I’m biased here since I own one, but the Mazda-built B-series is terminally underrated and would sell like hotcakes in today’s market. I can’t tell you how great it is to not have to climb into the bed to load large items (even the current small trucks on the market are pretty tall). It’s shorter than most modern truck hoods but just as capable. I’ve probably hauled more stuff for the house/my woodworking hobby this year than most modern trucks will see in their entire lives. I have a driveway with fun toys like a Wrangler and a 911 Turbo and find myself choosing the B to run errands or just hop around town. Slick shifter, super simple steering with tons of feel, and despite approaching 250k miles it just starts. every. time.
