While the old Mazda BT-50 shared mechanicals with the Ford Ranger, the latest model was developed by Isuzu Ute and features the D-Max's 3.0-litre diesel engine and body-on-frame platform.
Mazda has added its own styling to the BT-50 package though, including a car-like grille and a luxurious-looking interior with a 9.0-inch screen featuring, on flagship grades, perforated leather sports seats. You wouldn't be far wrong to think of it as an SUV cabin.
The Mazda BT-50's 140kW/450Nm engine gives the requisite 3.5-tonne towing capacity, workhorse models have a 1000kg payload, and you can expect features such as a rear differential lock, and the latest active safety systems such as autonomous emergency braking, blind-spot monitoring, and active cruise control.
