Mazda B-Series Overview
A light, compact pickup truck, the Mazda B-Series has been sold in North America for more than two decades, and actually had its origins in the mid-1970s, when Mazda starting building compact pickup trucks for Ford. In the 1980s, Ford decided to launch its Ranger series, based on the platform originated by Mazda, while Mazda split away to launch its B-Series line of compact pickup trucks.
Though never as popular as trucks built by Ford and other foreign automakers such as Toyota, the Mazda B-Series trucks have been solid, reliable, and well-built throughout their run, garnering a large number of loyal fans and buyers.
Througout most of its run, the B-Series has been available with both standard and extended (Cab Plus) cabs, as well as in two-wheel-drive and four-wheel-drive versions. Engines have ranged from an 85-horsepower, 2.2-liter (2200 cubic centimeters) four-cylinder engine to the current 207-horsepower, 4.0-liter V6, which is the largest, most powerful engine available for the B-Series.
A few words about nomenclature. Throughout its run, the B-Series trucks have taken their name from their engine size, so trucks with the 2.2-liter (2200cc) engine became the B2200, while trucks with the 3.0-liter engine (3000cc) became the B3000, and trucks with the 4.0-liter (4000cc) engine became the B4000, and so forth. Trim packages included the SE, SX, Dual Sport, and Troy Lee versions (the latter named for a designer of extreme-sports and racing equipment).
Initially standard features for the B-Series trucks were sparse, but they have been expanded through the years, with rear-wheel anti-lock brakes becoming an important standard feature. In the 1990s, extended cabs received four doors, with current models featuring rear-hinged rear doors that can be opened only when the front doors are open.
The truck also has seen a few name changes through the years. Initially known as the B-Series, it became simply the Mazda Truck for a couple of years, from 2002 to 2003, before being rebadged as the Mazda B-Series Truck in 2004.

Great truck! Excellent care with quality parts.
This car was over priced for the mileage. It’s in good condition, but not for $4,500.00
Performance is decent at low speeds, could use more passing power. 4.0l engine prone to oil leaks. Repairs are cheap as everything interchanges with the Ford Ranger. Mile is around 26 highway and 18 city. Manual transmission provides better economy than automatic. Overall a decent little truck.
tough tough tough can explain this truck. very fun to drive i look forward to making this lil truck work for me. great all around truck.. very dependable very comfortable, very strong. great lil truck. everyone needs a mazda b-series in their drive way. or like mine everyone needs one to play in the woods and in the mud. performance---great work truck- it is not a race car but if i wanted a race truck i would have built one build quality--very tough and durable no squeeks or rattles appearance--very sporty look very sleek look as well there are lil blind spots but nothing bad cost of ownership--i havent dumped any money into this truck. the only thing that i have done to it besides regular mantaince is i change the EGR valve but that is common. the only thing that some people wouldnt like is that it doesn't get the gas milage like some people think a midsized truck should get. it gets about 20 mpg but it is also a 4wd so i don't think that it is that bad. fun factor--there are not words to describe this trucks fun factor. with that i think that is sells itself. it is fun and great to know that i can work the hell out of this truck and know that it will take it. it is fun to drop it into 4wd and put it anywhere i want to go it is also fun to was off the mud and yuck and take this sporty lil truck out for a night on the town. would i recomend this truck...oh yea everyone needs one
gets good gas mileage for a truck, great interior, sporty truck, very solid
