I like the flareside. I liked it even more after I wrecked the truck and found out it was way cheaper to fix, too.

Work truck, or show truck?
I like the looks of the flareside better, but I bought the styleside because it's
just more practical. Sometimes I need to carry stuff that just won't fit in a
flareside.

I prefer the Styleside.
I bought a Flareside. (It was available, and I couldn't pass up the offer.)
The bed is too narrow on the FS, for me.
Hmmmmmmmm. I wonder if it is a direct replacement to bolt on a Styleside?

I like the looks of the flareside, mine is not a work truck and I have time to clean the extra nooks and crannys. I agree with Tortoise, "Mazda has the best of both." not to mention the 50,000mi warrantee. But the selection is slim.
