The standard four-wheel drive system with dual-range transfer case offers excellent off-road capabilities and superior traction on a variety of road surfaces.

Standard front bucket seats with a center console offer excellent comfort and additional storage flexibility.

Standard on all B4000 models are front passenger dual-stage airbags for enhanced passenger protection in a collision. The standard four-wheel anti-lock braking system provides superior stopping ability and helps to prevent wheel lockup during hard braking. What’s more, the standard Tire Pressure Monitoring System (TPMS) alerts the driver to any significant drops in tire pressure.

A solid, capable, and well-equipped compact pickup truck, the 2009 Mazda B4000 is an excellent choice for light-duty work or hauling your toys for weekend adventures.
