Nope, that means it should be the same brakes & rattle and pop prone Gen
III chassis, No offense to you GenIII guys out there; but someone is always
talking about needing to replace bushings, shocks, brakes or some other
components that really should last more than 20K miles or so.
I just feel that the GenIII's underpinnings seem like they were a rushed
in design stages. If they're making that many changes for a GenIV; Then
wouldn't it have actually been cheaper to actually share platforms with the
Durango. That way, all they'd have had to do was blend a truck box back
into it; and put a heavier leaf spring rear suspension under it.
Just my $0.02
