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

#Mazda #Bumpsteer #BT50 – #Bumpsteer #Mazda Australia #Penrith Mazda the 2020-2024 (>aug24) Mazda BT50 has a well-known steering geometry engineering design fault #Bumpsteer, this fault leads to excessive tyre wear. Mazda will apply alignment setting that hide this fault which leads to a very poor steering feel and driving experience. Penrith Mazda do not reply or… Read more

acknowledge this; I have document proof of this. Mazda Australia continually direct owners back to the dealer. Owners have no way to get traction on this with Mazda. Isuzu Utes Australia has begun installing upgraded steering knuckles to the BT50 twin, the Dmax (shared platform).

There is a known engineer design fault, costing owners $$ with tyre wear and ongoing alignments.

Do not trust #Mazda they leave owners in the dark #Bumpsteer

Battery replacement – 2022 Bt50 with all accessories (Draws with fridge, AGM battery hooked up, UHF, Front and Rear camera). - Almost through my 2nd main battery. 2x auto electricians, company that installed the AGM and draws, company that installed the cameras can't work out why. They all feel that the alternator isn't producing enough volts to the main battery.… Read more

Saying this a good mate with the same car (3 months newer) has had his alternator replaced by Mazda and is still having the same issues on his car. Any thoughts.

Great ute, electronics need work – Overall, I am very happy with the new auto BT I bought in December 2022. Traded in the 2014 manual XTR. I find it surprising that dealers / brands (not just Mazda) can sell vehicles allegedly rated above 750kg towing without including a brake controller. Like others commenting here, the autonomous braking system has locked me up in traffic because… Read more

a car was turning left off my left quarter - not even in front of me! The "BRAKE" warning has come up when a hawk has swooped in front of the car. Yes, I turn the lane departure off, too. Truck tracks fool it and it wants to send me into oncoming traffic! The Bluetooth system forgets my phone and playing music via Bluetooth lasts about 20 minutes and I have to disconnect and reconnect. It is the third decade of the 21st Century, right? Not good. I am hoping that Mazda read these posts and a software update is in the wind.

Good tow vehicle – Interior of GT is very good, I like the seating in particular. It effortlessly tows to its maximum. Very good economy while towing. I don't like the lane keeping and you cannot turn it off. Dealer has offered to permanently disable it. Adaptive cruise control is great. Some engine noise when accelerating but pleasingly quiet when cruising. Show details

Love our BT50 – We've now owned our 2021 BT50 for a year and done 23,000km including 8,000 towing a van and the rest involving normal running around and city driving. In this time the car has been faultless and very capable at everything. It's great on fuel, comfortable, roomy, has decent power and tows our van or boat effortlessly.

and servicing is excellent. A lot of people seem to mention the safety stuff, which can take a few drives to get used to, but you can adjust all the settings in the menu to lessen their input and Mazda now do an update which makes it even less sensitive if preferred. After a year I think it's a fantastic car, we've looked after it, the paint still shines and we still love it.

Great ute 3.2 xtr 2020 – I have had this ute since August 2020 and done 50,000km it still going good service regularly and it runs great. Quick pick up quiet on road, lots of power. Love it. Show details

Great car for all purpose – We got the Mazda BT-50 because we needed a car that served all purposes with comfort, and this one definitely meets the criteria - 4wd'ing, beach driving, city driving, long distance driving and suburban driving. My husband and son both surf and occasionally go on boys camping weekends, so the ute we selected had an important criteria to meet. … Read more

We have the 3.2L turbo-diesel version, and it's really good on fuel - on average, we get about 1000km out of a full tank. We used to have a Navara D22 but the BT-50 is 100 X better - it has a bit of oomph when accelerating, so you don't actually feel like you're driving a truck, it's pretty comfortable inside and you don't feel every bump you go over.

For a ute, technology ticks a lot of boxes - it has apple car play (which is a MUST HAVE feature in any car we buy now), reverse camera (because everyone needs one on a ute, lets be honest) and parking sensors.

As mentioned, we have a son and he's 6 1/2 so he still sits in a car seat - one thing we wanted in a ute was the car seat anchor already provided in the ute and I can confirm, the Mazda BT-50 has this! hallelulah!!

Overall, we have had the car for almost 18 months, we've only serviced it twice (first 1500km free and the second was standard) and we still love it just as much as the day we picked it up. It doesn't feel like you're driving a truck, it's extremely comfortable, good on fuel, suits all driving terrain and purpose and is relevant with technology that you would find in cars.

Absolutely we recommend this car to anyone and everyone, bachelors, couples, families or the older generation who is road tripping.
