NO the mazda and toyota are two totally different trucks.The starters are designed based on engine and transmission design.This part is specific and can vary based on a automatic vs a manual even on the same brand and year model.
This truck uses three different engines, all with slightly different starter mounting. All starter replacements are pretty similar though. Most importantly you must first disconnect the negative battery cable. Raise and support the vehicle. From under the vehicle remove the large and small power wires to the starter. Remove the starter mounting bolts Remove the starter. Reverse procedure for installation.
Remove and replace the starter.
