Used 2005 Mazda B-Series Truck Consumer Reviews
Mazda trucks
As an owner of a 2004 B3000 dual sport, this is my seventh Mazda truck that I have owned, all of them new except one, which I traded in for my dual sport. None of these truck have given me any problems at all. I like the feel, comfort, and performance that Mazda builds. I have owned a 1997 Chevy Z-71 and had problems with the transmission, so I went back to Mazda and will not own any other make truck. Mazda makes a very reliable vehicle, and with the look of the dual sport, it is very attractive. Mine is silver and love every moment I get behind the wheel.
A Winner
This truck is affordable, reliable, and a blast to drive. The performance is great and this little truck is powerful for its class. Exterior and interior design is fantastic and stylish. I can't say enough good things about this truck!
Mazda 4wd sport truck
Back seats suitable for children only. Great for towing trailer. Used with lightweight camper. Very good gas mileage. Still running great with 100,000 miles plus. Biggest down side is rusting of frame. Cleaned / sandblastef once, undercoated every few years still rust is advancing. Think rust of frame will be its demise. Update-frame rusted through in several places. The rest of the vehicle was still in very good operating condition. Engine and transmission no problems. Still running great after 90,000 miles. Biggest fault is tendency for undercarriage rust. Other problem area, replaced 4wd actuator twice. UPDATED 8/11/2019 Attempted several times to have airbags replaced at dealer. Was told the parts are back ordered and I would be notified when available, this was over a year ago. Seems they really are not interested in doing this.

Plain truck for real men
Needed a work truck. Got it and more. 5-speed, AMFM, cruise, split rear window, rear bumper, bed liner in a simple truck. Bench seat is a real winnder. Rides and handles like a truck.. do we have a problem here? Reliable, long warranty. Choose over its twin, the Ford Ranger for a better price and longer warranty.
Disappointed with Truck
As someone who puts a truck through its paces 6 days a week on rough, dirt roads, I have been somewhat disappointed with this vehicle. I've had one side mirror replaced that wouldn't hold its position, one headlight which was loose, the rear pinion seal replaced twice, the mud flaps on the rear replaced and modified (the lip on the bottom of the flaps hold mud and snow and the weight pulls the flap off since they are not attached except by one bolt and two screws), I am currently waiting for a replacement valve on the top of the fuel tank that sometimes prevents fuel from entering the fuel tank at a normal speed. Even the service manager is unhappy with this truck's number of problems!
