The arrangement flipped: Mazda spent the '70s building Ford's Courier pickup, then from 1994 it was Ford building Mazda's B-Series, off the same Minnesota line as the Ranger.
Mazda dodged the 25% 'chicken tax' on light trucks by simply building this generation in Minnesota instead of Japan — a move other Japanese automakers soon copied.
This generation of Mazda trucks was rated the most satisfying in America three years running — J.D. Power and Associates put it at No. 1 overall in 1986, 1987 and 1988.
Mazda's long-bed B2000 pickup picked up an unofficial name in some markets: "Sundowner," borrowed from Australian drovers who made camp wherever they happened to be when the sun went down.
Mazda didn't just stuff a rotary into a pickup for fun — the REPU stands alone in automotive history as the world's first and only Wankel-engined pickup truck.
Hiding inside this B-Series generation's final years was the REPU — the only rotary-engined pickup truck ever sold, built just for the North American market from 1974 to 1977.
Mazda's first-ever B-series pickup, the 1961 B1500, was sleeker and more powerful than any rival truck in Japan — and pricier too, so it never sold in the numbers Mazda hoped for.
