The Mazda Rotary Pickup, a unique and innovative vehicle produced from 1972 to 1977, represented a bold departure from the traditional gasoline-powered pickup trucks of the era. This truck, also known as the Mazda B-Series, was powered by Mazda's revolutionary Wankel rotary engine, a technology that promised high performance and compact size. The Rotary Pickup was offered in two configurations: the B-1600 with a 1.3L engine and the B-1800 with a 1.8L engine, both featuring the distinctive smooth and quiet operation of the rotary engine. These trucks were primarily marketed as compact and economical alternatives to the larger American-made pickup trucks, targeting customers seeking a fuel-efficient and agile vehicle for everyday use. The Rotary Pickup's design was characterized by its distinctive angular styling, reminiscent of contemporary Japanese sports cars like the Mazda RX-3 and RX-4.

Despite its innovative technology and unique design, the Rotary Pickup faced several challenges that ultimately contributed to its limited production run. The rotary engine, while impressive in its power and efficiency, suffered from reliability issues and high fuel consumption, especially compared to conventional gasoline engines. Additionally, the Mazda Rotary Pickup struggled to compete in the American market against more established and rugged pickup trucks from Ford, Chevrolet, and Dodge. While the Rotary Pickup offered a distinct driving experience, it lacked the durability and towing capacity that many American buyers prioritized. As a result, the Rotary Pickup remained a relatively niche vehicle, mainly appealing to enthusiasts seeking a different kind of pickup truck experience. Eventually, Mazda discontinued the Rotary Pickup in 1977, marking the end of a bold experiment in the pickup truck segment. Despite its short production lifespan, the Rotary Pickup remains a fascinating artifact of automotive history, showcasing Mazda's early commitment to innovative engine technology and its attempt to challenge traditional truck designs.
