What kind of horsepower does a Mazda B4000 have?
For those of you with points on your license, getting Mazda’s truck to crest 80mph on anything other than an Olympic ski jump is very, very difficult. The 4.0-liter 12-valve V6 powerplant kicks out 207hp @ 5,250rpm and stumps up 238lbs. feet of torque @ 3,000rpm– well behind the power Toyota’s same-sized mill produces in the much newer Tacoma.
Is the Mazda B4000 a good light truck?
But no, at a time when Honda’s Ridgeline has (almost) reignited and (just about) re-invented the light-truck market, FoMoCo is content to let another market segment fall entirely into the hands of Honda, Toyota and Nissan. While the B4000 has its supporters, it will eventually be remembered as a forgettable experience.
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.
Which is better a Honda Ridgeline or a Mazda B4000?
The scalloped vents along the top of the dash are… bizarre. On the positive side, the B4000’s column-shifter frees-up the center console for more storage-nooks and holding-crannies than the Honda Ridgeline. The B4000 is the best handling small truck on the road– if you transport yourself back to its 1994 debut.

Is the Mazda B4000 really a Ford Explorer?
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 transmission does a Mazda B series have?
The available automatic transmission in the 2006 Mazda B-Series is a sophisticated and smooth-shifting five-speed. Standard transmission is a five-speed manual, which like all Mazdas, is designed for quick shifting to get the very best from the engine.

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.
