Four wheel drive capability
Winner of the 2007 4WD Monthly Ute of the Year, the 4×4 Mazda BT-50 has consistently proven to be outstanding off road. Its performance in both high and low range, along with excellent steering response clearly sets this ute apart from the competition.
Engine
New generation 2.5 and 3.0 litre DOHC, 16 valve turbo diesel engines feature advanced common-rail direct injection with a variable geometry turbocharger and large intercooler for optimum turbo performance and durability. Put simply this all means BT-50 engines are responsive and refined, with plenty of pulling power right through the rev range.
Remote Free Wheel hubs
All 4×4 models feature Remote Free Wheel hubs because the last thing you want to do is get out of the vehicle to unlock the hubs everytime you’re back on the tarmac. It’s the proven reliability of Mazda’s 4×4 system that means it’s built to last.
Suspension (NOT Suspention)
The tough independent double wishbone front suspension has been designed to reduce harshness on unmade roads. At the rear axle, large leaf springs maximise ride comfort and durability. Big shock absorbers feature all-round and are built to take the punishment.
Towing capacity
A 3,000kg braked towing capacity for all 3.0 litre manual transmission models or 2,500kg for 3.0 litre automatic transmission models means boats, caravans and trailers can be towed with ease. 4×2 Single Cab models feature an extremely useful 2,250kg braked towing capacity ensuring you can bring along whatever work load you might have. Refer to specifications for more detail regarding towball download and other weight restrictions.
Transmissions
The 5-speed manual transmission is made tough to work with the powerful engines. With triple-cone synchronisers on first and second gears, it delivers smooth, crisp shifting. The 5-speed automatic transmission (available as an option on some models) features closely spaced ratios and precise electronic control of shifting.
