Although occasionally coming across mechanical problems, it was nothing that ever couldn't be fixed with spending a minimal amount of money. Great drive.

I purchased my Mazda B4000 when it was 2-years old. I have had no problems with it other than simple, cheap fixes that are standard with the vehicle, and it is now 2002. The truck accelorates more than powerful enough (you might spin your wheels from time-to-time!), and the AC will freeze you to death. I live in NC and I have driven to Florida, Texas, and West-Virginia in my truck, and I didn't worry one bit about not making the journey. I now have 170,000 miles on the truck. I plan on keeping this truck until the wheels fall off, which at this rate, won't be for another 20 years. I love this model/year truck and would recommend it to anyone.

It has a few quirks but this little truck has never left me stranded. It's got between 250 - 300k miles on it.(odometer quit at 177k ). It's been in a few minor front end bangs but drives and runs fantastic. Love it!!! Looking for another one. This little truck has been the BEST vehicle I have ever owned. Bought a brand spanking new S-10 in 1993 and it couldn't even make it to 100k before it started falling apart. Ranger drivers for life.
