The Isuzu D-Max and Holden Colorado offer a slightly more useful payload capacity , with around 20kg available over the total weight of the basic gear listed above .
Mazda ’ s changes to the BT-50 have certainly paid dividends when it comes to remaining payload with a big trailer in tow . It now has close to a 200kg advantage over its Ford rival .
The Dodge Ram is the largest and most expensive vehicle here and , according to the TV advertisements , it eats utes for breakfast . You would think it would beat all before it , but its remaining payload capacity sits around the middle of the pack . Perhaps a change of diet is in order .
