Talk about a confused truck. I bet it's been wrecked.

Yeah its a 04 Edge at heart, just has a Mazda/STX bed and 06 grille. I'm sure its been wrecked, probably pretty bad.

Yeah, this truck has definitely been wrecked. The door panels have even been replaced with the cheap Ranger XL panels with no side pockets and smaller gray arm rest.

Yeah the door panels don't even match, I wonder why they did that.

The arm rest looks normal to me.

The panel and the kick plate next to it are different shades. At least it looks that way.

Both door panels are the same, but they don't match the EDGE package.
They're XL door panels. The reason I'm talking about these door panels so much is because I actually need a LH 04 + XLT door panel and all the salvage yards I've been going to just have the XL panels that are in the white parts delivery Rangers.
