Best 1/4 ton ever

This truck keeps going and going. Mine has 170 000 kms on it now, and other than oil changes, the only repair I ever made was brake pad changes. The truck is small a good on gas - but it is still powerful enough to pull a boat or ski doo. What more could you ask for?

Stay away from this one. I have owed this truck for 4 years and have had nothing but problems. I have spent over 4000 dollars on repairs to this truck in the time I have owed it. The four wheel drive system is the worst design ever and plan on going through brake pads every 20000 miles.

My Humpty Dumpty

No where does it say that Humpty Dumpty is an egg. Having said that I will tell y'all , she has 334.500+ miles on her. She runs great. Original motor original transmission. She's a 5 speed so yes basic maintenance has been done. Clutch and all that stuff but besides every vehicle maintenance this girl is good. I absolutely hate one thing tho. She has not enough weight in the back end and wet grounds and no weight equal having to deal with spinning tires when stopped and on a slight incline.

I have loved this truck for 8 years now. Though it has now over 100,000 miles and is still running great. I am ready to upgrade to a larger truck as I am a larger man. Just keep up with the maint. and it will problably run forever.

A1994 Mazda B-4000 L.E., with 139K miles, the last year of Twin I beam suspension. Rides like a Lincoln, pulls loads like a Duce and a half. The perfect vehicle, rain or shine. The only real problem was the power door locks, they quit, but I know how to use a key, so be it. My truck gets an honest 21 mpg on the interstate @ 75mph, and 17 around town. Use clean filters, good oil and don't cowboy the tranie, and I bet she will outlast me. Best vehicle I ever owned, and that goes back to 1958!
