I had the old Mazda BT50 / Ranger now , I have purchased rhe new BT50 GT , vast improvement over the older version , very pleased with it , can't go wrong.
How can two ute’s be built on the same platform and be so far apart that Mazda looks amazing!

I am disappointed about the style of the taillights. They really look cheap and don't match Mazda's new design language. I know, that there are some design limits from the Isuzu platform, but something more appealing, like 2 circular lights or some stripes should be possible. I also miss a full-LED option.
To stop the pings and bongs when driving just change the setting to Visual only - turn the Audible off. You only need to do it once, not every time you get in the vehicle. 👍 These new BT50s are a great unit, sweet ride for a work Ute 👍👌
Slartibartfast Jnr Not needed but nice in the mountains during winter. -5C or colder is not cold by northern hemisphere standards but a regular feature in our alpine areas. ...it’s mainly because of the trend to leather seats. Fabric seats, no heating required.
Great point about Ford improving and updating the ranger platform. Sales have shown the results of fords efforts. Me personally I'd sooner buy a second hand ute and build an off roader. Hope shopping centre car parks size improve they seem to be getting narrow. Great review

Completely disagree. But I'm in the States, where everything is designed to look like a shipping container with wheels. People around here buy massive hulks to do daily driving and transport furniture once a year. We desperately need small, comfortable vehicles with beds, but you cannot find them.
@@chooseymomschoose Yes. I agree. Lived in Louisville '80 '81 working study and flying & with a young family. Owned a $1500 ultra low mileage Mercury Grand Marquis Brougham, 19 feet long and 7777cc V8. Too big, but cushion like ride. Even recently when I visit The States (not during Covid19), very big SUV's are a big feature. In our Northern Territory, we've got 'road trains', which are the usual Huge trucks with multiple trailers. Agree that small 'city' cars are great but, now they have to have so much safety tech., it's hard to justify the price.
Mazda would have done better if they had kept to them self and not team up with isuzu , because they have wat it takes and they are better than isuzu by far they just laked confidence in them self, the back of that truck Looks cheap and old
Wildtrack ride seemed harsh over rough country roads, 40 kms made me feel nauseous, 2lt had plenty of power, well finished but couldn't put up with the ride quality, salesman was quick to slag off the Dmax, he hadn't done his homework so I wouldn't have bought from him. Amorok has great power, ride was a bit harsh but liveable, interior has a lot of hard plastic and is due for an update, small info screen and indicators / wipers being on the opposite sides was a deal breaker for me. I'm a bit biased, I've had 2 Isuzu based utes over the last 20 years (TD Rodeo and RC Colorado) both have been trouble free with hard farm use.
@@samf3u565 you can turn them off, but you need to do it every time you start the car. Ridiculous. I actually find the lane change assist to be that intrusive and overbearing, it is actually dangerous.
@@JDMEVOVIGSR but I'm sure Isuzu and Mazda will iron out any niggles that arise in the new models, to be fair there will always be the odd 1 or 2 things with brand new model release ( like any other manufacturer) and update patches will surely be integrated at some stage when going in for routine service intervals .👍🏻
for the price that mazda expect its customers to pay, would rather save dollars and get the original Dmax, new BT50 is definitely the She-max of the collaboration
@@lukeskywlkr3638 ......sighhhh u must focus on the diffrential of the car....(why did they put the isuzu engine in the mazda...that is a discrce for the mazda)
It’s funny when looking at what is available in the range of utes. I wouldn’t actually buy a Mazda or an Isuzu. Not because they aren’t good. but because they are almost (and I say this with hesitation, lol. Knock offs?). Car yards do this a lot “the Isuzu is based on wildtrak” and “Mazda is based on the Isuzu”. And yes you guys say the same thing. So why wouldn’t I just buy a wildtrak? Or in Mazda’s case an Isuzu? They have both waited a little to long to upgrade. with this idea that they are based on more popular models... yeah nah, I’m hearing that and thinking, no worries, I’ll go look at Ford :)

Jürg Hölzle I have to say I agree with you 100%
Con Verdis Not bad if there’s only the taillights to dislike.
P T a much better effort than the now previous BT50 .
Mazda will look to address these gripes hopefully when they do the model revisions/facelifts but they could have done this from the onset...
Grab a sledgehammer and smash them.

