Sharing a chassis with the Ford Ranger didn't mean sharing a look — Mazda's own design team reskinned the BT-50 so thoroughly that only the windscreen, roof and rear screen carried over.

FactSharing a chassis with the Ford Ranger didn't mean sharing a look — Mazda's own design team reskinned the BT-50 so thoroughly that only the windscreen, roof and rear screen carried over.
A full model change of the Mazda BT-50 was revealed in October 2010 at the Australian International Motor Show, based on the Ford Ranger (T6). The BT-50 version was designed by a Mazda team based at Ford Australia's design center in Melbourne, with both Ford and Mazda working independently; of the exterior panels only the windscreen, roof and rear screen are common with the Ranger, though the underpinnings are largely the same. A revised BT-50 for the 2016 model year debuted in July 2015, and the UR series facelift is mainly cosmetic with no change in engine specifications; another facelift followed for the Australian market in 2018.

Owning one
We don’t estimate running costs for a car like this. What it costs depends on its condition, its specialist and how it is driven, and an average would mislead.

Photographs
This BT-50 ditched the usual radar for adaptive cruise control, using twin windscreen cameras instead — a deliberate move so owners could still bolt a bull bar or winch to the front.

Despite the badge, this is a Mazda you'll never see at home: the BT-50 is neither sold nor built in Japan.
Rivals

When Mazda's E2000 — the truck that became the Titan — launched in January 1964, the factory was tasked with building 1,900 of them a month.
Swaraj Mazda built this truck under license in India from 1985, and the plant survived name changes all the way to SML Isuzu.
Indonesia built this pickup for 28 years with no successor, the last one leaving the Jakarta line in January 2019 after 324,960 units.
Suzuki's first-ever diesel engine, fitted to the Super Carry, is so small that it isn't able to power an air-conditioning system at all.
A right-hand-drive DJ-3A was built so postal drivers could reach roadside mailboxes without leaving the seat.
The Power Wagon name and civilian pickup design were derived directly from the WC-series military trucks Dodge built for World War II.
Suzuki kept the L20 Carry at the exact same 21 hp as its predecessor but still called it progress — the gain was a patented Cylinder Crank Injection lubrication system, not more power.
This generation of Titan quietly became the ancestor of two other trucks entirely: it was license-built by Kia as the Kia Titan in South Korea, and formed the basis of the Australian Ford Trader.
