Best Vehicle I've Ever Owned

1999 Mazda B-Series Pickup B2500 SX 2dr Regular Cab SB (2.5L 4cyl naturally aspired 5M)

I have a website dedicated to my year 2000 Mazda B2500 SX, and the reason is because this truck is simply unbeatable in terms of reliability, affordability, and durability. I've put some money into getting things fixed, but I've largely been able to do all the fixes myself, from a clutch to U-joint, to an alternator, to a starter. At this point, if I had to put $1500 into it to get the transmission rebuilt, for instance (which I won't have to because it's 5-speed tranny is bulletproof), I'd spend the money. Sure I could buy a new vehicle at that point, but why? I have one of the best little trucks the world has ever seen!

I beat the hell out of this truck and I have put it in place that I shouldn't be. The 4wd has never let me down. For a mid sized truck the payload is great. I treat this truck like a truck. Work work work and it gives gives and gives. I have never asked it to do something and it was not able to do it. Oh yeah it is also a great fun truck to drive. It has taken me fishing many many times. I really enjoy driving this truck. It is fun and I really look forward to driving it. I car pool and I take turns driving from week to week and I get excited about driving cause I get to drive my truck. Get a Mazda b3000 you will not regret it

The B-2500 series is a very good truck. I bought the truck new (in 2000) and have had it since. I have over 133,000 miles on my truck. It is very dependable. I just had my clutch replaced, but other than that, the truck is in top form. the exterior is in good shape to since I still have the original paint job. Highly recommended!

Purchased this new in 1999 and it has been a perfect utility vehicle. No problems at all and has been in shop only for routine maintenance which is minimal. Still all the original systems including brakes. Just replaced the original tires. Rides smooth for a small truck and handles well in all conditions for a two wheel drive. Good gas mileage and simple systems and controls. It's a 4 cylinder (which I recommend for reliability) and a manual transmission. Paint and trim are still like new.

We bought our Mazda truck almost 4 years ago and the only reason the previous owner was selling it was because he had terminal cancer and could no longer drive.We have gotten so much value and dependability from our truck and it still runs strong.We could not ever sell our truck and it has been so dependable for us.Never once has it ever broken down on us and parts seem to last forever.The only part we have had to replace is things that require general upkeep .The battery is our only replacement .We service it every 3 months for oil changing and to make sure all the belts and hoses are good.Never have had to replace any yet.I strongly suggest considering a Mazda for your next vehicle.We have a 2008 Mazda 6 and she runs strong too.They build vehicles to last and last.

Purchased this truck in 05 it had 80000 miles when I purchased it. It has proven to be the very dependable and has only required a few repairs. I had to replace 4x4 hub on the front but as I regularly am off road this is just a minor repair. This truck is a little under powered for heavy loads that approach its weight limit but it pulls my 19 foot bass boat and camping trailer just fine. This truck is perfect for drivers who do not need a full size truck and need a daily driver.

I had a ranger before the mazda and they are about the same inside, look alikes by ford. Bought this little truck when gas was $4 a gallon and the astetics of the truck i like but i only get around 15mpg with it is a auto but my ranger 2.3 was around 20. I have to run supreme in mine or i get the "pinging" when i am on the highway. Was alittle disappointed in the lack of power in the 3.0. But i love the truck but i think i am going back to a diesel. Same mpg but bigger and the differance between supreme and diesel is about .10. Little sluggish on the hi-way. Overall i say that it is a good little truck for what it was made for. My dad road in the excab for 500 miles. he is tuffer than i am.

This truck has exceeded all of my expectations for a small truck. We've hauled heavy loads over mountain passes, frequently taken it off-road and even commuted in it for a few months. It's comfortable and reliable. I was a Ford girl, test driving Rangers, when I found this truck for a better price. I have no regrets.

