I've had my 2021 BT 50 XTR for a year now. I bought it new for 55k. My parents just recently bought a new V6 Ford Ranger XLT for 73k. Let's put it this way, with the 20k difference in the pricing, I've added wheels, AT tyres, bullbar, winch, custom made ally tray, a canopy, spotlights, full length bash plate, a catch can, a stainless snorkel, and other various smaller items... 20k goes a long way in terms of mods. The Ranger is beautiful to ride in and is no doubt a refined vehicle, but for 10-20k more than the competitors? I don't think it's good value for money compared to other options, unless you really want the V6 and rear disc brakes for towing like my parentals.

Heard 2 reasons for it! the tub bar was to minimize roof crushing during roll over, mostly seen in rock climbing groups.. In African countries it's for not damaging the body work when carrying logs or pipes etc.. You can put weighted stuff against it, the African version makes sense to me

Hi Matt great review of the mazda BT-50. I’m currently looking at purchasing a mazda bt-50 tf xtr or the Mitsubishi tirton mr gsr. Really torn between them both 😅 what are your thoughts? Which one would you lean towards more. Thankyou & keep up the great work 😊.

@CarSauce Жыл бұрын

Hello! If it were me personally, I would take the BT-50 - it’s a better all rounder, with newer tech. Biggest benefit of the Mitsi is the permanent 4wd, but only necessary in bad climate areas! Either way, both are a great choice 😊

@rossawood5075 Жыл бұрын

Both the Mitsibishi and Isuzu powered Mazda have amongst the most reliable engines in the current ute market. Wheras the verdict is not in yet on Fords slightly modified Lion series V6 that was not a particularly reliable or long lived engine in the Landrover Discovery in 2.7 and 3 liter versions. Time will tell!

Bought it brand new and sold it 1 year later. Drove beautifully on the highway I will say. Hilux is outdated, it’s slow but it’s absolutely solid. Real world owner review here.

Agree, the journo's/reviewers quote the manufacturers' stated power and torque figures but in any performance testing the new DMax/BT50 do very well and always faster than the HiLuxe for what that is worth. The new DMax/BT50 engine is very receptive to just a mild "tune" to liberate some pony's without creating drams short or long term. Try and find the KZfaq clip from South Africa on Bakkie drag race test, worth the time believe me.

@@nathangregory6653 The current Isuzu/Mazda engine is not a whole re-design or "new" engine but rather substantial updates particularly in the set up with the timing chains for better and more durable valve train performance and the new pistons for yet more efficiency etc. All points to it so far as being a better version of the engine before it without compromising long life and service simplicity.

Yep, second this. Owned a 2017 Dmax for 5 years, yes it’s the previous model but Isuzu Ute Australia hate their customers with a passion. There’s an investigative class action. I had the following problems in 5 years and 140,000km. Turbo DPF Cracked innerguards Head unit Air conditioning condenser in the firewall Blown silicone inter cooler pipe It was serviced every 10,000km. Ended up waiting a year to go to VCAT, they settled with me a week prior. Say clear of Isuzu Ute products. People be warned. John Cadogan does two good videos on this.

@@denislee5912 Toyota didn’t leave their customers for dead. They didn’t charge for time and replaced DPF’s. Never heard a Hilux having any of the above problems and you’ll find they’re common with Isuzu. Without a warranty the previous gen Dmax can potentially be a write off just from mechanical issues. Not the Hilux. DPF and inner guards alone are $8-10k a piece. Turbo $4k, air con $4k and so on. I was lucky my turbo lasted so long. They’re known to blow them often and the techs were surprised I was still on my first. Turbo and ac fixed under warranty
