Mazda B4000 1995 4.0L
Very reliable, gas mileage 18-19 mpg, Had some electrical issues in interior.
Best simple truck
This is the best truck for the price. With 380,000 miles on it, it's still running strong. No major issues at all, just keep up with the regular maintenance then you will not have any problems. Parts are cheap and many DYI's you can do.

Everything You Could Ask
Though I have only owned my B4000 for a few months, I love it! I did my research based upon these types of reviews and then went shopping to find a used truck. It took a while but when I found my B4000 LE I jumped on it. It performs just as others have claimed. Basically, works as advertised and then surprises you with a little more.
B4000 LE
I bought this truck with 17,000 miles on it, and it now has 96,000. Other than normal maintenance, I haven't had to make ANY repairs to this truck. Very well built and very reliable. This is my 2nd Mazda B-Series truck - first one was a B2300, this one a B4000. Very impressed by both. My only 2 complaints- I would like to see better gas mileage (4.0L V6), and recently there is a slight transmission slip between 2nd and 3rd gear on the auto transmission.
Great little pickup
I bought this truck from the first owners son. He had drove it while in the military that brought him through 3 states around the country. It had 114k on the clock, and I've put another 60k since. The only trouble the previous owner had was a worn clutch, and the usual maintenance. Same here, w/ a timing belt at 160k. I can't complain much, except about the usual complaints for this model year for the B series Mazda and Ford Rangers. Mysterious electrical problems, that can drive you a little crazy! And underpowered 2.3l engine. But the pluses outnumber the annoyances. If you get her right? Buy it. You won't regret owning this baby.
