The guy says that the engine makes a lot of noise but doesn't go very fast. I saw a drag race on you tube. The vw amarok v6 went first. It was expected but the bt50 came 2nd between all the rangers , triton, novara, hilux etc. I would like to have an explanation for that.

Really enjoyed this review. Good mix of contagious excitement, healthy criticism and staying properly neutral throughout. Also, despite me watching tonnes of videos of the bt50 I still had no clue about the diesel particulate filter so thanks for that as well!

And today bought a BT50 GT, like you video was so impressed with the finish and the mechanical side of things. Will be interesting to see how many km this unit will do. Keep up the great videos they are very helpful. Cheers

I've had one for about 6-7 months and it's a good solid ute, I previously had a 2015 bt50 and I definitely notice the power difference. But the new model definitely handles better than the older models. I was following a mate in his hilux work ute then later in his personal triton and he was trying to leave me behind on some back country twistys and he had no chance, I could hear his tyres howling and my new bt50 was cruising through the same coners with ease 👌

In real world drag races, short and long, the DMAX/BT-50 3.0 is faster than everything else, except the Amarok 3.0 v6. The hilux, navara and triton finished way behind. The videos are available just search bt-50 drag race. They also did another one in Malaysia and the results were the same.

I love it great speech on it to spot on. This is my first Ute and 100 percent recommend however i did go the top of the line but its mostly aesthetics but you get a lot of extras if you have the money the thunder is awesome has everything you would want. And it is a beautiful driver it feels like driving my kia optima with a tub on the back yes very refined also on trip so comfortable and great on fuel, also agree with the engine for me the ponies are touch less for me but still great driving, however get it on some sand and do some beach driving and some rough climbing and what a absolute lazy mans 4wd just eats up the track it loves 4wdriving highly recommend getting on the beach. Also they do look great I went with the rock grey and its a head turner people always commenting how nice she is so you will get some complements. All in all good buy. Also Mrs wants it and now the in-laws want one that's saying something.

I noticed you commented on the power a lot and its common for Isuzu to under tune their engines but once tuned they make heaps more power (around 200-250hp, 700nm range) more so than other utes when tuned and still keep a fair amount of reliability unlike basically every other car manufacturer

@craigdavid6668 3 жыл бұрын

50nm more than a twin turbo V8 Land Cruiser? For about 5000km maybe.

The twisties... I once was following a 2t Budget truck down the Black Spur and I could not believe my eyes. I was giving it almost full gas and they were comfortably keeping pace ahead of me. Whoever was driving this Budget truck deserves a medal because I would not have believed a 2t rental truck could corner as well as this person was clearly capable of! Totally unrelated to the video but the commentary on the cornering just rung a bell for me :)

So the D-Max is selling out with a 12-month wait, and people don’t like the BT-50? Just so bizarre. It’s the same ute with an arguably better interior. Plus it’s available within a month or two wait. Plus it has WAY more genuine accessory options (2nd battery, 12v outlet, wireless charging, etc etc) So what’s wrong with it? P

I’d say yes Have owned both Depends on what you are using it for really DMAX is more industrial inside That’s about the guts of it Otherwise very similar Mazda has the Isuzu badges and plates under the bonnet, not even changed to the word Mazda so it’s a DMAX with class basically

@eternallearner8185 2 жыл бұрын

I don't understand that along with all this "tech" gadgetry Isuzu/Mazda don't have the vehicle come with a simple ON/OFF switch on the dash then driver can choose at will whether he/she wants all that BS or not and don't have to go through a menu every time they turn the key. Having a selector switch fitted at the factory would add near zilch to the price but Mazda/Isuzu would sell a lot more cars.

The bt50 3.0 here doesn't come with lane keeping assist, only the warning. I think i'll still go for the mazda for the Japanese reliability, and for the engine, it's really fast off the line without drama and can drift quite easily haha. Cheers mate, all the best.

The toyota is garbage in comparison. Bad ride, and although they claim more power, its actually one of the slowest in drag races vs everything else. The only thing better is resale value, people who are worried about money would like that.
