You're likely to associate Mazda with the MX-5 Miata and rotary engines but the Japanese company has a long tradition with trucks. As a matter of fact, the first Mazda-badged model, launched in 1931, was a three-wheeled open truck called the Mazda-Go. The firm's first passenger car, the R360, also got a truck version when the K360 came out in the 1960s. Many other pickups followed, and in 2024, the BT-50 continues the lineage.
