Did some searching while writing this reply...searching only for years. lol. so i'm totally not skipping out on this post i work so hard on making! lol. hahahaha.
CRAP. I suck. OKAY.....xcab doors do have holes for the molding. I'll admit it that I totally spaced that point. I believe 98-05 got the black crap....and if it's got the black crap, it'll have holes.
Here's Brenton's old Maz...
BTW....FWIW.....he's one that always jumps out as odd to me..... As far as I know, all 06+ come WITHOUT black crap...
bed arguement can't be had without a bed pic!

I just wanted to say that I'm very intrigued by the little subtle differences between Rangers and B-series. It's like a nice little game because most of the time, whenever I start really looking at them, just about everytime I notice something different between the two.
Heck....even made a thread dedicated to it(which I hope you post in Mike!)... https://www.ranger-forums.com/f40/ma...details-81238/
01-03 Maz have light gray interior and dark grey trim inside...where as ranger had dark grey with black trim. 04 is when Maz went to dark grey. The 04+ gauges are ( .Y. )'s! Belive they're black face w/ silver trim and another is white face with silver trim. Pretty neat all the little tiny differences are. Heck...I must've forgot that maz's still have chrome rear bumpers. 05 was ranger's last year of chrome rear bumpers.

look at the pic right above this, the body line is shown well in that pic... about 2-3 inches below the top of the tailgate, there is a body line, on the mazda, it's a single bevel, on the fords, it's a double bevel, the mazda is much less noticable... here is one of my truck, being the mazda has 1 sharp edge, the other sloped, the ford is sharp on both
this can be seen on the box also, it's a very subtle difference...
doors may be the same, i said they were different, because of the body line... i could be wrong on that
can be seen here too

no, that one, it's obvious for other reasons, the body lines on that truck look the same as the stx... as do a fair number of the mazda beds, which i realized after i was looking through pictures of the mazdas, but i do stand firm that some have the soft line which i was talking about
the orignial start of all this was what i post on turning my 08 mazda into a 08 ranger all the pics to prove stuff have been older mazdas (all the ext cabs were 00 or older look at the grill and headlights) and jugging buy the wheels on the single cab you posted it was like a 02(i could be wrong and ill admit it when i am)
BUY A MAZDA OR GTFO

and also, shane you are right about the mazda bumper.
i actually like it a lil more....but ya, definitely different
**double edit, as for the chrome around the window, on a single cab it would not flow right because the oem version is meant to also circle around the extended cab's window....single cabs never had the chrome trim around the windows.
