Default Mazda trucks

Is it true that the Mazda trucks were made on the same assembly line as the Ranger?

no - as far as I know! The frame and stuff cab shell and stuff like that, then it was sent to a different one for final assembly - I might be wrong - its been a long time - but I think that what I read.

Yes, the Mazda truck was made in the same assembly line as the Ranger twin. Final manufacturing is a whole different story because no vehicle is completely made at one place due to cost. My dad used to work in the Brookpark, Ohio Casting Plant and both Engine Plants. The engines were made and then shipped to final destination points, but to answer the OP's question, a Mazda B3000 could very well have been made in Minneapolis/St. Paul right before or right after my Ranger. All anyone has to do is run the VIN number, and everything related to the vehicle is displayed.
