On a side note; this won't turn into the eco vs 5.0 ****.

MPG isnt all its hyped to be so that sucks but hey reliability is pretty good.

You don't know your *** from a hole in the ground, that truck is a rebadged Ford Ranger. Every single part is interchangeable right down to the wiring harness.

You do realize Ford owns Mazda and has for many years.

Jumping to conclusions?
What's your problem man? I know that a Mazda B2300 is a rebadged Ford Ranger. Calm down.

I was suggesting another option since op wants something that won't "be in the shop" and he suggested getting a Toyota.

Do you want me to change it to "Get a Ford Ranger with a 2.3L" ?

I hate all of you getting 20mpg+ with the 5.0. Lol. I was getting 19.5 for a couple hundred highway miles with non-ethanol 87. That was nice. Haha.

Calm down what? I'm perfectly calm, your the one jumping to conclusions, and I wouldn't kick a dead mule in the *** for a 2.3, the 3.0 v6 option would be much better only problem is neither one of them get as good fuel economy as my 5.0.
