2015 Mitsubishi Triton v Nissan Navara v Mazda BT-50 Comparison | Drive.com.au

Australian utility buyers are increasingly being offered softer, more refined products. Sam Hall compares three of the top runners. www.drive.com.au/new-car-compa...

[@haydenfyfe885]

These Three utes are great for work and play. The Firing Line is for my dad's choice of utes which has thousands of accessories and can put propellers on Top and wings down the bottom on both sides.

[@tanguylegat4773]

Hi all, Take the Triton without any doubt. Here in New-Caledonia i use the L200 (previous model). There are so many L200 on Nickel mining companies here, it's reliable, comfy, roomy and easy to customize. For 1 Navara or BT50 on mine, you'll see 500 or more L200 in the same time. Can't wait to have the new L200. Sheers.

[@Digger43]

Surprisingly, this is a very good review, by that I mean.....I agree with everything John has said, with no bias. "Well done John !!".

[@wseejattan]

I have driven triton both on and off the road for years now and it is a really good pickup. Good in the mud. Toyota hilux is the best above all.

[@bida1]

The "Triton" as a vehicle built for all purposes.

[@wokenonsense256]

Nissan navara any day without doubt

[@junlimcauco5402]

Bt-50 is the beast with 3.2L engine..the best exterior design ever.. Mazda should have to do is to modified the head light with LED...I love this pick up..

[@aponkye1001]

Drove the Mazda in Ghana for one week and fell immediately in love with this truck. Traveling in it was a breeze considering all the pot holes in the roads. Going to the airport my wife and two kids and eight suitcases wasn't a problem. I will buy this over the ford or Mitsubishi.

[@ryleefeatherston4750]

Triton 4 life

[@dratempest610]

This review is 3 years old now and the Mazda BT50 still in its current form ,still...out performs the newer updated model brands of these two with its on-road dynamics , towing , load capacity and its 4x4 off road Capabilities as many motoring and 4x4 reviews show on recent ute testing. Not bad for so called outdated!

[@samtannous5693]

I bought the navara stx and I'll never look back true the steering is a bit heavy but everything else makes it well worth it. I'm not sure where he got 9.5l /100k from mine is always under 8 averaging about 7.4 also I've carried loads in the back and found no movement

[@steven16402]

when will we see the 0-100klm test i wanna see the stx 550 vs others even vs the new navara

[@adz7730]

Mazda BT-50 is awesome and the best ute ever!!

[@googlename8066]

Stupid we can't get any of these in America. Makes much more sense than a full size truck or crossover.

[@denver88sun]

Google Name qqqqqqqqqq

[@benhuang2773]

At least you have the Ranger now.

[@sansinuon1176]

I'll choose Navara over the two. Wish I could get one soon.

[@ruditoonen6057]

Sinuon San obviously you're not planning on putting anything heavy in the back than.

[@sansinuon1176]

Which one do you think the better one among the three of them?

[@ruditoonen6057]

Sinuon San I'd get the Triton out of those three.

[@sansinuon1176]

Thanks for your advice. I'm also considering Ford Ranger. Not sure if it wins Triton ?

[@ruditoonen6057]

Out of the three reviewed Triton wins hands down. I too would go the Ranger though but the price is rediculous.

[@JunLi21]

Nissan way to better!

[@johneleven25]

Took the Triton and BT50 for a test run. The Mazda is a fine car but it couldn't impress enough to choose it over the Triton especially the price. the Triton was surprisingly nice to drive in every way and looks nicer too. I'll buy it.

[@dratempest610]

johneleven25 , Do you tow much or load 1000 kgs in the tray ?

[@darklord912000]

Triton forever.

[@texasgold007]

Just bought the new gls manual Love it awesome ute Drove all of these and like the Mitsubishi hhh best

[@wangc4]

+mike hunt same choice, in NZ, you pay $20k more for a Navara STX. Too much for too little extras

[@cassioamaral7096]

+John Noya you're goddamn right.

[@dlochin]

yepppp best bang for your buck and performance as well.

[@nivek7631]

ALL 3 WERE GREAT BUT MY HEART IS FOR NAVARA

[@tamimtamim9744]

what is the best?

