just another large bloated truck
Sorry Mazda, I’d rather have a B -Series pickup. We don’t need more “pickups for posers” who are only interested in looking good sitting in the driveway. The B-Series pickups were cheap, reliable, functional trucks. Not everyone wants a big four door pickup, especially one that looks like every other big four door pickup on the road. The auto industry has ruined the pickup truck industry as we knew it.
Here, here. My 85 B2000 has 250,000 miles. Renewing it with parts from a similar truck is not worth it because a parts truck costs just about as much as one that is still functional which there are many and few for sale.
my 2005 b4000 4 wheel drive had 215,000k miles best little truck on the road. Economic stress forced a sale. The only upgrades needed were interior power windows more durable seats, and upgrade dash electronics..don’t get fancy stay practical..you’ve already got the best little truck on the road.
