Mazda BT-50 v Toyota HiLux Review | Drive.com.au

[@adventurecampexplore5496]

I was looking for a Ute late last year, drove a heap of different brands and models and finally settled on a 2016 Mazda BT50... Unbelievable Ute!!!

[@markchonajr8938]

The BT50 is an absolute pleasure to drive. So powerful and composed.

[@aldenphillip765]

not sure if anyone gives a shit but if you are stoned like me during the covid times you can stream pretty much all the latest series on InstaFlixxer. Been binge watching with my brother these days =)

[@tanatsiwamachuwe7299]

I bought my BT 50 this morning ❤

[@samfulton9994]

I have a BT50 and it’s a great Ute. I would definitely buy another one.

[@deadjoker1001]

What I eloquent way to end the video. Where is the summary, conclusion and overall verdict. I though this was a comparison. What an unusual ending.

[@AdamAus85]

I don't understand why they make a dash like that on a ute. They it's going to get dusty and there are so many places where dust will collect. It's a shame manufacturers can't make a dash that is easy to wipe down.

[@isaaccknight]

Nothing can beat the high luxury ute

[@henmari6684]

Toyota got good offroad capability and also battle tested mounted with 50cal. Alot of it in middle east.

[@turbocam1013]

I have a Toyota hilux sr5 2017 and its a fricken beast I love it.

[@arthurmiller9434]

Great review. Current, I am considering both of these models. I will remember your points as I test drive these models. Thank you!

[@shurui1283]

both because they are my favorite

[@thethespian5757]

Mazda has neglected the BT50 in my opinion. But its still a great truck. Imagine what it'll be when they shift their focus to it.

[@Art-yk3dr]

For once justice for the BT 50

[@kosinthbualuang7343]

me too

[@dratempest610]

Arnold Rotich totally agree

[@markchonajr8938]

The BT50 is powerful and stable. I love it.

[@Alphaaussiegaming]

Dude I used to get bagged all the time for buying a bt-50 but I bought cause they different to what people buy in Australia like hiluxes land cruisers commodores etc but no one really gives the Mazda’s credit until they drive on my best mate always wants to drive mine now over his hilux when we go away now that I’ve got a lift kit and a 3 inch exhaust and ecu remap it really does give it a boost in what it already has grea car would never sell only upgrade to newer year that’s it

[@mathieuhilario846]

mazda bt50 is great

[@simeonnandalall3969]

i really like the hilux's design and interior but, i still prefer the isuzu d max

[@RDPproject]

I wish they would stop using the word *Truck.* We're not americans.....

[@ALANSANTORO]

in Argentina, we call them pick-ups

[@Ms.Fowlbwahhh]

Well the original terms are truck and lorry so pick one lol

[@Steven15889]

Devin Stambolziovski no, the original term in AUSTRALIA is ute

[@Ms.Fowlbwahhh]

Steven Alush the first vehicle of this type was made by tatra and it was called a truck. Therefore it is the term

[@MrIzzyreal555]

Rdpproje An American here. Live in Chile, here we have both trucks. In English we call them pickups or trucks. Here in Chile, also pickup. Cheers mate!!!

[@rubiconned]

Toyota boys getting bent out of shape again.... Would have been good to review offroad, cause, y'know, they are 4wds...

[@bobpfaff2258]

nanobugs sound point! Still we got the important information such as the presenter didn’t like where the USB port was on the BT50. Vital to know.

[@pingasuncion5054]

Bi turbo on that 3.2 I’ll definitely buy one...

[@jozzz8893]

In Australia,brand new BT50 is around $55,000,If you add $5,000 modifaction fees, still cheaper than the stock Hilux. Looking forward the new BT50 under new platform.

[@CustomKB.]

More like $70,000 for a bt-50 stock

[@vevohoeyo]

my mate has one of these new hiluz and it's already blown a rear diff and had numerous other problems apart from it being gutless and just around average compared to other top utes

[@Alphaaussiegaming]

vevohoeyo I’ve only ever seen and heard of one bt-50 breaking a rear diff and that’s here on KZbin caus ehe was going on an extreme uphill I’ve meet tones of people who own them and they have never had major problems other then a flat tyre haha only things I have changed on my bt other then fuel filters and such

[@dorothyfuller9362]

who care's about the usb ..blue tooth is all you need and I love the reverse cam I tow around a 2.5 ton food trailer every day and apart from the Ranger (at 10 grand more with great features yet i do not need them) nothing comes close I have tried them.

[@xavierguthrie3358]

A 4wd review with no off roading or conclusion ? I'm defiantly going to buy a bt50 now ....

[@dratempest610]

xavier guthrie both are great Utes.

[@rafaelgofar]

Mazda win

[@adamward2817]

He may as well tested the mazada 6 vs the Toyata camry no off road test or hauling a load or towing !!!