I've been under this vehicle a lot, and let me tell you, for it being a midsize truck it is built like a brick BLEEP-house. It's a V6, pulling a heavy mid size truck, this isn't one of those small pickups, it is a mid size truck that gets close to the same MPG as small pickups, esp. since I have the 4WD. For a truck that is 16 years old, it is running like a beast. I was out shooting and a full size truck (Chevy Silverado) was stuck at the bottom of a hill in some soft dirt. My little truck in 4WD was able to pull the truck out of the soft dirt, and up the dirt hill, and his truck had no power the entire time. Vehicle has great MPG, great performance (for what it is) & it's reliable

This is a great little truck with a couple of exceptions. My dealer told me it would handle my boat. Yes but at what price? 10 mpg. pulling the boat,and maybe 50 mph on any kind of hill (2200 lbs). The owners manual says 3500 towing. It is no where near that in real life. Also the gas mileage is not great @ 18 mpg.empty and that is with a bed cover.

Overall, this is a pretty good little workhorse truck. The dealer was responsive on the recall issues for the windshield wipers switch and the replacement of the central control system computer which eliminated the pinging problem. This truck has been very reliable and the costs for service at the dealership have been lowerthan expected. The B3000 could use more power.

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.

This is my third Mazda pickup and it is a fine truck by my way of thinking, it has plenty of power and gives a decent fuel milage as well. Of my four vehicles that I own if I had to pick only one it would be this pickup. I rate this vehicle higher then my 2002 Mercedes E320 4-Matic.

It quite capable as an off-road truck (with good tires) and it's also pretty smooth on the road. The engine is a bit of a dog, and you really have to work it to get any acceleration (best b/w 3-4000 rpm). I found mine to be rather loud from the engine compartment, and the driveshaft and transmission make alot of subtle clunks and clanks. I was able to get 20-23mpg in the summer, but only 16-19 in the winter (hwy)

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.

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

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.

This truck has never been back to the dealer. We do oil changes as necessary as well as other maintenance. The only dig are the two jump seats as they are quite uncomfortable although the truck was not bought for them. We have loaded lots of dirt, towed trailers, and generally treated this truck like a truck and have no complaints.

A few minor items were fixed by local dealer during warranty period. My only repair expense - air control for engine intake $52 part that I replaced myself nearly 2 years ago. Tires were replaced by Firestone/Bridgestone under warranty @ 18,000 miles no charge, I'm still on those tires. Original battery is still good. Please tell me of a more reliable, low operation cost pickup truck.

For a person who is not into trucks this truck is okay. Cannot complain about price. Truck was originally @ $15000.00 and got it for just over $11,000.00. Gas milage seems okay. Problem with sensors going out. I keep having problems with the engine "pinging" no matter what kind of gas is put into it. Have confronted dealership about "pinging" several times and I am not getting anywhere. Truck has 32 thousand miles on it.

I had been searching for some time for a pickup that was both economical to operate and comfortable to drive. The Mazda B2500 fits both criteria with added bonuses thrown in. I am 6'3" tall and I usually have a difficult time getting in and out of the smaller sized pickups. I have tried , Isuzu, Dodge Dakota,Etc....all with the same result...I feel like I need to unfold after climbing in or out. I can actually sit upright in a Mazda B2500! I have also been averaging 28-30 mpg!

Overall, the truck has been a delight to own. Really researched my purchase and for the money, I think this is one of the best values on the road. To date, I've put roughly 60,000 miles on the vehicle and have had no engine related problems to speak of. The only "major" problem I have had was the heater went out at about 35,000 miles, which was promptly fixed by the dealership. As another reviewer mentioned, the CD player does tend to get excessively hot after extended use, so the CD's come out of the player nearly scalding hot, however the CD player and speaker system sound terrific. The gas mileage should be better, as I get 22 mpg with an automatic.

My dad bought this truck used 9 yrs ago as light general duty truck. It was the most reliable vehicle we ever owned. It became my first car in 09 when i was 16. In 9 years the only problems were a bad ignition and leaking roof, that's it! The thing was tougher than any truck Ive ever seen, a bumpy gravel road at 60 mph was a walk in the park. I cant believe a truck could get 24 mpg and it may not have much power but that's why its light duty. The 5 spd manual had perfect gear ratios. My truck was mazda ZOOM ZOOM fast but not really haha, topped out at 80. it was eventually rear ended by a truck going 70 mph but i was okay, it got annihilated but saved my life.

