2006 Mazda B4000

(continued from above)

The B-Series can haul heavy loads (up to 5,600 pounds towing capacity), and with available four-wheel drive, handle the toughest terrain. But this stylish truck is just as happy strutting its stuff in the city or taking long-haul trips in its stride.

Available as a two-door Regular Cab or four-door, four-seat Cab Plus and with a choice of 2.3-liter four-cylinder, 3.0-liter V6 and 4.0-liter V6 engines and two or four-wheel drive systems, the B-Series is ready for anything.

The Mazda B-Series truck continues its value story into 2006 with a wide array of standard features and an extensive options list to allow customers to personalize their vehicles.

New colors and a standard equipment anti-theft system on some models mark the most significant changes to the B-Series for 2006. Volcanic Red and Redfire replace 2005's Performance and Sunburst Reds, and Dark Satin Green has been dropped. All 3.0-liter and 4.0-liter V6 B-Series trucks now come with Mazda's anti-theft system fitted at the factory a valuable addition to an already superb value truck.

"It's not a conventional truck by any stretch of the imagination," says Kevin Mori, vehicle line manager. "Built with a touch of Mazda's Zoom-Zoom standards, and offering impressive safety credentials in concert with stylish design and superb practicality, the B-Series makes other trucks feel like tractors."

B-Series Specifications

The available automatic transmission in the 2006 Mazda B-Series is a sophisticated and smooth-shifting five-speed. Standard transmission is a five-speed manual, which like all Mazdas, is designed for quick shifting to get the very best from the engine.
