Mazda B-Series was around before the Ranger, but it was only based off the Ranger after the 1994 model year, the 2nd year of the third generation of Rangers. Prior to 1994, it was a hole different truck. I believe Boggin owns a pre-ranger B-2600, along with several other members.

Hope that clears some things up.

That sucks that the B series is going...kinda. They are just a rebadged ranger and more expensive to buy new. My next vehicle may be a new B series or a ranger considering they are the exact same thing
