What years of a ford ranger take the same size bed liner as a 1997?

Answer 1

They came in both short and long bed variations, so that would have to match, first and foremost. Assuming you're talking about the North American model, 1993 - 1997 was the second generation of Ford Ranger, so, provided you've match a short bed to a short bed or a long bed to a long bed, any Ford Ranger or Mazda B Series from those model years should be compatible.
