Modern truck bed sides have gotten so tall that I cannot reach over them. I’m 5’9” and most full size trucks have beds that are as tall as my shoulders. The old ranger was as tall as my elbow and made reaching into the bed very easy. I often carry car parts for restoration projects I’m working on so not haveing to climb into the bed every time I need something is a must.
I looked in the specs but didn’t see one for bed rail height (or maybe I’m blind). Can anyone tell me the height on 4x2 rangers?
Anyone else annoyed by this? I think it has to do with aerodynamics. Less distance from bed rail to roof is better for aerodynamics. I’m used to old trucks or the ‘65 Chevy stepside I had where it was real easy to step and reach.
