2021 Dual Cab 4WD Ute Comparison: Ford Ranger Wildtrak vs Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain vs Mazda BT-50 GT

Рет қаралды 231,500

Күн бұрын

If you know your Mazda BT-50 history, you know the previous versions of the Mazda pickup have always been based on an equivalent from the Blue Oval brand - in recent years, meaning you'd be buying a Ford Ranger in disguise.
Now, though, the tide has turned. The latest offering from Mazda is instead an Isuzu D-Max with a different look. That's right - the dual cab 4WD utes may not look all that similar from the outside, but they share plenty under the metal.
We wanted to see if the shift away from Ford ute roots to Isuzu's tough truck traditions was a good move for Mazda - by putting all three of these vehicles against each other in high-spec 4x4 auto trim levels. As such, here you see the 2021 Mazda BT-50 GT up against the 2021 Isuzu D-Max X-Terrain and the 2021 Ford Ranger Wildtrak.
We put these double cab models through their paces on-road and off-road to see how they compare. The results were closer than even we were expecting. But is there a catch? One of these models is falling behind in terms of tech and safety gear, and it costs more, too!

At the end of the day, it doesnt matter how many reviews by these so called experts you watch, most of these reviewers are not motor mechanics,,, its their opinion, sometimes biased towards one brand, as a motor mechanic for over 47 years, ill pick an isuzu anyday over the others, engines are bullet proof,,,,,,,,,,, thats my unbiased opinion,,,,,,,,

Mazda BT-50! : I never liked this ute before knowing that it has a Ford Engine in it. It has the most expensive aftersales parts and service in the Philippines! But now, since MAZDA (the classy exterior and interior designer) made a VERY GOOD decision to partner with ISUZU, (the maker of the most durable engine and affordable aftersales parts and services), I now super admire the 2021 Mazda BT-50. At last, the good looking pick-up in our country that became underrated because of its Ford platform, will surely climb the sales ladder and has a potential of becoming the best-selling pick-up truck in our country. I am so happy with the partnership of these two 🇯🇵🤝🇯🇵Japanese manufacturers. The 2021 Mazda BT-50 is a SUV (exterior) + Sedan (interior) + Pick-up (engine, transmission and suspension) in ONE! 👏👊 so excited to actually see this truck soon! 😍

Considering the Ranger is almost a 10-year old platform, it is still mighty impressive. A next generation Ranger would revolutionize the segment again.

But if my employers were going to give me a new work ute every 3:or 4:years I might go for the Ford. For my money the Mazda, but for other people's money the Ford!!!

good video guys and gals at Carsguide. The only issue with Ranger is if you want a manual version you are stuck with either the 2.2L (and nobody wants that) and the now rapidly aging 3.2L 5cyl turbo diesel, that said the 3.2L still is the better choice if you intend on doing long distance towing over the 2L sequential turbo diesel /10-speed auto, as for the new twins, I would tend to favor the Isuzu D-Max for 1 major reason, it's there baby and they will do the most development work with it over the next 5 years , like Ford with Ranger doing running changes and development changes I can't see Mazda doing anything other than styling revisions which leaves me with the thought that if Mazda don't move enough volume that they will simply leave it be and do the absolute bare minimum which also means when it comes to warranty they will try and find ways out of horning warranty issues whereas Isuzu will be bending over backwards to ensure customer support is at high levels.

I agree about cup holders. You may say I need to get a life but it has been a deal breaker for me choosing a vehicle. I had one where I could only put the coffee cup or water mug in the centre console and managed to spill hot coffee all over the console and my passenger. It’s also dangerous because it also momentarily takes away your concentration on the rood ahead. The dash mount cupholders in my 2010 Hilux are perfect as you can easily reach while looking at the road ahead. For me that crucial safety issue matters. John.

I’ve driven the current model Wildtrak for almost two years and love it. The only disappointment I’ve had is with the quality of the seats rather than being all leather they include a fabric piece on the outboard seat edges which on the drivers side tends to show wear in the area where you enter and exit very early on in ownership, in my case part of the seat fabric was showing signs of wear after around 10000kms. It is apparently a common problem and Ford will repair the seat under warranty but it I think it will be an ongoing problem. Just a shame in this otherwise outstanding all round quality vehicle Ford couldn’t get this right. I don’t use the Wildtrak commercially and I’m only slightly built, however other than this one bit of a whinge I couldn’t be happier with the Ranger Wildtrak.

