Best vehicle I've ever owned

I bought this truck new in 1991. It now has 233K miles, and until this year, was all original. Other than standard wear (tires, brakes, etc), nothing had been repaired or replaced. It drives great, has been super reliable, and even with 2WD, has been great in off-road type conditions. The manual transmission has been awesome. She's slowing down a bit but still, by far, the best vehicle I've ever owned in the past 30 years. I seriously doubt the Ford Mazdas will even come close.

Excellent Stock 4x4

I have owned this truck for a little over a year and so far I am completely satisfied. I did a lot of research on compact 4x4's before buying and after weighing all the pros and cons of each contender, the B2600i came out on top. Easy to work on, good power for a four banger, good price, great styling, tons of space, nice and convenient cockpit, and excellent reliability/dependability. If you are looking to do heavy modifications, look somewhere else, there's not much of an aftermarket for these guys. But if you are looking for a top notch stock 4x4 this is for you.

I am a sixteen year old driver, who bought this car for 4000 dollars. It came with a canopy, which is why it cost a little more, it started with 121000 miles on it and now i am pushing 200000 and it is still running the same as when i bought it, there is only one minor thing that i can complain about and that is the clutch is now starting to give, and it is an expensive replacement, but seeing as how i learned how to drive a stick in this truck, i brought it upon myself, it is the most reliable car in the family and it gets me where i need to go. I highly reccomend it.

Best truck avail in the world

I've owned over 10 Mazda b series trucks ranging from 87-93. I am a master mechanic and know all vehicles very well. These are the best trucks that are avail in the United States. Very tough, simple and run forever with very little maintenance. The only ones to possibly stay away from would be the 87&88 b2600 trucks that have a Mitsubishi sourced engine, that was somewhat problematic in comparison to Mazda built engines. The 4x4 trucks are totally unstoppable. They are tall and light, and go through everything, but being top heavy they are easy to roll. I rolled my 4x4 and flipped it back on all wheels, let it sit for 30 min, then drove away, just a bent fender. They are tough!

People I know used to call this truck "The Tank." It started up every time without fail. It could maintain higher than highway speeds for extended periods of time, even after 100K miles on it. I am certain that I could have driven it another 200K without any major problems. It was extremely fun to drive, and highly reliable. Despite being a truck, it handled very well. Most amazing was its demise. I was doing something I shouldn't have been doing, and ended up rolling the thing down a ravine and then into a tree. Despite all the damage, the thing could still start up in the salvage yard a few days later! Even in death, it lived up to it's nickname!

Well, I'm at 293,000 miles and it just keeps going and going. This is my second Mazda and Father bought a couple about the same years and always run up to and above 200k. I used to haul papers with it (sometimes thousands of pounds) and it was always reliable.

This truck may be an eyesore and not that comfortable but this truck will not fail you. I got this truck from my dad who bought it new for orchard use. This truck was used mostly for navigating up and down rough apple, grapes, and cherry orchards and is still in perfect shape engine wise. I strongly believe this trucks body and interior will go before the internal parts i.e., engine, tranny.

I bought it with 32,000 original miles in Jan.2008 and now have 64,000 (used for light duty service work). Reliability has been outstanding. Very smooth and silent drive line with good ratio spacing. Brakes very good. Engine is long stroke 2.2L FI truck type- max torque at low rpm. Acceleration and sustained hill climbing are only marginal. Interior quality is marginal. MPG is 20 avg. Ride quality is really rough when unloaded.(torsion bar/leaf). Bench seat very uncomfortable.Sun visors to small to be useful.Front bumper and exhaust system from catalyst on back disintegrated from rust (common for B2200)

I bought this car from the original owner a few yrs ago, needed a cheap truck in a pinch. It never broke down or left me stranded until the engine blew w/ almost 230k miles on the original engine and tranny. It was incredibly reliable although bare bones. Great for a first car or a work truck if you can get one w/ low miles.

I bought this truck new in Dec. 1990 and after 12 1/2 years and 188,000 miles, it still runs GTREAT! Not even a rattle or vibration. The 4X4 pulls better than my full size Bronco, although the Bronco has a tighter turning radius. The A/C is cold, excellent suspension, finally put a clutch in (this requires shopping around). Overall, I have never owned a vehicle this long and it is doubtfull that my next vehicle will last like this one. When she finally goes, she will be missed. If you have a chance to buy one of these, forget Toyota or Nissan. Mazda really made a winner here! Zoom Zoom Zoom.