You just made my day...
The BT-50 has a nice understated look not to in your face it’s just perfect
The most beautiful ute
Why would anyone in Australia need heated seats? Ventilated seats would be a far more sensible option!
The Isuzu is the better Ute.
Better speak to your dad - he was fond of coastlines. Australia gets pretty chilly down south.
CarAdvice.com: Not that chilly!
@@II-yd6gx heated seats are for sooks, i live down south, just gotta put on a jumper, sorted
No this is the better Ute

BT50 for class

Am choosing bt 50 its my favorite as I would like to upgrade from the one am using now
BT- 50 : Motor: 4 Cilindros :
3.0 L - Turbo - Diesel : Top -
Torque : 450 Nm ; Top -
Potência - Força : Top - Model : Designer ; Top :
Pick- up : MAZDA .
Cup holders under the air vents, D-max wins my vote.
When will the Ute market move into the latter half of the 20th century and install disc brakes all round?
Buy a Raptor
At $76K no thanks
Chris from Katunga Seemingly too difficult with leaf springs...
Hey my Mazda 2 Genki still has drum rear brakes! All my Mazda’s have warped the front rotors! Wonder why!! The Flintstones had better brakes!
Im going the BT-50 for the drive, I do mega km's and the interior is better suited for me
You thought of me was BT50, But It was ME!!! DMAX!
Lol your definitely the best ute man.....you look so cool to me man.....all these utes are like tortoise there engines are obsolete
Jojo's reference
ผมชอบ Mazda Bt-50 มากๆ ปัจจุบันผมยังใช้ Mazda BT-50 Pro FSC-2.2 ปี 2013 ครับ
I love the facelift it's cool😎😎
Seriously, $50k for a mini truck? With a 4 banger?
Which has a quieter cabin? dmax or the bt50?
Lovely...
Nice truck
I prefer the BT-50 but D Max looks more badass
Maybe mercedes series-x will have it better if continued on the dmax. I mean NV-300 nissan was outdated since 2015
Isuzu dmax and Mazda storng
I just can’t get over the smiley face of the BT-50, I much prefer the dmax.
Its not a pickup its a ute.
Not a real criticism. But I do think a Mazda grille looks a bit 'naf' on a vehicle where it's amid the tough ute crowd.

Dmax X Terrain just looks badass compared to this. Shame Mazda don't offer a more aggressive looking version
V-Max!

Isuzu dmax is all around
Review it against a wildtrack. Brother vs brother 😂
Step- brother? 😂😂
Drove both yesterday, Dmax is a much better ride over rough country roads
@@geoffmcleod6612 Interested to hear more about your tests please...? Anything else that was vastly different between them? thnx

Didn't drive a BT50 but it should be identical apart from some cosmetics
The lane change assist and brake assist is an absolute pain in the ass. I hate my D-max because of it!
Is it possible to turn them off?
@@samf3u565 you can turn them off, but you need to do it every time you start the car. Ridiculous. I actually find the lane change assist to be that intrusive and overbearing, it is actually dangerous.

الجوده واضحه في المواد التصنيع
Being that they are both really a DMAX, I would pick the DMAX for 2 reasons. 1 It is actually a DMAX. 2 the DMAX looks better.
- sighs in American -
I have one wouldnt recommend it for towing or load in rear
just on looks alone, the D-Max wins hands down ... BT-50 looks boring
for the price that mazda expect its customers to pay, would rather save dollars and get the original Dmax, new BT50 is definitely the She-max of the collaboration
Prefer looks of Dmax
Its the d Max for me
Bec it looks more agressive and has more power
More power? 🤷♂️ Its the exact same engine!

@@yashplays1690 Ok. I respect your opinion. You do you fella. 👍 And I'll stick with my Raptor.

The embleem on the tailgate...looks aftermarktet...chineze...!!! A ute with yhe isuzu dmax xterrain exterior..and interior of the bt50 GT
Traded it within months and 2000 km of buying it
Hi Boys 😍💋 💝💖♥️❤️
I stopped watching at 1.5 mins,due to the incessant music that you tubers think is necessary to accompany every narrated vid.

Toyota hilux for me is the best
What a bucket of crap!! Ford and Toyota will be laughing all the way to the bank now that this is on sale.
Over priced garbage looks like suit's ute! Triton is way better value or new great wall even lol
Pretty bad design so sad for this
