2009 Mazda B-Series Pickup Truck

Summary

Provided by NADAguides.com

Basically unchanged for 2009, the Mazda B-Series pickup truck offers regular cab and extended cab trim levels, with either two-wheel or four-wheel drive. Since the 3.0L engine has been dropped, engine choices are a 2.3L four-cylinder engine producing 143 hp and154 lb-ft of torque or a 4.0L V6 with 207 hp and 238 lb-ft of torque, while transmission choices consist of a five-speed manual or five-speed automatic. Getting good fuel economy for its class, the B-Series regular cab with a manual transmission delivers 21 mpg city/26 mpg hwy and 19/24 mpg with automatic, while the extended cab gets 15/19 mpg with manual transmission and 14/18 mpg with automatic. Standard safety features include dual front air bags, front seat-belt pre-tensioners and a tire-pressure monitoring system. As for hauling, the B-Series can tow up to 5600 pounds with the standard Class III frame-mounted trailer receiver hitch. As Mazda B-Series specifications attest, this is a hard-working pickup truck that packs a lot in a compact size.

Benefits of Driving a 2009 Mazda B-Series Pickup Truck

A true pickup based on the Ford Ranger, the 2009 Mazda is a solid performer that is easy to maneuver, thanks to the truck's small size. Mazda's proven B-Series pickups hold their own against trucks from Chevrolet, Toyota, Nissan and Ford. The B2300 and B4000 are reliable, rugged trucks that don't pretend to be anything else, all of which means that they can haul cargo and tow loads whenever needed. Pricing for the basic B2300 starts, very affordably, around $16,000. Mileage varies greatly, from an average combined rating of 22 mpg for the B2300 and 17 mpg for the larger B4000. The 4.0L B4000 impresses with a 5,600 pound towing capacity.

What's new for 2009?

The crew cab style, with its full-sized front-hinged rear doors, is no longer offered and, most notably, the mid-level B3000 series has been discontinued, leaving just the B2300 and the B4000. Other than that, the 2009 Mazda B-Series trucks are little changed from the 2008 model year. The SE is now an options package and not a separate trim as it was last year.

Model Strengths

A great basic truck
solid and agile
a no-frills workhorse when it comes to getting the job done

Model Review

Only two B-Series styles are available for 2009. The Regular Cab B2300 has a 2.3L 4-cylinder engine that produces 143 horsepower and 154 pound-feet of torque. The Extended Cab B4000 features a 4.0L V6 engine that produces 207 horsepower and 238 pound-feet of torque. A 5-speed manual transmission is standard on both models, with a 5-speed automatic being optional. The B2300 is available in rear-wheel drive form only and the B4000, an extended cab with rear-hinged smaller rear doors, is available only in 4-wheel drive format.

Safety Ratings What do the Safety Ratings mean? The National Highway Traffic Safety Administration (NHTSA) performs independent crash testing of new vehicles and then assigns them a score based on their performance. The overall crash test rating is based on how a vehicle performs in the following tests: Driver Crash Grade: Measures the chance of a serious injury to a crash test dummy that is placed in a driver's seat and driven into a fixed barrier at 35 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less chance of injury. Passenger Crash Grade: Similar to the driver crash grade, only now the focus is on the passenger. Rollover Resistance: Simulates an emergency lane change to measure the likelihood of a vehicle rolling over. A five-star rating means there is 10 percent or less risk of rollover. Side Impact Crash Test - Front: Focuses on the front side of a vehicle. It simulates crashes that can occur in intersections by striking a 3,015-pound weight against the side of a vehicle at 38.5 MPH. A five-star rating means there is 5 percent or less chance of injury. Side Impact Crash Test - Rear: Similar to the front side impact test only now the focus is on the rear passenger.

Original Warranty Original Warranty An original warranty is the warranty associated with a vehicle when it is brand new. In addition to the original warranty, select items, like tires, are typically covered by respective manufacturers. Also, an act of Federal law sometimes provides protection for certain components, like emissions equipment. The original warranty is often broken down into multiple sections, including: Basic Warranty: Typically covers everything except for parts that wear out through normal use of the vehicle. Examples of non-covered items are brake pads, wiper blades and filters. Drivetrain Warranty: This warranty covers items the basic warranty does not protect. Wear and tear items such as hoses will not be covered, but key items like the engine, transmission, drive axles and driveshaft often will be. Roadside Assistance: The level of service differs greatly with this warranty, but many manufacturers offer a toll-free number that helps provide assistance in case you run out of gas, get a flat tire or lock your keys in the car. Corrosion Warranty: This warranty focuses on protecting you from holes caused by rust or corrosion in your vehicle's sheet metal. Please check the owner's manual, visit a local dealership or look at the manufacturer's website to learn more about the specifics of the warranties that apply to a vehicle.	Miles	Months
Basic	36,000	36
Drivetrain	60,000	60

Mazda Certified Pre-Owned Warranty Certified Pre-Owned Warranty To be eligible for Certified Pre-Owned (CPO) status, vehicles generally must be recent models with relatively low mileage. CPO vehicles must also pass a detailed inspection, outlined by the manufacturer, which is measured by the number of inspected points. Warranty coverage can vary from one manufacturer to the next. While most certified pre-owned programs transfer and extend the existing new car warranty terms, others offer a warranty that simply represents an additional year and mileage value. Always check with the manufacturer for the specific warranties they offer. Common features and benefits of Certified Pre-Owned warranties include: Age/Mileage Eligibility To even be considered for certification, a car must be a recent model year and have limited mileage. The exact requirements are established by individual manufacturers. Lease Term Certified Some manufacturers offer certified pre-owned cars for lease. The length of the lease is often shorter than a new car lease, but it will cost you less. Point Inspection These inspections entail a comprehensive vehicle test to ensure that all parts are in excellent working order. The point inspection list is simply a numbered list of exactly what parts of the car are examined. While many inspections range from a 70- to 150-point checklist, most are very similar and are performed using strict guidelines. Ask your local dealer about specific details. Return/Exchange Program Some manufacturers offer a very limited return or exchange period. Find out if you will get the sales tax and licensing/registration fees back should you return or exchange the car. Roadside Assistance Most certified pre-owned programs offer free roadside service in case your car breaks down while still under warranty. Special Financing Reduced-rate loans are available through many certified pre-owned programs. Manufacturer-backed inspections and warranties help eliminate the risks involved with buying pre-owned, so buyers who qualify can take advantage of the great offers. Transferable Warranty When a new car warranty transfers with the certification of the car and remains eligible for the next owner, it is known as a transferable warranty. Once the original transferable warranty expires, an extended warranty takes effect. Warranty Deductible This is the amount for which you are responsible when repair work is performed under the warranty. Some manufacturers require a deductible while others don't, so always ask.
