In 2001, Mazda redesigned its B-Series trucks to add both style and power. The Mazda B2500 was no exception: the trim was upgraded to a 2.5-liter four-cylinder engine that gets 119 horsepower and 146 lb-ft of torque, and a sporty design that’s become a hallmark of compact trucks from the early aughts. Though it won’t win any races or beauty pageants, it will do the job of a sturdy pickup without too much trouble, thanks to a cargo bed with plenty of room.

2001 Mazda B2500 truck bed dimensions

The 2001 Mazda B2500 was available in two different trims, the SX and SE. While they differed in details like the material for upholstery and the addition of air conditioning, the bed of each trim measured the same at 5 feet and 10 inches.

That bed has a payload capacity of 1,260 lb, making it perfect for hauling materials for household projects, a couple of ATVs, and more planks of plywood than you can count. If you find an all-wheel drive model, you get a reliable work partner that can get you where you need to go with all your supplies in tow.

2001 Mazda B2500 cargo bed specs

The Mazda B2500 is a no-frills compact pickup with a simple design, so the cargo bed doesn’t come with many bells and whistles. The good news? That’s reflected in the price of a used model, which will likely cost you just around $2,000 to $5,000.

Compare that to the Mazda B2500’s top competitor: the 2001 Nissan Frontier. Not only does a used Frontier tend to cost more—between $4,000 and $7,000, depending on your area—but the flatbed pales in comparison to its Mazda counterpart. Whereas the B2500 offers nearly six feet of bed length, the Frontier comes in at just about four and a half feet.

If you’re on the lookout for a used truck from this year, you’re better off going with the B2500.

This app is great, but the customer service is even better! Not to mention convenient! My husband and I got the lowest rate (much lower than the rates I was finding online through my own searches), quickly, and pretty much all through text message! Thank you so much for a hassle free experience👍
