The National Highway Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA) provides 3
different ratings -
full-width frontal crash test
,
side impact crash test
, and
rollover resistance
. The frontal crash test indicates how
well the safety features and restraints
will protect an occupant in a head-on
collision. The side-impact test conveys
the chance of a severe chest injury,
while the rollover resistance rating
estimates the risk of rolling over in a
single vehicle crash.

Summary:
|
The sports truck of sports trucks.
By Dean Stevens, NewCarTestDrive.com
Mazda is going after the motocross, snowboarding, extreme sports crowd with the edgy Troy Lee editions. The rest of the B-series line should appeal to the less radical but sporty crowd. All the Mazda trucks look good and have a solid pedigree.The B-Series trucks are fun to drive, and comfortable enough to sooth aching bones at the end of an extreme day. In short, we found that the Mazda B3000 Troy Lee tasted great and was less filling than the regular trucks. |
|
Overview:
|
It's sort of like those "Tastes great" versus "Less filling" beer commercials that have been running for years: If you're partial to a sporty look you probably prefer the Mazda B-Series trucks over their cousins the Ford Rangers. Beyond trim and other treatments that give the Mazda pickup line its own distinctive identity, they are two trucks in a pod, so to speak. Both are solidly built ("Ford tough", in this case, equals "Mazda tough"), dependable, and fun to drive. There is now another distinction between Ford-labeled Rangers and some of the Mazda B3000 and B4000 models. Where Ford has (or had) Eddie Bauer, Mazda has enlisted the services of noted graphic designer Troy Lee. Well known for his designer line of racing helmets, Lee specializes in extreme sports apparel and equipment. Mazda introduced the Troy Lee Edition B-Series truck as a production model in 1998. With its flashy looks, graphite-looking trim, any extreme-sports enthusiast would feel right at home in a Troy Lee-branded B-truck.
