1987 Mazda B2600 SE5 review from North America
"This is a great little truck!"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Cylinder head cracked at 100,000 miles.
Transmission broke at 180,000 miles.
General comments?
The Mazda B2600 4x4 was one of my favorite vehicles. I used this truck for everything thing from date nights to wood hauling and off roading. It would go anywhere. It pulled several full size 4x4s out of mud bogs and snowy banks.
I had only 2 major break downs and both were at 100,000+ miles. I have no complaints.
The electrical system was ultra reliable. I had to replace one head light and that was it! All the other bulbs and electrical items were stock when I sold the truck at 180,000 miles.
Many times I towed trailers with more than double the rated towing capacity.
I would love to find another one with very low miles to have as my occasional driver when I need to haul something.
