Is it any good?
Is the latest generation of the Mazda BT-50 in 2021 a viable ute for 4WD touring Australia? We’re talking weekend camping trips to full-blown touring around Australia like many Grey Nomads aspire to do since they can’t easily travel overseas!
A lot of ute manufacturers seem to collaborate and share platforms to help save costs while also leveraging each other’s strengths to improve their vehicles.
Previously, the Mazda BT-50 was the cheaper alternative to the more premium Ford Ranger. They shared all the same chassis and running gear.
However, that collaboration is over, making way for a new partnership with a shared parts agreement with the Isuzu D-Max. Check out this article: Is Mazda BT-50 the same as Isuzu D-Max? to see what the main differences are.
The 2021 Mazda BT-50 shares the same running gear as the D-Max. They are even made in the same factory in Thailand.
What’s interesting is that Mazda is now the more premium option at a slightly higher price point.
This review will determine just what we’re working with when buying a 2021 Mazda BT-50. Will it be worth the extra coin to have the latest model?