[@IsaacSturdee]

you need weight in the back of a dual cab or ute for them to be comfortable. The rear suspension is heavy duty so weightless its very stiff

[@antonycastro8059]

pueden ponerle subtitulos por favor? o en hacerlo en español? me interesa el video pero no domino ese idioma.

[@yangevening]

should I pick navAra or triton if I only have this 2 options ?

[@chrisbro141]

Triton because its cheap, you can use the extra to modify on what you like

[@geermansecundinovictorio1191]

I TAKE the NISSAN NAVARA

[@vinoe004]

all bullshit comments, The best of the three is the one you've got.!

[@rreh6990]

#1 Mitsubishi Triton #2 Nissan Navara #3 Mazda BT-50 Triton is a Beast...

[@tsts2570]

nissa frontier porque si tu pones carga al a mitsubishi se hase lenta

[@khaleelkhan9157]

navara and triton looks good

[@quadrunner2124]

How come Europe and Australia get all these awesome little trucks?? I live in America, The Land of the Trucks, and we only have three choices! None of these are an option yet.

[@stolenpig1]

land of trucks, Australia invented the UTE, its not a pickup or truck

[@quadrunner2124]

I thought Utes were car based truck things that are lower to the ground. These would all be called midsize trucks where I live. What makes a ute a ute?

[@RockOnDoooooooooood]

+Bill Barnes I thought utes were regular cars with the bed of trucks. These look like what we call mid-size trucks. But yeah how come we don't get more options here

[@quadrunner2124]

I think its the full size cab, with a shortbox that makes it considered a ute.

[@stolenpig1]

+Quadrunner , Australia invented the UTE (its not a pick up, USA called it that) two or four door, still a ute

[@cassioamaral7096]

No comparision, Mitsubishi L200/Triton easily, it was born for offroad and work.

[@DavidStanleymusic]

+Cássio Amaral lol

[@haydenfyfe885]

I Would Mind any ute like Nissan Navara, Mazda BT-50 and Mitsubishi Triton. They have turbo diesel engines and automatic Transmission. 🚒🚚🚛

[@THEDRAGONBOOSTER8]

Does any have a rear diff lock ?

[@samtannous5693]

The navara in the stx model

[@josecisne7997]

Optional in all of them

[@tikiungaualia1426]

Mazda is no.1

[@deborahesther8229]

Mitsubishi top selling number one in Asia

[@sabrylanka5681]

Mitsubishi Triton is the Best.

[@stephanburgess654]

Mitsi all the way

[@marigolddomen8095]

for me its NP300 NAVARA, packed with features and a low cost PMS.

[@chenjinhui31]

Nissan, Navara? or Nissan, Frontier np 300!

[@joshuayeshua2274]

I will go with triton

[@Dongzzzzzz]

Dear Mazda, all of your cars are great like the 121,323,626,929,323f,rx-7,rx-8,2,3,5,6,cx-3,cx-5,cx-7,cx-9.but your bt-50 needs a new design,new interior and add a camera and give a skyactiv deisel on it.

[@dratempest610]

Let me see ...... nah ! It’s perfect 👌🏽

[@donaldtopping9254]

The BT 50 is still a Ford in disguise

[@thegrinchyone8813]

o

[@beeaj9711]

I agree, talk about side mirror they are identical with ranger's

[@sgb.3999]

Correct! I bought BT-50 4x4 3.2L, unfortunately the fuel pump is damaged and guess what? the fuel pump's brand used is made by Ford. :)

[@yuhboi8746]

But the ford updated and got way better now mazda never made alot of changes the new ford is way better and very different

[@joslyrasitrasitrabeh7825]

The oldest japanese car is Mitsubishi, second Mazda, third Nissan datsun.mitsubishi the best very good performance car and perfect advance technology the biggest japanese heavy industry such as manufacturing aircraft jet fighter and commercial airline, ship,ect

[@dlochin]

triton is the best.

