Meet the Mazda Haulers Rotary Power

No other pickup sold in America offers a combination of power and confidence like Mazda’s Rotary Pickup. The rotary engine generates an SAE net horsepower of 110. That’s more horsepower than any of the other leading truck imports. And it means Mazda’s rotary pickup will haul a payload of 1400 lbs. That’s a lot of muscle for a small pickup.

And there’s a lot of confidence behind the rotary engine: a 50,000 mile/3 year limited engine warranty. No other pickup comes close to that kind of confidence. Power and confidence. Two words to remember when you’re shopping for a small pickup. And Mazda offers both.

ROTARY POWER GUARANTEED: 50,000 Miles or 3 Years.

The Mazda limited rotary-engine warranty states that the basic engine block and internal parts will be free of defects, with normal use and prescribed maintenance, for 50,000 miles or three years, or Mazda will fix it free. This non-transferable limited warranty is free on all new rotary-engine Mazdas sold and serviced in the continental United States.
