1986 Mazda B2000 review from North America
"Built to last with minimal maintenance"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
At 135,000 I replaced the Alternator, and at 195,000 I replaced the timing belt. I have had only 3 sets of tires on the vehicle the whole time I have owned it.
120,000 I replaced the ERG Valve.
General comments?
I bought this truck brand new for 5795.00 and I got every penny out of it. I took it on several long trips and never experienced any problems with it. I have over exceeded its weight capacity on several occasions, and it always came through. I have driven over 200,000 miles on the original clutch. My Mazda was built in Japan, and all the stickers under the hood are in Japanese. My only regret is that I wish I had enough money back in 1986 to buy two and put one away, I love this truck.
