Ute Tray FAQs
Ute trays are not all the same size. TUFF Australia manufactures ute trays to suit single cabs, extra cabs and dual cabs for a variety of vehicle makes and models.
When it comes to TUFF Outback & Fleet Ute Trays, there is no typical or standard size, as it’s dependent upon what make and model your ute is.
Many common utility vehicles have similar size ute trays, including the Toyota Hilux, Toyota 70 Series, Ford Ranger, Nissan Navara, Mazda BT50, Isuzu D-Max, plus many more.
There are also TUFF tray options for American trucks such as Dodge Ram, Ford F-Trucks and GM Chevy Silverado etc. These big truck tray dimensions are obviously larger and vary in size as well.
TUFF ute trays are available in steel or alloy and can be optioned to suit the owner’s particular requirements with toolboxes, water tanks, beacons, work lights, rear racks, headboard mesh, slide-out drawers, diesel fuel tanks, bike ramps, tie-down points and canopies – the list of personalisation options for your rig just goes on.
Ute trays made by TUFF Australia are manufactured in Toowoomba, Queensland. Prices for ute trays start from $4858 for TUFF fleet ute trays or from $5580 for TUFF outback steel or alloy ute trays.
Choosing a ute tray comes down to your personal requirements and the purpose of your ute tray. For example, if you are a tradesman and need your ute tray for work, you might choose different options than someone who needs a ute tray for their weekend adventures.
The TUFF sales team can help you choose the best type of tray for your circumstances.
When considering the best material for a ute tray, it’s important to consider your needs and how the ute tray will be used. A steel ute tray is considered to be a more heavy-duty tray compared to an aluminium ute tray. If you live by the ocean it is best to go with the alloy ute tray option to avoid rust.
When considering whether to choose a steel or aluminium ute tray, it really comes down to the purpose of your tray. All TUFF ute tray options are heavy-duty and fully welded trays. Aluminium is a lighter option whereas steel is lower cost.
The weight of a ute tray is dependent upon the material your tray is made from. Steel ute trays weigh from 400kg, steel fleet ute trays weigh from 300kg and aluminium ute trays weigh from 250kg.
The weight of your tray will affect the payload or GVM (gross vehicle mass), that your vehicle can carry – the more your tray weighs the less you can load in your tray. This is because the vehicle is only rated to a certain weight (GVM) which includes the total amount a vehicle can carry altogether.
The GVM needs to include passengers, fuel, the ute tray and any tools or equipment loaded in the ute.
There are many benefits to having a tray on your ute. Ute trays offer more capacity than tubs, they provide storage, versatility, and room for tools and equipment. Ute trays are suitable for tradesmen, and can also be fitted with toolboxes to provide extra storage and protection for tools. Or if you’re an adventurer, camper or 4×4 enthusiast you can also attach dog boxes to take your furry friends with you safely.
