No, that's not true, the body style change occured in 91, the front end was
lengthened to make the V-8 fit better, the composite headlamps were
available on higher trim models, the standard headlamps were available on
base models all the way through 1995, and the cooling system was upgraded.
It is true that 91-93 most Daks came with the base model because it was the
sport package introduced in 92 that made the Dakota more popular. If you
don't believe me, go get you self a 91 grille and try to bolt it on a 90.
All of the sheetmetal before the firewall was changed, the six lug and new
wheels was introduced also. I believe that the electrical system was also
upgraded in 91. Its true that it is a pre-Mag, but it is also a Gen-II. It
is the same reason we don't call 00' Dakotas Gen-IV, just because they use
the new 4.7L with the new obd-III engine management system.
