The dual cab ute segment is chocka-block full of vehicles that can do more than just move stuff from worksite to worksite. Many family car buyers are shopping for a 4x4 pickup because these sorts of vehicles now offer equivalent levels of safety, comfort, technology and capability as SUVs or other types of cars.

So in this test, our family reviewer Nedahl Stelio puts two almost identical utes under the microscope to see which is the best bet for a family ute buyer: the Isuzu D-Max or the Mazda BT-50.

These two double cab 4WD pick-up trucks are made on the same production line, drive almost identically, have the same engines and transmissions, but offer different price points, styling, interior finishes and overall different levels of appeal, depending on your tastes.

So should you go for the Mazda ute or the Isuzu ute? Watch to find out Nedahl's take on these two models.

I bought a new 2019 Holden Colorado dual cab tray back in the fire sale in March 2020. I live on acreage so it’s handy for that. I’m not a tradie it stays on the blacktop. I regularly pick up the granddaughters up from school. I put some marine carpet in the tray to stop the school bags from sliding around. The kids tie them down. The point is, I get good use from the Ute unlike most suits in utes. It only cost me $34k, it came with Apple car play and digital speedo so I don’t feel I’m missing out. How prices have risen in only 18 months. Great video by the way.

Fair comparison would be the GT against the x terrain. You put the second bottom mazda against the top dmax.

Nedahl is such a breath of fresh air. Fantastic to see her reviewing utes which you typically see guys reviewing, and ticked all boxes about real world stuff where it matters more of the time than not. Awesome work!! :)

Nedahl's overlay image at 0:08 is so poorly cropped... still using only MS Paint? (2:30am video editing?)

Both win
Da, they are identical despite the looks

[jamiep]

I enjoyed watching the Video. Both are very good

[dinosaucers]

So really the winner in the end is Isuzu

[virakgamer]

Your last review price of Isuzu X terrain is 58, 990$ drive away and after 3 months the price is changed to $63, 990. It’s beat price on cost

Have a 2017 bt50
Have the arb ome bp51 suspension. Every vehicle should have it.

Hey...cause u a Chic I went straight past..
CANT RELY ON CHICS OPINIONS 😁😎😎🇦🇺🇦🇺

[PUKESno]

Should of compared the BT-50 GT or Thunder instead of mid range

[mvnorsel]

Who would have thought work orientated Ute's would have the title ' family Ute's compared '.

[glenn-jvhn]

why didnt you review the GT ? way more comparable

[airlinesecrets]

The value winner is the GWM Cannon X $43, 000 and it does everything you need. Condition being it has 400nm of torque so I would buy the less luxurious Hilux If you were towing a big toy just for the 500nm

[DaveDVideoMaker]

The thing I don’t like about the Mazda BT-50 is that it has a 3 litre engine, but for some reason, I don’t quite understand; it only has four cylinders.
It should have six cylinders.

Just another Ute...meh. Pay more for less.
