Looking for a used bedliner for my '03 Ranger / reg. cab short bed. What years of Rangers will have the same fit for a bed liner?
thank you

you might try a junkyard. Ive been looking for awhile myself, but mines a longbed and not nearly as common as the shortbeds are. Ironically I have a shortbed bedliner from a previous truck I owned. Id guess that any shortbed (except stepside) ranger would use the same bedliner. (well except for the newest generation of 2019 & up.)

thanks, and good luck on your search. My local yard has rangers but I think no bed liner, maybe I need to check more yards.

maybe you could check local Rangers for sale and see if a seller would let a liner go.

However,,,, they usually hide rust. that may complicate the sale.

I have one, but shipping is kind of a deal breaker.

If it ain't broke, break it.
I got one in my yard that I wish someone would take. Kinda far from PA though.

1998-2011 will fit 100% for sure.

93-97 I'm like 90% sure.

Pre 93 I don't think will work, the bed contours are different.

Over the rail... 93+ will work.

Under the rail... 83-11. The interior of the bed is the same.

The first gen beds have the same 2x4 slots as the 98+ trucks?

Damnit. Beat me to it. IIRC short bed is 83-92, 93-2011, fiberglass, or dual tank.... Can't remember if they produced short bed dual tank, but the indents are still there for it in my 2011.



My one chance to be useful today....

I think that works for outside as well. Like. There were only ever 3-4 short beds for all 83-11
