IMHO, the only reason "Gen II" trucks are referred to as Gen II is because
their owners have an inferiority complex. They're stuck with the boxy
styling of the old trucks but they've got the motors from 97 and up trucks.
So they, call them Gen II in order to come up with their own identity when
all they are is the same truck with a new drivetrain.
All the 92-96 trucks were was a stopgap. Chrysler had all their design
effort in trucks focuses on the new Ram so they updated the front clip and
dropped bigger motors in. But they were still basically the same trucks.
Good trucks, but the same.
I'll be putting on my flame suit now.
