When it comes to the Mazda BT-50, all the attention is focused on the top-of-the-line 3.0 4x4; and rightfully so. Priced at P 1.790-million, it’s an often-overlooked choice in the pickup truck segment. Not only does it offer competitive specs vis-à-vis its price tag, it also comes with one of the country’s best ownership packages . Go a step down, however, and things aren’t so shiny anymore.
Mazda, realizing that no one was taking the bait for their 4x2 truck, quickly came up with this: the BT-50 4x2 Black Edition. Mind you, it doesn’t completely solve all of the 4x2 AT’s issues, but because it’s a no cost option, it does improve the value-for-money proposition. Personally, I like what Mazda’s done outside, but the final judgement, I guess, rests on individual taste. I know some people complain that it doesn’t look, “Black Edition” enough, but honestly, what more can you do? Paint the door handles and side mirrors black? It’ll just look too fussy. But again, beauty is in the eye of the beholder.
With a shared powertrain, there’s almost nothing that separates the BT-50 in 4x2 and 4x4 guise, drive-wise. The Isuzu-sourced 3.0-liter engine is lazy to rev, relying instead on its broad torque curve to help push the almost two-ton body forward. A light right foot is all that’s needed to keep a decent pace going, especially since this 4x2 sheds some 100 kilograms in curb weight versus the 4x4. Furthermore, the six-speed automatic is well matched to the engine.
