2006-2012 Mazda BT-50 review
BT-50 Bloody Terrific!From winding tarmac to the most challenging track, all roads lead to excitement. BT-50 is the most powerful, comfortable Mazda truck ever. Capable and tough, yet sporty and stylish. So whether you're heading to work, or heading away to play, BT-50 gives you a special experience. Something we call Zoom-Zoom.BT-50 features new generation 2.5 and 3.0 litre turbo diesel engines with advanced common-rail direct injection for superb performance and excellent fuel economy.Whether you prefer 4x2 or 4x4 you've got the choice of Single Cab Chassis, Freestyle Cab Chassis or Utility and Dual Cab Utility configurations. The 4x2 Single Cab Chassis features a 2.5L turbo diesel engine while all other 4x2 and 4x4 models are powered by a high torque 3.0L engine and feature a 'high rider' stance.Big Turbo Diesel, loads of grunt.Work or play, Mazda BT-50 delivers a load of power. 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. This flat torque curve makes towing and carrying heavy loads a cinch, at the same time giving you instant acceleration. The precise combustion of common-rail injection also means you'll go further between fills and helps cut emissions.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 (optional on 4x4 Dual Cab SDX) features closely-spaced ratios and precise electronic control of shifting. Acceleration and economy are maximised as a result.Model Range:
