GM’s Australian division, Holden, has unveiled its new line-up of VE Utes. Based on the VE Commodore, this is the first all-new Ute since the VU was introduced in 2000. Engine choices range from a 255 horsepower 3.6 liter V6 to a range-topping 362 horsepower 6.0 liter V8.
Transmissions also come in a wide variety and include a four, five, and six-speed automatic, the latter being reserved for the V8, with a six-speed manual being available on all models. There have been rumors that the VE Ute will make it to U.S. shores as a new Chevrolet El Camino, although nothing has been confirmed. Pricing and gallery after the jump.
