But honestly, it’s not that much different than the Ranger mold. I think SnugTop is the only company that has a specific Mazda mold, if that is even still available. Most shell manufacturers did not change their molds to deal with this variation. In the 1998 to 2006 Mazda B-Series trucks, there is a slight difference: basically, the bed on those trucks has slightly narrower rails. Mazda TrucksĪny Mazda truck built from 1994 to now is identical to a Ford Ranger, for our purposes. It has a very short cab height, and the bed length is under 6 feet for the extra cab trucks and less than 5 feet for the crew cab models. It should be noted that there isn't a huge difference between the 83 to 92 Ranger beds and the 93 to 2012 beds, in other words, an old Ranger top fits the newer Ranger beds, the cab is just a little boxier in shape.Ģ019 to present The all-new Ranger is kind of unique. Rangers haven't changed much since 1993, except that the flareside bed, also referred to as the Ranger Splash bed, is different. Ford Rangers have been around since 1983, and stayed the same all the way up to 1992.ġ993 to 2011.
The longbed on these trucks is darn near 9 feet now.ġ983-1992. It wasn't until 2017 that Ford made major changes to the Superduty-most notably, the rear tailgate that has that half octagon shape to it.Ģ017 to current -The brand new Superduty trucks are slightly different than the previous years, most notably the octagon-shaped tailgate, there are other changes as well. The only footnote has to do with the step in the tailgate (see above). Yes, most top manufacturers can change out that rear door, but beware, those rear doors are NOT cheap.Ģ008 - 2016 -the F250 and F350s in these years are mostly the same. If you try to put a top from a 2004, for example, on a 2009 that has the step in the tailgate, it's not going to fit over that bulge. This is important because tops on 2008 or newer Superdutys will have rear doors that can accommodate this step, that is if the truck has the option. It pretty much remained the same, with the exception of adding a pull-out tailgate step in 2008, which is technically an option. 1999 - 2008 The heavier duty trucks, i.e., the F250 and 350s, came in the form of the new 'Superduty' in 1999.
