The destination charge is a standard charge for transporting the vehicle from its point of origin to the dealer. The Mazda is considerably cheaper to get to the dealership than the Ford. The F-150 SuperCrew will tax your gasoline budget substantially more than the Mazda B2300 will. Producing an exact fuel economy evaluation is so difficult that some think not even the federal government can do it, but it looks as though the B2300 is the winner with respect to gas mileage. The Ford F-150 SuperCrew is tremendously pricier than the Mazda B2300 when it comes to MSRP. The Mazda B2300 will save you a lots_of_money at the pump every year compared to the F-150 SuperCrew. The Ford F-150 SuperCrew will cost you a bundle in gasoline every year compared to the Mazda B2300.

Utility
The F-150 SuperCrew will most definitely prove more convenient than the Mazda B2300 for those of you with frequent kid-cargo. The F-150 SuperCrew is likely a better choice than the B2300 with respect to transporting cargo, especially if you often need to carry a lot of luggage or massive pets. The Ford F-150 SuperCrew outpulls the B2300 by a big margin.

Convenience
You will quite certainly have to visit your friendly gas station more often with the Mazda B2300 than with the Ford F-150 SuperCrew.

Comfort
Taller drivers will significantly enjoy the extra head room in the Ford's front cabin compared to the Mazda.

Dimensions
The Ford F-150 SuperCrew is tremendously more bulky than the Mazda B2300. Your wallet will hurt more every time you fill up the Ford F-150 SuperCrew than the Mazda B2300 because of its larger tank. The Mazda B2300 fits in smaller parking spaces than the Ford F-150 SuperCrew. The Ford F-150 SuperCrew's longer wheelbase will result in a smoother, more stable ride; on the other hand, the Mazda B2300 may give a sprier feel in daily traffic.

Performance
When it comes to horsepower, the Ford F-150 SuperCrew packs quite a wallop and will knock the Mazda down a few rungs. However, remember that high horsepower engines often command higher insurance premiums. With that kind of horsepower, the Ford is a legitimate sports car.

Handling
With its tighter turning circle, the Mazda B2300 is quite certainly more agile than the Ford, something to consider if you do a lot of city driving; on the other hand, note that a vehicle with a tight turning circle may feel a bit twitchy on the highway.