You are just not going to get longevity out of a 2 ltr motor in a big ute. Esp if used as intended. That little thing is working really hard to move a loaded truck and trailer when its best suited to a small hatchback. But it produces great power you say? Well that means it's working its little guts out. Also, why don't any manufacturers offer the extra cab in higher spec? Im in the market now but noone sells them above poverty pack. I dont want the rear seats but I want some space in the cab for some gear. Its a really popular size for single blokes or those without kids. The half dozen in my street alone out number the dual cabs. Ive had Isuzus for decades from the old rodeo to the very last incarnation of the dmax. This time I just do not want the rear seats and do want a bit more tray space with cabin space to keep a few things dry and safe but id like the better interior and features of a higher spec than base model.

These ute reviews in large part need to be taken with a grain of salt. The majority of various subtleties disappear when they're invariably modified, suspension lifts, lockers etc, not to mention bar work or trays. A better review methodology would be to take into account who buys these things and how they're primarily used, then tailor the review to that. And what account is taken of reliability? Pretty important to most people. What's the rangers record on that?

What is going to last reliability has too come in to it. I was talking to a Ford ranger owner the front end suspension needs doing at 100 thousand kilometres.

Hi Colin, would you like to talk to another Ford Ranger owner? Well, my BiTurbo has been back for warranty repairs 4 times, towed back 2x within 10 months for a fuel/injector system issues, a 3rd for electrical gremlins (still unresolved), the 4th for a transmission issue which turned out to be part of a recall, all within 35K and almost 6 week off road.. Our other 2 Rangers in our fleet have also experienced multiple warranty issues, some major, however the 2x 8y old Dmax's in the fleet are bullet proof. smooth I decided to cut my Ford experience short so I'll be moving over to a new Dmax soon, and couldn't be happier.

@@creeatd That's great. But every day you have to drive around in the most awful vehicle ever made. Slow. Noisy. Horrible ride. Interior like a jetstar cabin. Did I mention slow? Bumpy. What about going around corners? Confidence inspiring going up a mountain road? But I guess it's important to be part of the Toyota cult. You have to ignore some harsh truths if you want "bragging" rights, yeah? I can't wait to pay a premium price for an outdated vehicle just so I can tell myself it has some "magic" reliability halo around it. (which is just marketing BS) The outgoing Prado (which is still at some dealers) still has a CD player as the only music option... and it costs about $80 to $90k. Yeah, nahh. Most Toyota's should be the cheapest car in their segment when u look at them objectively.

So then which is the ute to buy if you planning to keep it for the next 10 years or so? Is the Ford as reliable as the other 2?

@@davidanderson8381 : The old model was a style that one really liked or hated , I myself liked it due to being different ,that’s just me I’ve never been one to follow the masses. The old BT did well what you needed a good all rounder ute to do . This new version is a step in the right direction but not so much in the current engine department, the Isuzu engine is pretty bulletproof but a little short on the numbers but would be nice to see a V6 engine in the mix, hopefully at some stage.

Sorry Matt I called bulshit I spent 8 hours driving a Ford Ranger XLT and the car was constantly shuffling through the gears I had to really stomp on the gas all the time to stop a from shuffling through the the gears just my opinion though

Honestly, I've spent hundreds of hours in bi-turbo Rangers, and this complaint comes up from a few people now and then. I found the 3.2L with 6-sp auto was far more frustrating in its hunt for gears, and it was considerably less refined, too. Cheers Matt

@@carsguide yes fully agree with you guys here; I think a lot of these comments must be made up of people who haven't really driven the new Ranger - I have driven both the old 3.2 and new 2.0 rangers in many variants and they are worlds apart. The New 10 speed auto has been nothing short of specular for me thus far 40,000kms and the 2.0 bi-turbo is way smoother and much more punchy than the old 3.2 - (ps the old 6 speeder gave me lost of trouble) - As usual Great review guys

Recently i test drove some utes before buying and the wildtrak won hands down. It was effortless to drive responsive and felt good. Number 2 was the dmax felt good but not quite the same driving experience as the ranger. The Nissan ntrek warrior came in third seats super comfy but a bit stiffer the the dmax. Then Came the SR5 good to sit in but not as responsive as the ones above and turning circle not as good as the others. The last was triton people say its a good vehicle but felt not that good to me stiff steering seats so so as my brother said to me is cheap but feels cheap. The other down side is the xterran stock is being quoted still Jan- Feb whilst right now is good with newer models in the class coming it will be outdated before you get one
