Dodge decided to KEEP the 5 lug axles? Going BACK to 5 lugs? The Gen II and
III all have 6 lug axles. I'd prefer 5 lug axles since I believe there are
more options for aftermarket wheel rims.

I found this little snippet funny...

"With the same engine options (and no Hemi on the horizon), Dodge decided
to keep the perfectly adequate five-lug axles. Nissan's new truck benefits
from liberal borrowing from a bigger and stronger donator platform--the
Frontier will have stronger six-lug axles."

Guess now we look like goobers for going back to 5-lug... ;)
