Could be better
I bought this truck used in 2005 and it had 79K on it. It ran fine for about 2 months, when suddenly a brake line busted when I was in a parking lot. Had to get a complete brake job done because everything was so rusted. Soon after, I had a problem with the Check Engine light coming on, because it blew an oxygen sensor. Fuel gauge hasn't worked right since I bought it. Runs poorly on the highway, only getting about 20 mpg with 3.0 L V6. Manual 4 spd w/overdrive is a bad choice, bc if there is a slight hill on highway and you are in OD, you will not be able to maintain speed uphill. Runs at WAY too high of RPM on highway. Engine is too loud. Not very reliable. Body starting to rust.
Pings
So far at 45000 miles it's been a good truck. I use it for a work truck, hauling tools and occasionally I pull a trailer. The only problem I have is at certain speeds and acceloration I get pinging. I took it in and had a new computer installed, but still have the same problem. Also, when it pings it smokes. Not has much with higher octane but it still does it.

B3000 is a good truck
I have owned 3 Mazda B series trucks. The only trouble that I have had is a camshaft sensor problem with my current truck. It took the dealership forever to correctly diagnose the problem. Besides this, I have never had any problems with any of the Mazda trucks. My current truck is very attractive, reliable, and comfortable. I would highly recommend the Mazda B Series to anyone.
Beat that!!
Mine has 450000 miles and doesn't even knock. I've totaled it and wrecked it after that. It was wrecked even worse about 8 times before I got it. Not to mention I was t boned in by a vehicle going 50mph while I was turning at a 4 way. Ruined my fender, door, snapped my spindle/hub. Dinged the cab and didn't touch the frame. Airbags did deploy so it's not worth anything to some one with half a mind but I lucked and had a friend with the same truck with a blown motor. Not to mention same color. Everyone said scrap it. I figured since its been such a bad ass little truck that has never broke down on me through the 200000plus miles it's taken me. I'll just swap everything to mine. Now it's back to the same beauty she used to be

Mazda B4000 TL
Overall a very good vehicle. No major problems since purchased new. 4x4 works great. Looks better than a Ford Ranger.
