Yeah, the courier was ford's first mazda built truck. And the ranger is the same in that regard.

Well...sorta. Mazda build the Courier for Ford, but Ford builds the B-series for Mazda now. (They were completely separate model lines for a while in between, too.)

And they stuff the Mazda 4cyl in the rangers...

Courier was mazda (fords share in mazda). Luv was Isuzu (GM share in Isuzu). And D50 was mitsubishi (chryslers former share in mitsubishi, remember 80s platoform sharing.

Yeah. Don't know how they came up with that name though.

 

[john112deere]

2000 cc (or 2.0 L) engine. I'm thinking there may have been a B2200 or B2300 back then, too, but I'm not sure

Mazda B-series are still named that way...B2300 is a 2.3L 4-cy, B3000 is a 3.0L V6 and B4000 is the 4.0

Dude you're totally right. I just did a google image search for b2000 and grabbed one of the links, lol.

What happened to the picture in the first post?

 

[tylstruck]

Sorry, mate, I deleted that pic long ago. Two yrs ago. Found it. Here it is;

Ugly, is it? I'm glad to know the truck has been crushed long ago, unless tucked away in a collector's garage.

I'd collect it. Thanks for resurrecting the pic!
