Yeah, that truck is identical to the Ford Ranger, meaning it is built by Ford at the same assembly plant as the Ranger and is mechanically identical as well, just has different badging and a couple of exterior details. Look up info for the 1995 Ford Ranger and you should be able to get whatever you want.
The Ranger/B-series trucks are reliable vehicles from what I've seen with family and friends who have owned them in the past. Stay away from 4wd Rangers and B-series though, because they are less reliable (more to go wrong, and the parts that go wrong are parts that wear after time), also the 4wd models with four-cylinder engines tend to be dogs when the 4wd is engaged. 4wd also cuts down on the fuel economy.
BTW, either you made a mistake giving us the info for the truck or the listing you looked at was wrong. The B-series truck was named B2300, B3000, B4000 for 1995. The number after the B indicates what engine the truck has. The B3000 has a 3.0L V6 with 140hp and 160 ft-lb of torque. The automatic transmission is a 4 speed.

It is a Ford Ranger with different trim, might be a V6, should be more information on those. Try Ranger Powersports

If the truck is a 1995 B3000 with the original engine, then IT IS a 3.0 V6. Mazda labels that Truck like I explained above. The B2300 has a 2.3L 4 cylinder, the B3000 has a 3.0L V6 and the B4000 has a 4.0L V6. BXXXX isn't a trim level, it tells you what engine the truck has. There are no B2300's with a V6 and no B3000 or B4000 with a 4 cylinder. Plus you get more and more options as standard features as you step up from one model to another.
These things weren't the case with the Ranger. In the Ranger, you could pick your trim, engine, trans, drive, bed size and type, cab type, wheels, packages, and options. Most of these options were independant of each other. For instance you could get XLT with the 3.0 V6, auto, 4wd, short flare-side bed, single cab, alloy wheels, off road package, and whatever options. You could also get a XLT with a 4.0L V6, 5-speed, 2wd, long bed, single cab, chromed wheels, and whatever packages and opitons you wanted.
