2004 Mazda B-Series Truck Review
Price Estimate: $1,028 - $1,606

Edmunds' Expert Review
by the Edmunds Experts
Pros
- Torquey 4.0-liter V6 engine, versatile size, tough underpinnings.
Cons
- Dated platform, no crew cab model, limited lineup doesn't match many consumers' needs, uncomfortable seats.
What’s new
The interior gets a slight refresh in the form of a new steering wheel and airbag design, new cloth upholstery and a redesigned center stack.
Edmunds says
Unless the Mazda name holds a special place in your heart, there's no reason to consider this ancient compact pickup when there are several equally capable and infinitely more modern competitors available for the same price.

Your basic truck

2004 Mazda B-Series Truck 2dr Regular Cab B2300 Rwd SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
The only options I purchased were automatic transmission and air. Everything else was standard right down to the rubber floor mats. This truck suits me perfectly. Reliable, good gas mileage and good looks for a work truck.
Reliable but thirsty

2004 Mazda B-Series Truck 4dr Cab Plus 4 B4000 Dual Sport Rwd SB (4.0L 6cyl 5M)
I bought the 4.0 litre V6 with auto transmission because it could tow 6500 lbs, 3000 lbs more than the 5 speed manual. I tow a 3500 lb RV, sometimes with a 15 ft boat in tandem. This puts me at maximum combined payload & towing capacity but the truck is up to the task, if I take it easy: about 60 mph on the flats, up to 75 mph downhill. Towing in a headwind, the tranny constantly … downshifts but turning the overdrive off helps keep it in 5th gear. A manual tranny would have been better, or more power. Mileage is not the best: about 19 mpg highway, much less in the city. I drive like an old guy, easy on the gas, coasting not braking, and at the speed limit. The truck is great otherwise.
A Winner

2004 Mazda B-Series Truck 2dr Regular Cab B2300 Rwd SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
This truck is affordable, reliable, and a blast to drive. The performance is great and this little truck is powerful for its class. Exterior and interior design is fantastic and stylish. I can't say enough good things about this truck!
Plain truck for real men

2004 Mazda B-Series Truck 2dr Regular Cab B2300 Rwd SB (2.3L 4cyl 5M)
Needed a work truck. Got it and more.
5-speed, AMFM, cruise, split rear
window, rear bumper, bed liner in a
simple truck. Bench seat is a real
winnder. Rides and handles like a
truck.. do we have a problem here?
Reliable, long warranty. Choose over
its twin, the Ford Ranger for a better
price and longer warranty.