I've owned my Mazda for a year and a half now and have had absolutely no problems with it. At 115,000 I'm still using the original clutch. I'm currently replacing the front-end suspension and steering wear components (for the first time)...parts are a little hard to find, but no more than any other foreign vehicle. Gas mileage is pretty poor for a 4 banger: 18 city, 21 highway...but the engine has good power for the vehicle (esp. having 115,000) and has given me no troubles...always starts without complaints even in cold weather (I live in Wisconsin).

I bought this truck used in 1993, and have never regretted it. It has NEVER failed me. It has outstanding traction, I have even pulled a Toyota with bigger tires out of a mud hole I had just gone through. The only repairs I have done are Brakes, Battery, Tires, Shocks, Ball joints, the usual wear items, nothing serious. The truck is rated 18 city, 20 highways, but I average 22-24 mpg. I would love to buy a new one but unfortunately now they are rebadged Ford Rangers JUST NOT THE SAME!!!!!!

I bought this truck used and have been enjoying it for over 10 years now. You have to admire a truck that's still in good shape after 140,000 miles. The interior is comfortable, almost luxurious for a truck, and nothing has come loose. The engine has just had the usual routine maintenance items. It's aging gracefully like a fine wine. I had to have the A/C retrofitted to use non-CFC refrigerant. Body rust is minimal even though I've lived near saltwater most of the time. My hat is off to Mazda for a superbly reliable truck. (Don't be fooled - The new "Mazda" trucks are actually Fords.)

I purchased my mazda pickup new and have been amazed at its reliability. The only thing I have had to do other than routine maintanance is recently replace the valve cover gasket which had cracked from age after 13 years of service. I drive this truck hard and cannot believe the original clutch is still working. Hats off to mazda for one of the best made trucks ever!

I bought my 92 b2200 new. 2 clutches and new head gasket at 220k miles and that is it other than belt changes and preventative maintenance . I'm currently having it rebuilt at 356k miles. Got my money's worth. Putting a Weber carb and $1200 total rebuild price. What a great investment.

Although I've only had this truck about 2 years, it's been very reliable. With only 100K on it, its still running strong. The 4WD is very useful on my construction site and also in the snow. Body is still in good shape considering all the New England winters its been through. Decent mileage for a truck (18-20mpg), but replacement parts can be expensive as it is a rare model

Bought it back in 2000, my old ford was run to death by then. Has been very reliable but I have had a few breakdowns, nothing major-major. But that is what you can expect after 235,000 great miles. Overall I love it, and I would definitely buy another.

120K miles on mine with no major problems. Replaced the computer a while back. If you need a new computer for yours, get it from a 3rd party, not the dealer. Big $ from the dealer. This is an extremely reliable truck. Adding a topper makes it an excellent vehicle to carry canoes & kayaks.

Right off the bat lemme mention this thing is 28 years old with 170k on the odometer with no indication of it letting go anytime soon. This truck was built with long term reliability in mind. With an inline 4cyl setup with a 5speed and a larger axle in the back its had very minimal maintenance done to it and runs like a champ. Carberator is easy to tune and all features still operate with minimal oil consumption and replacement parts are super cheap (1 set of plugs costs 8 dollars). Gas milage is super good averaging out at 25ish mpgs depending on driving. Acceleration is dangerously slow but the upside is def. The mpgs. Everything has held up very well and i intend to keep this thing running until it blows up and do an ecoboost swap on it after. Wish i could take pictures as this thing has held up very nicely in the ND weather that destroys newer vehicles. Its old, its slow, but itll run forever and is a perfect beater UPDATE Dec 2018: had this thing about 8 months and no problems outside of a belt change, new fuel pump and tires it's been rock solid. Has 173k on it and drive it to work and back daily. No changes other than that and it kicks down the road at 60 comfortably. Gunna be rebuilding it now instead of swapping to retain the mechanical soundness. Best 1400 dollar purchase I've ever made.

Great truck for several reasons. It will haul a bed full of firewood or other things. It is 4 wheel drive which means you wont get stuck somewhere, The 4 cylinder engine gets good mileage, not like a honda 4 cylinder motor but 20-24 mpg is respectable especially combined with the fact that parts are as cheap as any vehicle on the road. The truck simply is great value.
