Mazda BT-50 TF Dual Cab Automatic 4x4 GT Pickup (2020-2026)

Great vehicle – Have had my TF BT50 GT for 2.5 years and 62000km, mostly highway driving and almost no off road. I have not had to do any repairs other than 3 windscreens, which is no fault of the vehicle as I seem to be a rock magnet at the moment. Good fuel economy. I get 8 litres per 100km which ever way I drive although I don't tow. Andriod auto works… Read more

perfectly. Comfortable on long trips. Still have the original tyres and I think I could get another 10000km out of them as long as I rotate. Quiet when cruising but as others have said if you put your foot down it can be a bit noisy. I see plenty of people complaining about the autonomous safety features and whilst I did find them annoying to start with I found that when I changed my driving style ( arguably to a safer less aggressive style ) they intruded a whole lot less. I would still like the option to pick which safety features I could permanently turn off though. Love the radar cruise control. Cons. Expensive windscreens, about 1K to replace as the cameras need calibrated each time. The windscreen washers are poor. Glove box can be a bit sticky. Head rest can not be adjusted horizontally (front to back) Thats really the only things that have frustrated me. All in all I'm very happy with it. I'm usually a Toyota fan but we have hilux Ute's at work and the BT50 is much nicer to drive, way better on fuel and requires less servicing. ( every 10000km for a hilux. 15000km for the BT50.

Love this vehicle. A great all rounder – Love my Mazda BT50 GT. I sold a 2017 ISUZU ute with low kms (traded it for more than I paid!), a VW Touareg V8 and Porsche Boxster. All great cars but I got sick of cleaning them, insuring, servicing etc etc. I live in the bush and wanted a comfortable, reliable, tough, off road capable vehicle with lots of storage. Purchased my Mazda from Ron… Read more

Doyle Motors, Mazda Dealer, in Eden, NSW in March 2021. Best car I have ever had - maybe other than the Porsche! Great service. I have done about 30,000kms. Ron Doyle Motors are professional and organised. Service required once a year. Considered similar Isuzu X-Terrain but did not want it due to its rear sliding canopy. The Mazda is a great all rounder. Has a bit more bling. Got MAZDA bull bar, a Mazda rear canopy, ARB light bar, tow bar, 3.5 tonne towing electric brakes, a TJM rear steel bar (no one else seems to make them. TJM excellent), gas lifters for tailgate, and especially a fully sealed addition to the canopy (NO dust or water gets in) - excellent. The car is easy to drive (my wife loves driving it), lots of luxury with leather and large sat nav etc. The adaptive cruise control is excellent. My only initial concern were all the lane departure warnings, sensors etc and the car pulling you back into your lane. At first I found this annoying but after nearly two years I now realise these safety features are in fact just that - safe. I do a lot of country driving and it is amazing how good the safety features are. I can carry five people at a pinch, four is better. But for my wife and I it is excellent. Put the rear seat down and fill that space up as well as use all the space in the rear. I sometimes tow a two tonne boat which is a dream. I would not want to tow 3.5 tonnes! 2.5 tonnes ideal. 3.0 tonnes at a pinch. I have put good quality off road tyres on it after 20,000kms. Much safer than standard tyres. Overall the car is a great buy. Amazing I could sell it for more than I paid! A terrific purchase. It has never missed a beat.

Canopy Leaking – Purchased mine in January had a 6mth wait before taking delivery Canopy rubbers not fitted correctly rear window of canopy not squarely fitted water leaks into tub area Canopy not fitted to squarely to the tub My concerns are where was quality control on the manufacture of the canopy On inspecting the canopy by the dealer they have found that… Read more

the seals were not fitted correctly the canopy measurements are out of spec up to approximately 20mm in places. My concerns are where was the Pre-inspection before fitting and after. Through out much discussion between the dealer and Mazda who was going to take responsibility Mazda finially agreed to replacement I have looked EGR forum and this seems to be a problem with this canopy Apart from the canopy I am relatively happy with the car as a whole

Great Ute - when it's working! – 2021 BT-50 GT - purchased late 2021 I have very mixed opinions about this vehicle I love it when it's working correctly and not sending me flying into my dash from the Automatic Emergency Brake coming on for sometimes no reason whatsoever that is visible to the human eye. It even goes off when you're going down a minor dip on a regular road.… Read more

Adjusting the sensitivity does nothing to remedy this. And then there's the Lane Keep Assist - but Mazda have remedied that at least by mapping it to the steering wheel for easier access (if you ask for it, they won't contact you and offer it to you which I find wrong) This ute rides beautifully - the transmission and engine provide an impressive, smooth experience. The seats are extremely comfortable, and all round a good ute to own - ONCE THE PROBLEMS ARE SORTED:

