Tray Size and Configuration
Shorter Tray: Because dual cab utes have a larger cabin, their trays are typically shorter compared to single or extra cab models. This configuration is ideal for users who need more passenger space but still require a functional cargo area.
Adjustable Tray Options: Dual cab ute trays come in various sizes and configurations to suit the vehicle’s dimensions, often with modular or customizable options to make up for the reduced tray length.

Steel Trays: Steel trays offer higher durability and are ideal for heavy-duty use, though they add more weight, impacting payload and fuel efficiency.

Customisation and Accessories
Toolboxes and Under-Tray Storage: Side-mounted toolboxes or under-tray drawers maximise storage without taking up valuable tray space, perfect for trades or rural work.
Canopies: A popular addition, canopies enclose the tray, offering protection for tools or cargo and providing secure storage. Options range from basic covers to fully lockable, weatherproof canopies.
Ladder Racks and Headboards: Useful for tradespeople and rural workers, these features allow for secure vertical transport of equipment like ladders, pipes, or fencing materials.
Side Steps and Tie-Down Points: Essential for load security, tie-down rails and hooks prevent cargo from shifting. Side steps make it easier to access the tray.

Load Capacity and Usage
With a dual cab, the extra cabin weight affects the payload capacity, but dual cab trays can still handle substantial loads. They’re ideal for mixed-use scenarios where both passenger transport and moderate cargo capacity are needed.
Suitable for urban and rural settings, dual cab trays are especially popular for tradespeople, contractors, and families needing a versatile vehicle that can handle both work and recreational activities.

Rural and Agricultural Applications
Dual cab utes are commonly used on farms and for rural work due to their versatility. They’re ideal for transporting materials like fencing supplies, tools, or feed while also allowing for family or crew transport.
With added accessories like canopies or toolboxes, they become even more functional for agriculture and farming tasks.
