I was actually looking for a comparo like this. I was wondering which one I should go for but after this video, I'll go for the BT50 just because it looks so damn good, you can wear a suit while driving it and not look out of place.

I think people in the comments are missing the reason why they made this video to compare the bt50 and the Dmax. yes they are identical, but there are a lot people out there who have no clue and the video helps with that. its a great video and it all comes down to style and brand with these two. would be nice for more info about cost of ownership and warranty between the two as thats basically the real difference.

Here in the philippines, top of the line dmax A/T has no rear differential lock. I would pick bt50 because it is equiped with rear differential lock, more premium interior and also all dealerships offer a free 5-year PMS.

@351tgv 3 жыл бұрын

momentum, line and tyre pressure are main keys when driving in difficult terrain, even with standard HT based tyres you can probably go as low as 22psi and be comfortable that the tyres still have enough in them to keep you out of trouble while also giving you more surface grip, line is super important so make sure you are able to see over the bonnet and guards and with momentum best off using 2nd gear (locked if possible with manual mode if an auto or also take off in 2nd gear) that way if you are using rear diff lock which kills Traction control system then at last the engine takes that bit long to spool up with full boost which keeps you crawling at a more steady pace then it would in 1st gear which is only good if you need max torque in a hurry.

@H06H06 3 жыл бұрын

The only thing this really proves is that standard road tires only just cut it off road. I agree an upgrade of tyres is in order for that type of terrain.

The Isuzu salesperson told me there's a 4 month waiting list for the D Max I guess you can add another month or so to that. The Mazda is available now, so the winner is?? DPF and EGR issues is the fear with both so it really comes down to which has the better after sales support. Your guess is good as mine on that one. 😢

@bjp107 3 жыл бұрын

Lots of professional drivers commenting I see. Interesting compare that, like F1/V8SC, same basics vehicle different driver/different lines and you still get a different result. I think Mazda will win some sales as it has stock. When Dmax is available it will earn more as it appeals to wider crowd.

I chose to buy a new D Max over the BT 50 simplly because I needed a space cab with a longer back than a twin cab, the Isuzu had a space cab with a lot higher trim level than the BT 50 in the space cab and I wanted more comfortable seats and a few extra gadgets so I bought the D Max, not much difference in them really apart from that.

That was a very steep incline that they did that test on. It’s actually not a very forgiving track. They do use the “chicken track” on this track as they wouldn’t be able to climb over the rock steps with the clearance they have

@nzcyclone 2 жыл бұрын

Funny you should mention that. As that is one of my pet peeves too.... The other week asked a dealer that very question of "why when your selling a 4x4 do you put road tires on it?" the answer I got was "because most people who buy them never use them for 4x4ing" Thinking about it... how many people do you know who has a 4x4 ute never uses it other than for getting groceries or taking the rubbish to the dump or down to the river or beach? I would guess the majority of owners so they do have a point... But what I would like to see is an option of proper 4x4 tires eg M/T not A/T. Although in all fairness here at least that is an option now at most dealerships regardless of brand.

Next time explain to the dummies at the start that you go slow to see how well the traction of the 4wd system is. But you did take a different line which is why the Bt-50 got stuck. If you stayed in the ruts the back end wouldn't have gone sideways.
