Mazda BT-50 2025 review: 4x4 Thunder Pro Pack
By Chris Thompson · 13 Aug 2024
The most expensive Mazda ute comes with plenty of kit, but its price is creeping close to the likes of Ford's venerable Ranger Raptor without the muscular might to match. So, does the BT-50 Thunder Pro bring value in other ways?

Mazda BT-50 2023 review: GT - off-road test

Mazda BT-50 2023 review: XTR long-term | Part 5
By Mark Oastler · 10 Feb 2023
We're big fans of the annual Bathurst 12 Hour race for GT3 cars on Mount Panorama. So, having watched it on TV for years, we decided the 2023 event would be a great excuse for a long overdue road trip from Melbourne to the NSW central west to experience this great event trackside for the first time.

By Tim Nicholson · 28 Oct 2022
Two years after the Isuzu D-Max-based Mazda BT-50 launched, is it still one of the top pics of the dual-cab segment? We drive it on road and off to see whether it still has the goods.

Mazda BT-50 2023 review: XTR long-term | Part 1
By Mark Oastler · 14 Sep 2022
The Australian launch of the latest generation BT-50 in June 2020 heralded a significant change for Mazda's ute, as it was the first to 'platform share' with Japanese commercial vehicle giant Isuzu after previous pairings with Ford's Ranger.
