Vehicle Highlights

Mazda's pickup borrows its underskin design from the Ford Ranger, but differs in styling and features. B-Series offers regular-cab and extended Cab Plus 4 models. All come with a two-passenger front bench seat or optional buckets. Cab Plus 4s add two rear jump seats and rear-hinged access doors. The B2300 has a 2.3-liter 4-cyl engine. B3000s use a 3.0-liter V6, B4000s a 4.0 V6. All offer manual or automatic transmission. B2300 and B3000 are rear-wheel drive only. B4000s have 4-wheel drive that should not be left engaged on dry pavement but includes low-range gearing. Antilock brakes are standard. B-Series' performance and accommodations mirror those of similarly equipped Rangers.

COMPETITION

Consumer Guide® Automotive places each vehicle into one of 18 classes based on size, price, and market position. Compact Pickups offer a true-truck design in a relatively modest package. They are best suited for personal or light-duty use rather than commercial use, heavy hauling, or towing.

Our Best Buy is the Toyota Tacoma. Our Recommended picks are the Dodge Dakota and Honda Ridgeline.

New or significantly redesigned is the Ford Explorer Sport Trac.
