BT50 TS - Running costs are high, but no more than you would expect for a truck. It also makes a good family vehicle when needed.

BT50 TS - It ticks all the boxes and does the job, as I wanted it to. The only thing I would like to see improved, is the visability through the rear of the vehicle.

BT50 TS2 - The 2 Mazda BT50 pick up trucks we have from you are ideal in every way except for the windscreen washer bottle which is too small.

Warren Ackroyd said on December 19 2009

BT50 TS2 - So far, an excellent all round vehicle. Surprisingly good on fuel economy. Only 2 criticisms - the tyres - Very poor grip in wet and can catch you out on bends. Tow Bar option way too expensive - We purchsed a Witter Kit complete for £100.

Mark Darley said on December 18 2009

BT50 TS - It surpasses my expectation.I would happily replace it with another. Its shortfalls are its turning lock. In fwd it is not very well syncronised between the two axles, you can feel it winding itself up.(these comments are probably true of all its competitors too) There is rust starting on the wheels already the vehicle is kept pristinely clean so perhaps a better source for the wheels for the manufacturer. I personally will go for alloys next time. The main thing I will comment on is it is too high geared in first. It makes hill starts and setting off with say a trailer require undue clutch slipping. I did not expect the clutch to last very long however it is fine but I am an experienced operator and avoid any undue clutch slip.

BT50 TS - The lock is poor. It is like trying to park a bus - The Nissan had better turning circle. Would have another Mazda. George
