Mazda B-Series Truck Reliability And Durability: Pros
YearBody/PowertrainComment
2002 2dr Extended Cab 6ft bed 147-horsepower 3.0L V6
5-speed automatic RWD
My 2002 B3000 Dual Sport recently rolled over 184,000 miles, and it has been flawless so far. I have replaced a thermostat. The radiator has a leak somewhere on the side, so it won't hold more than a 1/2 fill, if you judge by looking down the throat of the radiator filling cap. So far so good! My 1997 Chevy S-10 had 193,000 miles before I sold it, and I had replaced lots of things: two AC compressors, alternator, water pump, starter, and batteries. This truck, my B3000, has been very good to me. My S-10's MPG was around 25 though, so the B3000's 3.0L V6 is costing me a bit more there. Lord willing, the truck will keep driving. I originally got the truck at 77,000 miles, in case you're curious. Replaced: spark plugs battery fluids (oil when appropriate, brake fluid, rear diff, radiator, etc.) brake pads air filter full 2002 Mazda B-Series Truck review
