How big is a Mazda B4000 pickup truck?
Design-wise, Mazda usually does one of two things: nail it (Miata, Mazda3) or overcook it (RX-8, Speed6). The designers of the B-Series truck didn’t even try. It’s a pastiche of truck clichés that shouts “cheap!” like a 3,915 pound canary.
When did the Mazda B4000 Ridgeline come out?
62 Comments on “Mazda B4000 Review…” Yep, this thing is a heaping pile of 1994 (when I had a Ranger STX, almost Exactly the same vehicle). Jonny, if you seriously believe the the ridgeline has “reignited” or even “just about reinvented” the light truck market, you sir are living in a parallel universe.

The thing is, since it is basically a Ford Ranger, and built on pretty much the same chassis as the Explorer for close to 20 years, there is an endless supply of spare parts in the local junk yards.
Are there 3 spoke wheels on Mazda B4000?
Three-spoke wheels have never and will never look good on any vehicle. On the B4000 they look fat, too. DCX may have copied the B4000’s chunky wheel arches for their new S-Class, but at least they had the good sense to round them out. A squared off half-circle says “accident survivor” to me.
What kind of engine does a Mazda B4000 have?
The Mazda B4000 was powered by a 4.0-liter V6. The 1994 Mazda B-Series pickup truck lineup also featured a 2.3-liter four-cylinder engine and a 3.0-liter V6. A five-speed manual was the base transmission option for the B-Series truck in 2004.
How old is the Mazda B4000 extended cab?
This is now 2016, and I have 2000 B4000 extended cab that was built in 1999. So it is basically 17 years old, with 130,000 miles. Pretty much the only expenses have been gas, oil, tires, and normal wear and tear on brakes. Oh, and ball joints at 100,000 miles.
