1988 Mazda B2600 4x4 review from North America
"A good off road vehicle"
What things have gone wrong with the car?
Valve troubles especially the jet valves.
The vehicle tends to rust badly, especially underneath.
The tail lights failed due to corroded wiring.
The fuel pump quit (the dealer could not tell me if the pump was in the tank or on the block!- it was in the tank).
General comments?
The engine is the weak point as it is generally unreliable and under powered.
The four wheel drive system is awesome and will take you almost anywhere. It pulls and tows good for a small truck.