The 4.0L V6 provides plenty of starting, passing, and pulling power. City gas mileage with the A/C on is miserable, ~15mpg. Without cargo, this truck is sometimes embarassing to drive on hilly roads (like Seattle) in the rain, as the rearend is very light. I end up using the 4WD to make turns on hills and quick moves into traffic from side streets. Reliability has been good, at 59,000 miles I've only had one problem, minor at first, that turned worse because of lack of interest from the original dealer. A different dealer immediately addressed the problem (then big) and did a warranty repair. All things considered, this is a good vehicle.

Told him my what I was willing to pay, he called back with vehicle meeting my specs. at my price. Enjoy driving vehicle, drive 65/70 miles per day. Would have enjoyed the bigger engine, but couldn't find in TL package at that time. Great gas mileage (18-19 with auto and air). Little bumpy on ride due to big (16" tires @ 35 psi), but bareable.

I have had this truck for 7 years. No big problems at all. Wiper switch failed and the odometer quit at 72000. I am at 98,000 miles so far and see no reason it won't go 200k. Just change the oil every 3500 miles and it'll treat you well.

An awesome truck, I can't say enough! Fun to drive, reliable and a good looking. I bought the truck new 10 years ago and at 160,000 miles it's still going strong. When I go to sell it, someone will be getting a great deal. Besides normal maintenance, oil changes and brakes I cannot complain. Rear wheel drive can present some problems during inclement conditions. For the money the Mazda truck is a great value and I would buy another in a heartbeat, although I wish they would update their body style (not much has changed within the past 10 years).

Nice truck, inside and out. Lacks tire squalling power but will still get with it. I've been having problems with mileage, 15 average, and with only 32,000 it should be better. I have never had problems with the truck in any weather. It is a great buy, (but get the 4.0L)

very reliable so far except for that the engine speed does not drop immediatly when the clutch is engaged unless RPM is higher than 2300. Wasn't happy about it so to make me a loyal Mazda customer I was given a FREE 100K 7 year warranty bumper to bumper with no deductable.

very good gas mileage for a small truck although not much power. rides well except bouncy on bump areas. seats are thin. Hold the road well if it has weight and snowtires (2wd) even in the Pocono Mountains of PA. Did very well on crash tests.

Since purchase new I haven't had one single mechanical problem with this truck. If your truck shakes at highway speeds check your tires and alignment. If your engine is too loud, get a muffler or repair your exhaust system.

After reading another review, I thought I'd try to balance it with a review of my truck. I have had nothing but good to say about the little B-2500. It's not a V-6; if I had wanted one of those I would have bought it. It's not a Tacoma; ditto. It gives me 25 mpg with the air on and a passenger and camping supplies at 70 mph. It tows my little boats (under a 1000 lb. gross) quite adequately. I have driven it through two Michigan winters (snowy they were) with 2WD; I really like the ABS function in the snow.

2nd Mazda B Series that I have owned. Never had a problem with either, except for rear brake lockup when sitting overnight after getting wet (known problem) on my 2000 B3000 Troy Lee Series. Good trucks - same as the Ranger with a cheaper price and better warranty!

I have put 60,000 miles on my 2000 Mazda B4000, and I have loved every tenth. I've driven this truck cross country, and I don't have a bad word to say about how this truck was built, or its power, handling, etc. I have owned 6 new vehicles, and I have kept this truck longer than all of them, including a '99 Mustang GT, and a '00 ZX2 S/R! So take it from me; Mazda's the way to go if you want a reliable, dependable compact truck!

Where's the gas mileage

I bought this truck with 23,000 miles. It's a nice truck, but avgs about 12mpg. It's gone as low as 9 and as high as 19. The dealer wouldn't fix it. I had to go to another dealer. They replaced the computer, ign. coil and rear driveshaft and the yoke on differential. This truck had 30,000 miles. That improved the mpg by 3mpg. This is a V-6 not a V-8. It also has a problem they can't find with the gas gauge varying. Sometimes it's 1/3 tank, then empty and the low fuel light is on, then back to 1/3 tank. Once it's below 1/3 tank you don't know how much gas is left. It is great for towing. It handles very well in adverse conditions or when doing emergency manuevers.