[@DI35ELB005T]

mazda bt50 and ford ranger is the best pickup bro

[@benjamin6223]

Your damn right

[@samuellamont3971]

Na mate

[@qwertyaeiou9860]

I think your crazy

[@wasslic]

Will stay with my BT 50. Unlike the reviewer, I prefer the USB stick position in the glove box.

[@dratempest610]

wasslic yes I agree, you aren’t taking the USB in and out every time you hop in your ute

[@thulanicele7843]

Do u still have your BT 50 mate?I am looking at buying one how has it held up compared to a ranger?

[@xfan616]

hilux like always, but i would go for manual

[@beresheeth]

I own and/or owned both and the Toyota is miles better on fuel...25%+

[@dratempest610]

Jacques Shepperson : So have I , where our work Hilux was getting around 9.8-12L/100km and 760-850 km / tank, my new Bt50 is getting 8.3-10.2L/100km and 780-960 km/tank . Have you ever noticed all the real world averages on the ute testing / tests are 9 times out of 10 always over the 10l mark on most of the smaller diesel manufacturers engines with general work and towing alike and the Mazda / Ranger are under the 10l mark most of the time, funny 😁 that!!!!

[@Ttnorth11]

At least the Bt50 does not roll over as easy as a Rollux... I mean Hilux

[@trianggaindralukmana2184]

TTNorth but they have weak 4x4 gear, our company dissapointed with bt50 reliability and gearing, we changed to strada triton and never look back. altough bt50 little bit comfier suspension

[@Ttnorth11]

Tritons are good for fleet cars as they are cheap. We have Ford Rangers in our fleet and they are pretty good. I think 1 has had some issues but that was sorted.

[@yejietea2081]

TTNorth haha,that's right~

[@enricoluisleyva2651]

Hahahahha roflux

[@angrysocialjusticewarrior]

I don't even live in Australia, but in my country Hilux is notorious for flipping over. When I used to work as a professional driver with a permit for local and long distance routes, in 90% of single vehicle accidents I saw involved either a Toyota Hiace, or a Toyota Hilux, both of which where almost always lying on their side or on their roof. The remaining 10% of single vehicle accidents was the occasional idiot beemer driver who swipe a lane barrier or an old pickup truck that was so heavily overloaded that the rear axle gave out.

[@iatriocxi9358]

BT 50 very Good™😃

[@samuellamont3971]

resale is a big thing ,peeps which one gets the most money back in 10 years

[@nhosein4209]

Samuel Lamont If you pay more initially what do you expect

[@MrMazda-ih8cw]

Great comparison! I just wish I was able to decide myself between these two trucks but no dice - not available in the US #ForbiddenFruit

[@Souvannalak]

Comparing the Hilux 2.8L 4 cylinder to a BT50 3.2L 5 cylinder or the big brother Ford Ranger. It's like Ladyboy vs Man with that massive screen reminding your self how pretty you look in the mirror. Yes the Hilux was once the King of all utes and it might be the top seller then, but also there's a lot of them selling second hand so what does that tell you, just because someone say it was. Even the Isuzu D-Max the Holden Colorado has better chassis come on this is 2017 not 2007 stop you marketing bxllshxt.

[@presleymaphosa3702]

Love it or hate it, Hilux is the king💪

[@allanmanyenga7797]

I think he is comparing cars manufactured the same year

[@yejietea2081]

Malaysia one bt50 don't have lcd player and leather seat~

[@crankyoldcoot7212]

It is a ute or car. It is not a truck.

[@rsoul7282]

Next time please compare pork sausages with eating lettuce. Using only chopsticks, Thankyou.

[@RickyRegal777]

Tf did you say at the beginning

[@samuellamont3971]

When I tipped my Mazda the body bent around the plastic dash

[@samsimons1105]

that is a UTE not a fkn Truck

[@Supermazs]

When they going bring some to USA

[@thebeerhunter817]

for once a review where Toyota didn't pay off the reviewer.

[@LTT.Official]

I liked the hilux but the new video with it failing the moose test is troubling. In my country dogs run out in front of cars all the time, last thing I want to do is flip.

[@mrbenpmuir]

ThisIsAPrettyLongUserNameWhyTheFuckWouldHeDoThatSoThatEveryoneWouldThumbsUpIt same thing in Australia but with kangaroos mate they are everywhere at dusk and will jump straight in front of you

[@lloydchikwenhere5985]

i saw another video with a the toyota passing the moose test.so my question is which vid is true

[@wazakiYEAH]

ThisIsAPrettyLongUserNameWhyTheFuckWouldHeDoThatSoThatEveryoneWouldThumbsUpIt they updated it already but only europe

[@Steven15889]

ThisIsAPrettyLongUserNameWhyTheFuckWouldHeDoThatSoThatEveryoneWouldThumbsUpIt just run it over

[@bobpfaff2258]

Christ - get a life - the USB port is not where you want it.

[@andynguyen1148]

One word to describe this car. POLISHED ..

[@KempeeEyasOfficial]

hilux is failed in moose test. ..

