The new Ram has 4-wheel discs, the '03 Durango will as well. Let's hope...

How so? On my '99 they're pretty good, aside from having to run the A/C if
I want both dash and foot vents running.

Seems to be hit or miss. My '99 has been pretty good.

More ground clearance
"Cleaner" underside (less things to hang up on rocks and collect mud)
Factory locker at least in the rear (Even Toy TuRDs have this!)
Room for larger tires
Real skidplates & tow hooks, from the factory
More aggressive stance
Better back-up lights
MORE POWER! (who can argue with that?)
Please, for the love of God, don't make it suck. If that M80 concept is
any hint of the next Dak, I'll keep my '99 forever.
