The pickup Courier was revived in 1972 as Ford's first compact pickup, a rebranded Mazda B series imported from Japan as a response to the popularity of small Toyota and Datsun trucks, with a 1.8 litre engine and a four speed manual, and a front grille styled like the F-Series. A five speed was added in 1976. Its model years run from 1972 to 1976. The Courier was a Ford nameplate used on very different vehicles in different places and years, from sedan deliveries to pickups and vans.
