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.
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.
How did you get your truck to get 22 mpg? I only get 15 please give me some suggestions to get it up to 22Mpg My E-mail is vector123456@yahoo.com.

I'll agree that the 87 Mazda b2000 is one tough truck. I lucked up on a deal that I could not refuse and got it real cheap. I have replaced the slave cylinder, new brakes all around. Still need shocks, and the a/c compressor is gone. What I really like about this little truck is the gas mileage. I get 32-34 mpg. All of this on a truck with 235,000 miles, and doesn't use any oil. Definitely a Keeper.
