The Mazda BT-50 (model code J97M) is a compact/mid-sized pickup truck produced by the Japanese manufacturer Mazda since 2006. It is a larger version of the predecessor B-Series pickup and is not sold in the Japanese and North American markets. Until 2011, Ford had also sold a version of the first-generation BT-50 as the Ford Ranger and as the SUV Ford Everest. From 2011 the second-generation Ranger has been designed by Ford Australia, with a Mazda derivative sold as the BT-50.

Ford also offers an SUV version of the Ranger, known as the Ford Everest in Asia, Central America, and the Bahamas, and since late 2009 as a 2010 model, in South Africa, where it replaces the Australian-sourced Ford Territory. In India, it is called the Ford Endeavour.

The second-generation Everest has three rows of seating, and rear- or four-wheel drive. It offers Duratorq diesel engines and two different drivetrains: 4x2 for 2.5-liter 143 hp (107 kW) models, and 4x4 for 3.0-liter 156 hp (116 kW) models. In addition, the redesign featured the new five-speed automatic transmission with a Borg Warner transfer case, and the new Active-Shift-on-the-Fly (4x4 only) for the first time.

In the United States, Ford had planned to name an extended-length version of the Ford Expedition the Everest in 2006 as a replacement for the Ford Excursion, but changed at the last minute and decided to rename it the Expedition EL.[4]

In mid-2009, the Everest received a facelift in Southeast Asia, in line with the Ranger's recent update. This facelifted 2009 edition of the Ford Everest continues to be available with either a 2.5-liter turbodiesel with 143 PS (105 kW; 141 hp) or a 3.0-liter turbodiesel with 156 PS (115 kW; 154 hp).

Also, a model for east Africa has a 2.5-liter turbodiesel with only 107 PS (79 kW; 106 hp), torque 268/2000. In Singapore, the Everest is used by Singapore Guards as a Protected Light Utility Vehicle.

A third facelifted model of the Everest was unveiled at the Manila International Auto Show in April 2013. On 29 April 2014, the third facelift Ford Endeavour was launched in India. This Endeavour features a touch-sensitive SATNAV entertainment system with Navigation Bluetooth audio control and reverse parking camera. Its manual variant comes with a 2.5-liter Duratorq TDCi paired to a five-speed manual transmission.
