Mazda has announced that its next-generation BT-50 ute will be based on the next Isuzu D-Max.

When we bought our 2014 Dmax, we were told at the Isuzu dealership (WA's largest), that many parts for the ute came from the Holden factory or were imported totally built up.

Hopefully with Mazda, we will get the best of both makes to produce a "super" ute lol

I heard that the new Dmax will have a smaller 2.5ltr turbo and super charged diesel like the Amarok in the next model. I wonder if the Mazda will have the same? Isuzu have always had great motors.
