Default 2007 Ranger XL Tailgate compatability

Greetings - first post..

I'm in the market for a tailgate (white) for a 2007 Ranger XL w/ 6' bed.

Wondering what model years would fit. Some online listings seem to indicate that there was some change around 2006, but not sure if that was simply the badging or if there is a structural difference or chaning in hardware/hinges etc.

Anyhow, any guidance would certainly be appreciated!

Thanks !

93-11 will work. Badges a little different. Mazda tailgates too. Mazda tailgates don't have holes for badges. Tailgates are based on bed. Step side will only fit step side beds, and fleet side will only fit fleet side.

Thank you for the response ! Did you gather this from your own experience, or just via knowledge you've gathered from various sources ? I'm just wondereing why some of the suppliers on ebay have a definite break in application between 2005 and 2006 model years.

People have asked a bunch of times on the forum. The beds from 93-11 are the same. Some have 6 bolts, some have 4 but they are all the same.

----------

Mazda and ranger tailgates are the same besides the badge holes. The beds are different but all tailgates from 93-11 are the same and will interchange.
