1987 Mazda B2000 Cab Plus review from North America
"Incredibly reliable if well maintained"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
The gas tank is replaced on 171,000 miles.
The body sheet metal is so thin.
Suspension is so weak to handle weights.
Aerodynamics is badly designed.
General comments?
The engine is pretty strong for a 2.0 liter.
I need to replace the timing belt and water pump soon.
It is so rare to see a truck on 178,000 miles and has so few problems comparing to the other brands.
I would buy another Mazda truck without hesitation, since I see this truck running over 178,000 miles with 22 miles per gallon.
