Default Question about ranger beds and remote start

So I have a white 2001 Ford ranger edge 4x4 4 door and it was in a hit and run rear end collision totaling the bed and I was wondering what year of a bed would fit and also if it matters if the bed came from a 4x4 or a 2 wheel drive thank you in advance for the help ...Also how can I tell if it has remote start function? all I got was the normal 3 button lock unlock and panic fob with the truck

rangers never were available with a remote start, you would have a separate fob for that if it had one installed after the fact

I believe the earlier post is correct. The earlier Rangers did not come with remote start. I just bought a used 93 4x4 that had it installed by the previous owner. It is an Excalibur 1-Button Security & Remote Start. The book that came with it says, Designed by Omega, and has a www.caralarm.com This one works fine, though a bit tricky on the timing on pushing the fob button. The owner had it installed by the local dealer.

A little common sense would tell you that a standard Ranger key FOB does not control remote start.
If you have a 6 ft bed then any 6 ft Ranger bed would work but there might be mild styling differences.

First off yeah but second off before that " a little common sense " maybe ask cause I have a sticker on my rangers front grill assembly that says " this vehicle is equipped with a remote start device " but I didn't get a special fob for it

Look for a wiring box under the dash by the steering Column, maybe you can figure out what company made the remote starter and get another fob

This should have been included in your first post.

I will do that as soon as I can thank you! I don't currently have any access to it right now because it is at a shop to get frame work done
