Think its only the big-name players like Toyota, Ford, Nissan, Mitsubishi, Mazda and Isuzu that do utes? Think again, because enter the Tata Xenon.
Starting life in 2006 and predominately aimed at Southeast Asian markets like Thailand and its home-market of India (as well as being sold in parts of Europe), the Tata Xenon is a proper ladder-frame chassis workhorse.
Being an emerging market model, the Xenon is offered with a choice of petrol or diesel powertrains making as little as 86kW.
The line-up currently starts at $14,630 for the Xenon (4X2) and ranges through to $25,630 for the range-topping Xenon (4X4).
