I've had a 1996 Mazda B3000 4x4 5sp manual Extended Cab for years now and Love it.
Posted my intoduction about its rough shape when I got it for $500 back then.
I barely go to the Mazda Specific Forum because most everything I'm interested in learning about is on one of the other forums here at TRS.
Back in the day, Canada got pickups labeled as Mercury or Monarch because in part, their dealership networks didn't support carrying all the Ford, Lincoln, Mercury, Monarch lines.
Canada had tons of Trucks produced as Mercury with corresponding labelling like Ford except instead of F-1 or F-100 they were M-1 M-100 etc with different trim, grill, head/tailight and options.
They are/were GORGEOUS!
I'm thinking about making my Mazda B3000 into a "What If?"
If FoMoCo had continued offering Trucks under their Mercury banner, what would the 2nd Gen Ranger platform have looked like?
What would a good name have been, fitting into the Mercury line of models?
Admins can move this to whatever forum they think it belongs in, but I'm hoping it generates some thought, research by others not familiar with Mercury Trucks, and discussion. I can use members opinions to help my decisions on moving ahead with maybe making a "Tribute" Mercury Model of our Rangers/B-Series.
