I love the styling on the Gen III's.. but I've only had Gen II's; they've
both been great trucks, mine have both been the 2.5( basically a stroker
version of you Chargers motor) great little motor but not available in a CC.
>From the mileage on the V6's.. I'd say to go ahead an get a 318 in it..
unless your budget has you looking new enough to get a Gen III with a 4.7.
Most everyone on here with one loves them immensely.
If your looking used, be sure you can find out the trucks history. I bought
my 94 from it's original owner with 93K on it.. and he said they were all
hard abusive miles; so it had a clutch change shortly before I got it. But
he had no problem letting me know what had gone on.
I've driven several V6 Gen II's and love them especially the 5 spd ones.
Options to find are up to what you want out of it.. consider A/C and 4WABS.
Sorry for rambling.. all those negative post had me thinking how much I love
my truck.
