These Are The Midsize Trucks You Probably Forgot
The Mazda B-Series is not a forgotten truck in the sense of some of these others. The earlier B-Series models were your standard Japanese fare, but these Mazda pickups were eventually sold as rebadged Rangers for a couple of generations, back when the Ford Ranger was more of a compact truck than a midsizer.
The earlier B-Series reportedly drove like a car and earned favorable reviews for its road manners. More importantly, it looked cool even as an extended cab, which is no easy feat. As readers noted, the extended cab Rangers and B-Series trucks were awesome, with jump seats that were both cute and practical.
