The compact-class trucks from Mazda return for another year with three cab configurations and best-in-class powertrain performance. The two-door Regular Cab works for all B2300 and several B3000 issues, with a four-door extended CabPlus for B3000, and CabPlus4 for some B3000 and all B4000 models with twin rear-hinged back doors.

Top truck B4000 -- with 4WD and push-button shifting into four-wheeling mode -- also has a husky six-pack that ripples with 207-hp. This optional engine caps Mazda's B-Series truck line and bumps its trailer-towing ability to 5900 pounds. Two other powertrains are offered -- B2300 with a 2.3-liter 4-cylinder engine worth 140-hp and B3000 with a 3.0-liter V6 at 150-hp. Special edition Dual Sport carries the raised suspension of a 4WD truck but retains the rear-wheel-drive (RWD) orientation.

It also has plush gear like a leather-wrapped steering wheel and cruise control, power to run windows and doors and mirrors, and a bed liner in back.
