TFS40J XT Cab Chassis Single Cab 2dr Spts Auto 6sp 4x4 1330kg 3.0DT Allegiances change with Mazda's BT-50 workhorse, once shared with Ford's Ranger but now virtually a re-badged Isuzu D-MAX. That's not a bad thing: The third-generation Mazda BT-50, which is available in ute and cab-chassis form, comes with higher levels of safety and an economical 140kW/450Nm 3.0-litre four-cylinder turbo-diesel, available in rear-drive and dual-range 4x4 form and driving through six-speed manual or automatic gearboxes. Autonomous emergency braking, attention assist, automatic high beam, blind spot monitor, emergency lane keeping, lane departure warning, lane departure prevention, rear cross traffic alert, roll over protection, secondary collision reduction and eight airbags, including a front centre airbag, are standard. Towing capacity continues at 3.5 tonnes.
ABS brakes automatically sense when a tire has stopped rotating under extreme braking, and will modulate the brake pressure to allow the tire to rotate.This increases the vehicles ability to turn while braking.
Stability control automatically senses when the vehicles handling limits have been exceeded and reduces engine power and/or applies select brakes to help prevent the driver from losing control of the vehicle.
Front-impact airbags for the driver and passenger have been designed to protect the head during a frontal crash.
Side impact airbags for the front seats have been designed to protect the torso during a side impact collision.
Overhead airbags are used to protect the occupant's heads in the event of a side collision or rollover.
Seatbelt pretensioners automatically tighten seatbelts to place the occupant in the optimal seating position during a collision.
Anti-whiplash head restraints actively react to rear collision forces and craddle the occupants head in an effort to reduce the likelihood of a whiplash injury.
The vehicle is equipped with a means of anticipating and/or detecting unwanted vehicle intrusion. The vehicle is equipped with an ignition disable device that will prevent the engine from starting if the correct original manufacturer key is not used.
