CarTell take

We haven't driven the BT-50 yet. On paper, cross-shop the equivalent D-Max grade on drive-away pricing in your state. The GT dual cab pick-up at $68,160 plus on-roads is the sweet spot for tow rig buyers. SP layers in cosmetic upgrades only, no mechanical changes.

Why consider it

  • 3.0L turbo diesel and 3,500 kg braked tow across every 4x4 grade.
  • Rear diff lock standard on all 4x4 variants, not an option.
  • Often cheaper to buy than an equivalent D-Max LS-U or X-Terrain in most months.

What to know

  • No hybrid or 48V option while HiLux now ships mild-hybrid standard.
  • Cabin tech trails Ranger and newer Triton on screen size.
  • Ride is noticeably truck-like unladen, softer once loaded.

Who it suits

Caravan tow rigs, tradies and weekend off-roaders who want Isuzu D-Max running gear with the Mazda showroom experience, full 3,500 kg braked tow and a rear diff lock standard on every 4x4 grade.