For quite some time now, there has been a very serious problem coming from the steering system - and I am informed by Mazda there are quite a few of us with the same problem, some owners in the country have had multiple steering racks installed and the problem is still persisting. This is not a minor problem, and this is coming from a ute that is stock + babied from day 1 - no offroad, nothing. There is a loud noise that comes from both Tyre area + through the steering wheel itself when turning at any speed but especially noticeable when going at low speeds, it is significantly harder to turn the vehicle one way compared to the other. It is terrible to drive currently. I am told Mazda are looking into a repair for the steering rack itself rather than suggesting the dealership keeps replacing them as the part itself may well be faulty from factory. Surely this seems like a major issue for many owners? I feel like other BT-50 owners should be informed about this, as its becoming more and more common - according to dealer. It has certainly put a dark cloud over my "new car experience"

DO NOT BUY A MAZDA BT50 GT WITH LEATHER SEATS OR ANY MAZDA – I purchased a Mazda BT50 GT 4x4 Dual Cab on the 24.08.21 In December 2021 I noticed in the middle of the drivers seat there was a small area where it appeared that the seat had some sought of coating that was lifting or coming off. By January 2022 the area had increased to roughly the size of a dinner plate. The car was 4 months old and travelled… Read more

only 4,900k’s I’m a Senior driver who takes a lot of pride in my cars It is not a work vehicle. I took it to the selling dealer who was more then helpful and took photos etc and ask me what did I use to clean the seats and I explained the car is new and I have wipe the seats over once with a damp cloth. So they sent there report off to Mazda Australia and both the dealer and myself were in shock when Mazda said it is not a manufacturer fault so it’s not warranty. The dealer was so apologetic and explained they are in disbelief that Mazda will not repair it. The dealer told me to contact Mazda Australia customer care. I was hoping by talking with Mazda that they would rectify the problem I rang them and explained the seat falling apart and there representative said it not a manufacturer fault. I explained my BT50 has only done 4,900ks and it is 4 to 5 months old Soooo how could this happen ??? The representative abruptly told me if I don’t like his answer I should go to Dept of Fair Trading ( are you serioussssssss) I told him I have been in the Motor Trade for over 40 yrs have owned all brands of cars with leather trim as well as some cars having huge speedo readings and I have never seen a car do this. I have bought a Brand new Mazda BT50 GT with the accessories I fitted the retail price was close to $66,000 to have it fall apart in the first 4 months and have no support I am in shock. SO PLEASE PLEASE DO NOT BUY A MAZDA BT50 IT IS NOT WORTH THE STRESS THIS POOR BUILD QUALITY VEHICLE WILL GIVE YOU.

Limp mode problem – This car is only used domestically. It has been back to 2 dealers since. The vehicle appears to go into limp mode at start and is dangerous driving through intersections Show details

This new Bt 50 is all round amazing – The car is used as a weekend commute and workhorse / play vehicle as well as towing rig for the caravan. The capabilities of this vehicle is astonishing it has so many safety features and handles very well in any situation I have put to it , it is amazingly comfortable and an absolute pleasure to drive. I have been a Master Technician in the… Read more

Automotive industry for 20 plus years and practicing Mechanic for 34 Years and I am yet to see a better vehicle for aesthetics and capabilities, except of course its counter vehicle The Isuzu Dmax , after many a long year as a Motor Mechanic i am rarely impressed by many vehicles, Hoever this one does it all for me.

2020 BT50 towing holiday Vic to WA and return – I have just completed a caravanning trip from Melb via Adelaide to Perth over about 3 months covering about 10,000ks with my new BT50 towing my 20 foot off road full size caravan. Very impressive Ute. The tech is great for towing, lane keep is gold and makes towing with a side wind so much easier and adaptive cruise is excellent. Averaged at best… Read more

(sitting on 90kph) 14l per 100 k and at worst 18l per 100ks, considering my van sits high and is a 20 foot long 3 ton brick, I’m very happy. Very comfortable sitting for long periods, quiet and plenty if torque when needed, just ticked over effortlessly. Issues: Wireless Apple CarPlay can be slow to connect Very rarely it will start to brake for no reason on cruise control, but this was rare and wasn’t sudden or scary at all. The cameras drop out to re calibrate when I hook my caravan on or unhook sometimes, this is normal due to load variance. Auto locking can be annoying at times as sometimes it doesn’t lock if you haven’t moved away immediately or you can lock your passenger in at servos and the alarm sounds if they then try to get out. The cooling system randomly turns itself onto recirculate so it needs to be constantly checked. All of these are minor issues, overall an outstanding vehicle, very happy.
