    Are you sure about that?Ford still makes their own trucks...although Mazda has supplied the lighter duty manual transmissions for both truck lines for quite a while.Probably some other sub-assemblies too.

    Read the door tag on the Mazda truck....it will say made in the USA by the Ford Motor Company. The Mazda truck is a Ford. Next time I see one on a car lot I will take a picture of it.

    Yeah.. the Mazda B-Series trucks are pretty much all-Ford. The Ranger is a very, very old Ford design and I'm 99% sure that they're 100% FoMoCo bodies.

    You are incorrect. It's actually the opposite, the Mazda is a Ranger with a few diffrent body panels.

    Big ol' American cars are actually pretty good for slidin' around from what I've seen. But yeah, for autocross or something gimme a Miata, or even a Del Sol. But I'll never take a Honda Civic for nothin'.