[@leonardoLMK]

Triton >>>>>>>>> All

[@kaiquesantossantana5346]

L200 a melhor

[@agatonmania241]

triton super sulit

[@user-bi3ys3ho3d]

Japanese made car first is Mitsubishi, second is Mazda,third is datsun or Nissan,fourth is Toyoda or Toyota ,fifth is Isuzu,the king champion is Mitsubishi Triton Very good driving performance

[@iavisgreece3911]

_______ The best is Navara! ______

[@ozcorndog2615]

It's interesting doing comparisons on running costs of the vehicles. After three years the total cost of the services ranks Navara 1st, Mitsu second and the BT50 third. Mazda are ripping their customers off with 10,000k service intervals where Ford are doing 15000k intervals at cheaper overall pricing for equivalent vehicle. The BT50 falls into 6 cyclinder registration costs due to its 5 cylinder engine and uses 20% more fuel per 100km than the others. It would be nice if the review did a cost of ownership breakdown as well.

[@dratempest610]

Andrew Cornhill your full of shit ... #1 service intervals at 10k is done for greater longevity of the engine components as Diesel engines destroy the engine oil very quickly,any diesel mechanic will tell you this !#2 20% more fuel per 100 km ,let me tell you something... that maybe on paper but in the real world it’s far from the truth it’s not funny, we tested this and found that larger engines were getting better fuel economy regardless if loaded or unloaded on open road driving due to the smaller capacity engines having to work harder than there larger capacity engines over the same test roads.

[@Albydaman]

I have driven all three of these but mine was the STX. I would choose the Nissan any day. The Mazda is so out dated and the Mitsi just does not drive anything like the Nissan. This guy has no idea. The Nissan is so quiet its unbelievable.

[@popoman357]

You don't buy a BT50 for comfort and luxury, you buy it because it's the only one of these three and others that's actually built to be a true fucking work horse! It's suspension is stiff so it doesn't drag its ass and cause an accident when your hauling a heavy load, unlike the Navara which will fuck you about the moment you throw a sand bag in it.

[@Albydaman]

Hey pop man your full of shit. I have driven both with loads and the navara is as good if not better. So fuck off

[@popoman357]

A load? What like a bundle of wood and some tents? Or some furniture when moving house? When you load it up with a 3+ tonne firefighting unit on a trailer and a tonne of reserve water on the tray, you can let me know how it performs. If you want a ute that can odd jobs, buy a navara, but if you want to have a real go about life, buy a BT.

[@dratempest610]

I totally agree pop man , as a Tradie myself and have driven all utes worth testing when updating my old hilux Ute I also found the mazda to be a better load carrying work horse along with more room inside for the family, a Diesel engine that unstressed with boat load of torque. As for the standard specs ( auto lights/wipers,7.8"infotainment etc and capped services at $200 inc and a 150,000km warranty 3 year Mazda care packages etc) you get , its great for the money spent , a XTR 2WD (aka) GSX in New Zealand is around $38k with on road costs included . It looks much better now with the new front and taillights update and they dress up well if you are one of them suits in a ute ,and like kitting out your ute.

[@gaming.galaxy6121]

Andrew Colquhoun yeah so unbelievable that can't handle a 500kilo onboard inroad...too bumpy...tsssk

[@AH.111]

The Nissan is the obvious choice.

[@ruditoonen6057]

Hugh Mungus aslong as you're not planning on using the tray.

[@jasonfranck1126]

Im choose Nissan navarra 😁

[@muhammadaliff6866]

[@markaustin4431]

i realize the bt 50 is probably good mechanicly i just don't like the looks of it.looks like an insect. nissan would be the way to go with it's twin tubo motor what pearler.

[@ruditoonen6057]

Mark Austin the Nissan can't handle loads with it's coil suspention in the rear.

[@dratempest610]

Have you tried towing a 2000 kg camper off the beach of late , lol don’t worry mate the Bt50 will come to the rescue , just ask 4x4 action!

[@user-bi3ys3ho3d]

Japanese made car first is Mitsubishi, second is Mazda,third is datsun or Nissan,fourth is Toyoda or Toyota ,fifth is Isuzu

[@ilikechiangmai3178]

[@DavidStanleymusic]

Can't believe how cheap the trucks are for Australia and that you pay what we pay for a 1/2 ton truck. If I was in Australia I wouldn't buy any of those trucks .Let them all die on the vine ,until they start delivering what we in North America get.

[@kostastts4701]