[@guyproulx1660]

The mighty Hilux will always be the KING

[@sallydelacruz884]

guy proulx KING OF ROLLS

[@guyproulx1660]

Sally Dela cruz Yep, if you don't know how to drive it can happen, i don't see Isis rolling them, do you?

[@mrbenpmuir]

guy proulx they are on sand not bitumen

[@guyproulx1660]

Ben Muir still doesn't change anything, like i said earlier, if you don't know how to drive you can roll over any truck

[@mrbenpmuir]

guy proulx well it kind of does when you factor in that these are lifestyle vehicles more than anything now and the hilux isn't safe on bitumen in the event of a high speed evasive movement as its susceptible to roleover. the ranger is king currently anyway.

[@yolanda9550]

Haha,you can consider installing a Gas Spring for this car.

[@helenpaulisbo4606]

Wow

[@edwinurgel1511]

Hilux-Taliban Approved!

[@matthewfyfe8422]

The screen in particular? "A little bit aged and dated compared to the hilux and it's not quite as functional for that reason" What, how? Please explain instead of blurting a random opinion please... Also there's no point mentioning the leaf springs and explaining they won't feel as comfortable as a coil spring suv.. Please don't call it a car, it's a ute. Why is your review on the bt-50 5mins and the hilux 2mins? What a shit review.

[@dratempest610]

matthew fyfe none of these car/ute reviewers know much about the infotainment in the Mazda , it has a lot of features that most people haven’t heard of or know about, like the logging of all gps routes taken ,fuel burn max/min speed max/min , average rpm ,the inbuilt hard drive/memory for storing up 8 of your favourite CDs /DVDs, the reversing camera display can be displayed in the centre console for around $40 nz, the conversion tables, sci-calculator , iPod , iPad etc .

[@glowypaper7779]

I LOVE TOYOTA HILUX AND THE BEST ,TOYOTA HILUX=TOYOTA HI LUXURY

[@sonwabomkhuseli6164]

I love my Bt50 I have now itrest In anther bakkie

[@paulr4784]

blah blah blah whatever I will still always buy the Hilux. let's see in 8 years which car will still be running. I don't see any 8 year old Mazda utes or ranger utes on the road. HILUX will always rule!

[@trianggaindralukmana2184]

Paul R we have fleet bt50 2011 on our company, at 2014 many of them has falling apart interior, injector fault and 4x4 failure so we only run on 2 wd on 2016 most of them started rusting

[@MakinaSatanica]

All depends on how you take care of your car.

[@Alphaaussiegaming]

I recently bought a 2013 xtr upstaging from a much older bt which I did have for more then 8 years and still ran like a dream never had a problem with it so I don’t see the problem and I agree it’s about how u take care of it

[@wuttiwongchalaroengphan818]

But is good

[@Jay-jp2iv]

Hilux still to stiff for the road, and fails moose test

[@sny9414]

Jay hilux now passes the moose test after Toyota fixed the problem. It was retested by the people that failed it and now it passed.

[@mrmikecebu]

just say I made up my mind that toyota is better...the interior of the bt50 is completely better and by the way they are not connected to ford anymore.

[@mrmikecebu]

the BT50 is a screaming better deal.

[@vincemadrigal580]

what is the color of hilux?

[@Muffinrider]

Fk me... The king really is dead.

[@simp2234]

I away think tundra is the best but I think these are for girls

[@tonesbones502]

My mate has a BT50, its a good performer for the money but its interior is unrefined and it always seems to be in and out of the workshop with air conditioning problems. His stock stereo is very average as well.

[@bjbuckley6108]

The hilux is a roll over a 60 km plus but ugly plus 2.8

[@carljhonson4445]

i got the hilux over the bt because of the rear lights on the bt loll

[@SuperSandman13]

Hilux crap towing rate compared to other utes

[@user-uk9uc1zs7w]

diverant abige diversnt hi luxe agood care

[@MTBrider26]

Not word one about their 4WD capabilities or even that they are 4WD. Might as well have been testing 2WD versions of these utes. How is this relevant to readers or even able to be called a review? Don't say driving in a bit of sand they found under a bridge is off-roading. Junk review. I can find out most of the information provided in this review in a glossy dealer brochure.

[@alexrafaelduarte4179]

To sum up, buy a Toyota

[@mathieuhilario846]

hilux Quality is bad

[@alishb4897]

ford raptor is best

[@randikeabeysinghe1396]

Hilux better

[@Abu7929]

Keep dreaming... as if you would spend 53k on the Mazda to feel like your sitting in an outdated truck. The Hilux is pricey but I haven't been able to fault it. Loads of power, effortless in all situations I have been in, from towing a loaded dual axle trailer to the hill decent control up and down muddy cliffs... all in supreme comfort. Very well designed interior, lots of space for large adults even in the back, drink holders up the arse, excellent seats, well designed centre console, it's even got a 240v inverter.

[@Bassin_withaustin]

We have chevys which are way bigger
