AutoExec Summary
Stephen purchased a 2011 BT-50 in Townsville for $21,000. Despite preferring a HiLux or D-Max, he chose the BT-50 due to cost. The vehicle has a harsh suspension, poor fuel efficiency, and slow acceleration but corners surprisingly well and tows up to 2500kg. Reliability has been decent with minor issues, though some components like the shift actuator and EGR cooler are known weak points. The 3.0TD engine is generally reliable. Despite its flaws, Stephen appreciates its performance, especially off-road. Overall, he’s satisfied with the purchase.
Brands mentioned: Ford, Toyota, Isuzu, Mazda
