THE booming popularity of double-cab 4x4 utes fitted with service body-style aluminium canopies on the back has revealed just how versatile these utes can be. Fitting a canopy on the back of a ute gives you the security and accessibility of a wagon with a lot more space, capacity and functionality, making them a perfect touring set-up.
