2005Explorer Posted December 11, 2005 Share Posted December 11, 2005 I was just looking around the web for awhile today and I noticed something. Mazda sells very few B-series trucks, but don't you think they would sell a lot more??? I mean if you want a Ranger you can go down to your Mazda dealer and get the same thing, with slightly different styling for about the same price and you will get a 4 year 50,000 mile bumper to bumper warranty over the Ranger's 3 year 36,000 mile warranty. My Dad got a Ranger this summer and he did get a good buy with the Family Plan, but why don't more people buy the Mazda? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

sullynd Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 Its a Ford.They want american truck buyers.Plus i think it looks better. I think the Ranger looks better too, it's also the dealer network... The Tribute has a better warranty but is outsold by the Mariner, and handily outsold by the Escape... Funny thing was when I was in hawaii Mazdas were EVERYWHERE... I saw more B series in two weeks than I had my entire life before... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bec5150 Posted December 12, 2005 Share Posted December 12, 2005 I bought my Ford because the "supersized" dealer round these parts was having a "fire sale" on the doggon things. Mine stickered for around 13,500 dollars but I gave $8450 plus tax for a final price of way under $9300 bucks. That was in 2002. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PolarBear Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 Because, for truck buyers, that Blue Oval still means a lot. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
stegomon Posted December 17, 2005 Share Posted December 17, 2005 well since they are the same thing....but if some one did it right...they could get a mazda b-4000 and just slap in some ranger headlights and still have the 4 year coverage Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
euro_zx5 Posted January 22, 2006 Share Posted January 22, 2006 well since they are the same thing....but if some one did it right...they could get a mazda b-4000 and just slap in some ranger headlights and still have the 4 year coverage But then you'd have to endure looking at that below-average steering wheel :lol:... the Ranger has so many aspects that make it better imo. But regardless... it is in every mechanical way, the same. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

stangster Posted March 29, 2006 Share Posted March 29, 2006 For me it is a matter of sticking with what I know. My 97 Ranger has 122k miles on it and is going strong. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
