A proper noun

What would be the proper noun for the driver of a ute?  I know that roadhog is applied to the 4WD driver, aggressive roadhogging twit to drivers of those dreadful SUV/civilian military vehicles.  But there has to be a proper noun which evokes everything about a ute driver in exactly the same way that the term "Volvo driver" evokes a certain type of driver.  This is a long-time dilemma of mine, having known many people who drive utes.  So I think the problem is fixed.  Here's the word:

UTENIST

Being, the driver of a ute.  The collective noun would be a consort of utenists.

You need to be careful with the keystroke errors on this one, otherwise you have something quite different.


The last collective noun I heard for a group of these guys was: a mild tuning headache...
