About the Mazda B-Series UF
The UF-generation Mazda B-Series, known as the Proceed in Japan, was a cornerstone of the compact pickup market for over a decade. This 2.5-litre turbo-diesel variant was a staple for commercial operators, valued for its mechanical simplicity and robust ladder-frame construction. While the North American market received Ford-based variants, the international UF models remained true to Mazda's own engineering, featuring a part-time four-wheel-drive system and a dependable WL-series engine. Today, it is remembered as a durable survivor, often outlasting more complex successors in harsh working environments.
