  Eastern NC - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Randall Tyndall - December 15 - 2:00 am

  Looks great, lot of compliments, most controls within easy reach. Cannot see under visor when in down position. Recommend extended cab for taller drivers. Difficult for entry/exit for shorter operators. Great mileage for truck - 23 - 25 average.

  Hereditary transmission problems - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Cookieman - August 26 - 2:00 am

  The vehicle was a delight to take in the rough, even though it was two-wheel drive, I could take it anywhere. It had a good ground clearance, and low rev torque. Its downside is its transmission. The Ranger series has always had problems with the transmission and when I bought this Mazda I thought they had cleared that problem. Not so. After 7K miles, it began to have trouble shifting in and out of second. It got to the point that I had to skip the gear. After the replacement if immediately took care of second but fourth was now the troublemaker.

  wont buy another - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By mazda - August 21 - 10:00 am

  great vehicle if it wasnt in the shop all the time. Entire clutch system replaced, transmission and computer problems. This truck is great when it runs, inside and out. Has plenty of power, gas mileage is terrible (14 city). This is my fourth since 1994 and I will not buy another. Two were good and two were bad. 50% is not very good

  Good Truck without Personality - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Bill - July 4 - 9:16 pm

  I purchased this truck new, trading in a 2000 GMC Sierra. I got a lot of truck for the money. The truck has been reliable except for odometer failure (warranty) and EGR flow sensor. The 4.0L engine and 5-speed auto transmission are a fine drivetrain. The main problem is that this truck just has no personality to distinguish it from the crowd. The tin-can sound of the doors closing doesnt help. I recently installed a Magnaflow catback exhaust which has given the truck a distinctive sound.

  good truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By johnboy - May 30 - 10:00 am

  I bought this used with little mileage on it. Got a great deal. So far, so good. It runs smooth and the mpg is acceptable. AC is great. I live where it gets very hot, so that is important. For the price, its great.

  Not Happy - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By MJF - January 14 - 2:00 am

  I am not happy with this truck. A week after I bought it, it had to be returned to get 4 new tires. It runs really rough, at a stop it vibrates the cab. I have brought it back to the dealer and they didnt feel anything was wrong. I will probably trade in soon.

  GoodLittle Truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By bushdow - December 18 - 10:13 pm

  I purchased this truck September 2002. The gas mileage could be a little better (17 mpg) The truck is high for better road view. The engine could use a little more HP for merging traffic situations.

  Is it the truck or the N. E. weather? - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By Pleiadian7 - November 19 - 10:00 am

  Mazda/Fords truck design is OBSOLETE. I bought this 2002 because Id had 2 Mazdas previously and they were pretty decent. THIS one had a clutch master cyl. go bad as soon as I got it. Access to the rear cab space is poor. The engine is so detuned as to be ball- less. However, the worst problem is the severe undercarriage corrosion which has destroyed the brakes/brake lines and has caused me to need to buy a new truck. New England winters and road chemicals are tough but I think the degree of damage is still pretty serious. No more Mazdas for me. I bought a Nissan.

  2002 Mazda B3000 4X4 - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By rideayeti - April 27 - 10:00 am

  Excellent truck! A little underpowered with the 3.0 liter engine, but the tradeoff is a consistent 22-23 mpg. Great styling, well built, economical vehicle.

  My little red Truck - 2002 Mazda Truck
  By dearlaurie - January 3 - 10:00 am

  This has been a great truck for me. I am a single mom, and own a small farm, so I need the convenience along with the great style and comfort.
