Mazda has introduced two new variants for the latest generation BT-50 for Australia called Single Cab Chassis and Freestyle Cab Chassis. Both new workhorses are available in 4×2 or 4×4 configurations and they come standard with a 6-speed automatic transmission.
Buyers who get their new Mazda BT-50 with the 4WD system can opt for the 6-speed manual transmission as well as a standard rear differential locking system. This can add plenty of off-road ability to the BT-50 package.
