1990 Mazda B2200

The Mazda B series is a series of pickup trucks that was manufactured by Mazda. Produced across five generations from 1961 to 2006, the model line began life primarily as a commercial vehicle, slotted above a kei truck in size. Through its production, Mazda used engine displacement to determine model designations; a B1500 was fitted with a 1.5 L engine and a B2600, a 2.6 L engine. In Japan, the B-series was referred to as the Mazda Proceed for much of its production, with several other names adopted by the model line. In Australia and New Zealand, the B-Series was named the Mazda Bravo and Mazda Bounty, respectively; South Africa used the Mazda Drifter name. Thailand used the Mazda Magnum, Thunder, and Fighter names. Through its association with Ford, Mazda produced the B-Series as the Ford Courier and the Ford Ranger. Conversely, the Ford Ranger was sold in North America as a Mazda B series from 1994 until 2010. A new Proceed/B series (UF) was introduced in January 1985; it was produced until June 1999.[20] A five-speed manual transmission was the primary choice in most markets, with options of a four-speed automatic transmission option and part-time four wheel drive. The 2.6-liter, Mitsubishi-powered B2600 was added in 1986. 1987 saw the Mazda inline-four engine upgraded to 2.2-liters in the B2200; the smaller engine was phased out of the North American markets after that year. In 1988, the Mitsubishi engine was replaced with a new family of Mazda powerplants. This generation also returned to the Japanese market as the "Proceed" in 1990, where it was marketed mostly as a "lifestyle" truck and only in a single layout (4WD, gasoline-engined Cab Plus).[citation needed] From 1991, an SUV/RV version of this generation was manufactured and sold as the Proceed Marvie; this was sold as the Ford Raider in Australia. The Proceed Marvie had a UV chassis code. It had three rows of seats, with the rearmost accessible by walking past the second row on the left.[30] A similar version of the vehicle was developed in Thailand, where it was sold as a version of the Mazda B series. In 1988, the larger Mitsubishi carbureted engine was replaced with Mazda's more powerful, 2.6-liter, four-cylinder, fuel-injected engine. The new model was named B2600i—"i" for injection. Both Mazda B series and the Ford Courier versions were assembled from CKD kits in New Zealand.[25] The New Zealand lineup started with the 2.2 diesel with 47 kW (64 PS), with the petrol 2.2 offering 77 kW (105 PS) and the fuel injected 2.6 92 kW (125 PS).[25] Engine options: B2000 1985–1987 – 2.0 L (1998 cc) FE I4, 80 hp (60 kW) (North America) - 90 PS (66 kW) (Europe) B2200 1987–1993 – 2.2 L (2184 cc) F2 I4, 85 hp (63 kW), 118 lb⋅ft (160 N⋅m) (Carb, North America) 1992–1993 – 2.2 L (2184 cc) F2 I4, 91 hp (68 kW), 118 lb⋅ft (160 N⋅m) (EFI, California spec) 1985–199? – 2.2 L (2184 cc) R2 diesel I4, 64 PS (47 kW), 105 lb⋅ft (142 N⋅m) B2500 (Thailand) 1999–199? – 2.5 L (2499 cc) 4JA1 I4, 90 hp (67 kW), 128 lb⋅ft (174 N⋅m) 199?–2002 – 2.5 L (2499 cc) WL I4, 94 hp (70 kW), 126 lb⋅ft (171 N⋅m) B2600 1986–1988 – 2.6 L (2555 cc) G54B I4, 102 hp (76 kW), 146 lb⋅ft (198 N⋅m) B2600i 1989–1993 – 2.6 L (2606 cc) G6 I4, 121 hp (90 kW), 149 lb⋅ft (202 N⋅m) (North America) 92 kW (125 PS) at 4600 rpm in Australia North America Upon its North American debut in 1985 for the 1986 model year, the B2000 was praised by automotive critics for its comfortable ride, smooth handling, and general car-like feel despite its ability to perform tasks required of a truck. In addition to the standard cab which was available with a short bed or long bed, Mazda offered an extended cab version with jump seats called the Cab Plus.[31] For three consecutive years (1986, 1987, 1988), Mazda trucks were rated number one in overall customer satisfaction by J.D. Power and Associates.[32] Models For the 1986 model year, the only available models were the B2000 (only available in 4x2) and the B2600 4x4. The latter model was powered with a 2.6-liter Mitsubishi-sourced carbureted motor. The B2200 was introduced as a replacement for the B2000 in 1987, and the B2000 was discontinued after the 1987 model year. For the 1989 model year, the B2600 was given a Mazda G6 fuel-injected engine and was renamed the B2600i. At this point, the B2600i became available either in 4x4 or 4x2, alongside the B2200 which remained only available as a 4x2. All B2600i models were equipped with a different hood with a distinct center bulge to accommodate the larger motor. The B2600 4x4 and subsequent B2600i 4x4 models had their own styling distinctions such as fender flares, a wider front bumper, and mud guards. I
