| eh? I thought the new Dak was going to be riding on an updated Gen
| III chassis bearing little if any resemblance to the new Durango.

Pretty sure it's not a GenIII chassis. At the very least, the framerails
are hydroformed (if I recall the press release properly) and that'd require
plenty of re-engineering elsewhere (everywhere something connects to a
framerail). Plus, the front suspension is completely new at least on the
4x4.
