Hi all - we have had our BT-50 for 11 months now. Same colour as scottnbulldog - but we have had numerous extras installed. I hadn't heard any good reports on the Mazda accessories - so had TJM fit most of our gear. The gear is impressive - unfortunately the installation was a disaster. Had to take it back numerous times. Longranger tank, TJM NZ bullbar, TJM canopy, diesel timer, snorkel, spotties, Roo Systems 12,000 kg winch and lots of other bits.
We live on the road in our 24ft Kingdom Balmoral van - which is our home. The Mazda uses 15ltrs per 100 Klms when we pull the van, and we get around 8.5 without the van. Around town about 10.5.
We have done just on 18,000 klms now and it is just starting to get "run in". We bought ours online, and our dealer (West End Mazda in Parramatta) were pretty good.
$49,000 when our local Maroochydore Mazda dealer wanted $57,000. Worst problem is getting services done. Have had to use "other" repairers as all of the Mazda dealers were 8 weeks behind.
