Exact Model Identification
Hello,
I got my 2002 Ford Ranger a few years back and it came with no user manual. Because of that, I don't know the exact model other than it being the 4x4 4.0L w/ extended cab 'edge'. The title doesn't say.
I need to order a replacement for the rear bumper + pad and there seem to be compatibility issues/constraints as to what Ranger model the replacement parts are compatible with.
I'm attaching a couple of photos that should help.
Thanks!

Welcome to the forum
You can get your owners manual here: https://www.ranger-forums.com/genera...1-models-3747/
You have a Flare side(Ford) bed, AKA Step side(GM) bed
So it will have a narrower bumper than a "style side" bed, it had no step so wider bed and wider rear bumper
The tail light assembly on either type of bed is the same, but you need a 2001-2005 model to match the other sides lens, they were changed in 2006 but would still fit, so you could change BOTH if needed
I think you can still order the Sales sheet/window sticker, for your Ranger, just need the VIN number and go to a Ford Dealer and they can order/print it for you, I think its under $20

Yes, Flare side parts can be hard to come by
LMC Truck show this one: https://www.lmctruck.com/1983-11-for...-primer-bumper
The chrome one is back ordered: https://www.lmctruck.com/1983-11-for...-chrome-bumper
Not cheap, lol
LMC also looks like they have the tail lights: https://www.lmctruck.com/lighting/tail-light
Go to LMC Truck: https://www.lmctruck.com/#
click on Vehicle selector and fill in the blanks

Enrico, for info...I've searched every aftermarket truck accessory company I could think of, including Westin Bumpers, ETrailer, Car Id, ect and it seems no one except LMC Truck carries a rear bumper for a Ranger Flare side, or for that matter a Chevy S 10 Stepside.
Aside from LMC, your best bet is going to be a salvage yard, or maybe keep your eyes out on this and other forums for someone who is parting out a Flare side.
Suggest you also check the Craigslist in your area, and also Facebook Marketplace for a Ranger Flairside that is being parted out.
Good Luck.
