick-up !  (See what I did there...  :whistling: )


A mate moved from here to the wilds of British Columbia and bought one of those big trucks they love so much over there. Dodge Ram or F250 or something like that.

He didn't like the tub rear much so he wanted to put a tray on it - as is very common here.  Over there, nobody had a clue what he was talking about.

So ironically he imported a tray made for that ute in Australia, to Canada to put on a locally purchased vehicle.

The locals reckon it's really cool because of how functional it is.


For those wondering what I mean.

Some call them Tars! So versatile - gave my '03 to the Son-in-Law.
260kms and still a very nice ride served me for 11 years!

Car type painted bodywork for the back = Style Side.

Aluminium (or some times steel) flat tray with drop sides = Tray Back.

I've had both and worked them hard.
Style sides look nice but I wouldn't buy another, nowhere near as useful as a tray.
