Summary
Mazda's truck benefits from Ford's engineering, but adds its own style. Its 207-horsepower V6 engine propels it to the top of the import class. Dual Sport trim emulates the tough look a racer's pre-runner, while a trick new Off-Road package makes the Mazda more desirable for off-roading in 2002.
