Until 2011 , Ford had also sold a version of the first - generation BT - 50 as the Ford Ranger and as the SUV Ford Everest .

In late November 2006 , the new five - speed automatic transmission with Borg Warner transfer case has been added , as well as side airbags . The BT - 50 received a minor redesign in the first quarter of 2008 , with a revised interior and several optional items made standard .

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 .
