The end of stepsides?
 
When I went to ford.com to build a truck I wanted it to be a stepside but it didn't have that option. Then I got to thinking I haven't seen any newer models with the stepside. Did they stop making that an option after 2000? If so, why?



My dream ranger is a black stepside 4X4 with a lift kit.

I believe 04 was the last year but I could be mistaken.

Damn :( Does anyone know why? Was the fiberglass too much to mass produce?

Up until the end of production ford had been cutting back on alot of the available options, my guess is to make it cheaper to produce. The step side was just one of those options cut.

I hope you weren't trying to build a ranger.
