Wheeling It!

Drive Out

|

July 2017

We’ve had our Mazda BT-50 for just over a month, and we used the opportunity to put some proper tyres on it.

Wheeling It!

A bit over than a month ago we received a brand-new Mazda BT-50 3.2 4x4 SLE double cab automatic as a long-term vehicle.

The story, however, goes further back. At the beginning of the year we attended the South African launch of the new BT-50. Here we chatted to the Mazda bosses and discussed why the BT-50 wasn’t selling better. It’s after all mechanically identical to the Ranger bakkie – which sells really well.

There is room for improvement
