lol I can't tell them apart except for the chrome badge that says B2000 instead of Ranger. I always wondered who made these and now I know it's Mazda. Thank you jljde!

Same truck, different badges. Much like the Mazda2 and Fiesta. Or the Nissan Pathfinder/Suzuki Equator

THE B2000 was its own mazda built truck. nothing to do with the ranger.

the B2300, B2500, B3000 and the B4000 were built off the ranger platform.

they have differant front clips and bed sides.

the ranger platform B-series was not introduced until 1994.

yep x2

B2000 was the smaller motor pos with a really crappy carb ( had three of them) the B2200 and B2200i were usually 4x4 trucks with a slightly bigger motor and fuel injection. Def just a Mazda back then.....

First Mazda built trucks for Ford, then Ford built them for Mazda.
