Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Torquey 4.0-liter V6 engine, versatile size, tough underpinnings.
Cons
- Dated platform, no crew cab model, limited lineup doesn't match many consumers' needs, uncomfortable seats.
What’s new
Dual Sport and SE models now come standard with conveniences like cruise control, a leather-wrapped tilt steering wheel, a bed liner and power mirrors.
Edmunds says
Unless the Mazda name holds a special place in your heart, there's no reason to consider this ancient compact pickup when there are several equally capable and infinitely more modern competitors available for the same price.

2005 Mazda B-Series Truck 2dr Regular Cab B2300 Rwd SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
I cant help but notice a lot of complaints over the mazda b2300 trucks. i have owned mine for 6 years now. i have never had parts fall off randomly in this time. i drove my truck off the lot with 10 miles on the odometer i have tried burying it in 3 ft of mud. i towed a ford f150 out of the mud that day(stock b2300 is a limited slip 2 wd vehicle)i have driven the oregon dunes, and river … roads.only got stuck twice ever.I have put the truck in a drift coarse made of dirt/ gravel. drag raced it, pulled boats, trailers, wood hauls and more. if your truck is falling apart you might consider a rig more specialized to your driving needs but i cant imagine my P.U. failing in reasonable circumstance.
my first new truck

2005 Mazda B-Series Truck 4dr Extended Cab B4000 4WD SB (4.0L 6cyl 5M)
I can't speak for everyone, but I love this truck. It's my first new truck, and for what I use it for, I'm very happy with my choice. The 4.0L engine hasn't let me down yet, and no one can argue with the price. I know that there are more modern choices out there, but pick-ups are for working, not for Sunday driving. I see lots of people out there with these $35,000 dollar trucks, but ask … them to move some lumber or furniture, and all they are worried about scratching the bed or the liner! I would recomend this truck to anyone who is a weekend warrior, young, or a small business owner (like myself). You can't argue with the reliability.

2004 Mazda B-Series Truck 2dr Regular Cab B2300 Rwd SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
The only options I purchased were automatic transmission and air. Everything else was standard right down to the rubber floor mats. This truck suits me perfectly. Reliable, good gas mileage and good looks for a work truck.
Nice, compact, durable,good warrantee.

2005 Mazda B-Series Truck 4dr Extended Cab B4000 SE 4WD SB (4.0L 6cyl 5A)
I bought this truck after selling my 02
Land Rover Discovery. A lot more
reliable then Land Rover and a lot more
utility being a pick-up. This truck
handles better then my S-10 ZR2, Ford
F-150, and Toyota Tundra.I needed a
truck that would fit in the garage of
my new house. Old house actually which
is why garage is small.Mazda has 4/50
warrentee.Ranger 3/36.It has nicer …
looking trim as well. The truck is
reliable, has a good size bed, and is
FAST with the top 4.0 6 engine and 5
sp.Auto.Could be better on gas though,
15-17mpg is no bargain for a small
truck. Main attraction for me was I
didnt want another big, hard to park,
harder to handle beast. Overall nice
vehicle.
