Man love these little trucks. Picked up one from a neighbor that wanted it out of their yard because they had too many cars and didn’t need it. Sat since 2009. Has service records of everything that’s been done to it since it was new and has paper work of all maintenance done. Has about 140,000 miles on it now. Got it for $200 😂

[@AlvlUpSavedMyLife]

$1300?!?!? Wtf

[@gilbertpro6750]

I recently bought one like this one! It is a B3000 4X4. I had the same good luck. These are great little trucks as “grocery getters” congrats!

[@desertgarden3743]

Clean buy! Just copped one off Craigslist for $1000 bucks 1997, listed for 2500 but after talking to him and discussing the little fixes I had to do we agreed at 1000 cash. Super clean truck

[@SwanCanFixIt]

Nice! Thats a great deal for one. Best bang for your buck when it comes to having a good reliable vehicle with some utility

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

Nice! I share your opinion that it is perfect for what you speak on. Imo, I actually look the look of the these Mazda's over the Ford. Basic is good! Wish I could find one like this. Take care😎✌️

[@SwanCanFixIt]

Yeah I agree, I like the blacked out front look of the Mazda over the Ranger for this year. Plus for the 94-97 Mazda they are a little more boxed off in the front, which I think looks pretty good. Thanks for watching! 😁

[@ChrisfromGeorgia]

@@SwanCanFixIt Right on! My thoughts exactly. I hope you get plenty more miles out her!

[@sgtmorhew]

Awesome video. Very direct and informative. I'm looking at a 96 b2300 5 speed soon. 2500 seems fair and it looks to be in decent shape.

[@SwanCanFixIt]

Yeah that’s not a bad deal at all given the used car market we’re currently in. The 2.3 I4 paired up with the 5 speed is very reliable in these trucks

[@robertt9342]

Wheel and tire upgrade is a huge improvement.

[@bobbyjohnson504]

Could u guess the tire size

How much does it take to get a full tank?

[@SwanCanFixIt]

It has a 17 gallon tank, so with gas prices around my area being $3.60+, it’s about $60 to fill the tank from empty. With city and hwy driving I average around 21 mpgs, so a full tank should get you roughly 300+ miles

[@bobbyjohnson504]

What size tires, I have a 1996 and going to put those on mine

[@torreypires6192]

does ot have 31 inch tires. perfect lil truck i want one

[@macframa08]

I have one and it runs like a champ I got it for 2600 with 104xxx miles on it it was a steal but no ac 😩.It’s all good it’s my 2nd car only to use to haul furniture or any little things I need. Good video 👍

[@SwanCanFixIt]

That’s a great deal. Mine is also used as a second vehicle for the same purpose. These trucks cost 1/3 of what Toyotas go for these days and with proper maintenance will easily last just as long imo

[@matthewbuirley9434]

Nice truck I currently on two of them I 94 and a 97 and I’m working on my third maybe by the end of this week great little trucks

[@SwanCanFixIt]

Yeah these are solid little trucks. Reliable engines and the 5 speed transmission is solid. Great for hauling light loads around and having some utility for not a lot of money. Hope you’re able to snag a great deal on another one

[@Ax4400]

I have a 2000 Mazda B2500 2.5L w/67,000 miles I want to Customize

[@SwanCanFixIt]

Nice! Just keep up on the maintenance for it and it should last you a long long time. I honestly believe this truck will last me well past 300,000 miles cause of that

[@path2049]

May I ask what the spec for the tires is?

[@ryanadams5116]

What size tires did you put on?

[@SwanCanFixIt]

245/75/R16 is the spec of those tires I threw on, so 30.5”. I’m thinking that’s the biggest it can go without any tire rub

[@ryanadams5116]

@@SwanCanFixIt Thanks, the truck looks great!
