I hear you but I was envisioning more of this:
put an 8 ft bed option on it and they'll sell IMO.
BTW I had several of the Mazda trucks back in the 80's and they were great IMO
At 8 foot bed, you’re at a regular sized truck. Or mid sized.
I’d just like to see a 6 foot bed with extended cab to haul 3rd person or some gear. Rarely haul 4 people.
That keeps the overall length under 200”
1st gen Ford Ranger (which I think mirrors that Mazda B2000):
