Junkyard Adventures! 1991 Mazda B2200. Better than the Ranger that replaced it.

Great compact trucks! This and the Mitsubishi MightyMax are on my bucket list to own. My buddy had one and it was a durable reliable truck for sure.

That was a nice truck with the 2.2. I rented a 1991 Mazda with the shortbed and that engine in early that year. It was a nice driving truck that felt good through the gears and was reasonably comfortable to cruise around in. I remember that shifter and dash layout well :)

Agreed. They were almost car like to drive, and the small engine still managed some pep.

I had a 1987 Ford Ranger 4x4 that I bought new. Never had a bit of trouble with it. They were great trucks!

I ad a ranger that I loved, until some dumb distracted driver totaled it and 3 other cars at once.

I have a 78 courier, 83 and was roll over and I rebuild it and then I bought an 88 B2200 brand new! I loved all my Mazda's and was super sad when they became rebadged rangers!!! My 83 regularly got almost 30 mpg.

They were great trucks, super reliable for sure

My uncle had a Mazda pickup I believe it was a late 90s it had a 4 cylinder with 8 spark plugs when he sold it it had almost 200k on it he drove a long way to work he only replaced the clutch 1 time and he had to replace the braking system in it

[@FarpointRestorationsAndRepairs]

i had one about that age, I finally had to sell it as it was too slow for the mountains here. It did not have the power to get up the hills
