Mazda B-Series
The Mazda B Series, like its cousin, the Ford Ranger, is the most affordable truck available. It is possible to purchase the basic version for only 15,695 dollars. Its size is interesting, fuel-consumption reasonable, and cargo capacity surprising. Despite having been developed in the 80s, it wouldn’t take much to make this pick-up truck a viable contender in the category. People buy it because it is practical, economical and reliable.
