Dodge doesn't call the '90/'91 difference a generation change, since it
didn't change internal designations. Chryco corporate calls the current
Dakotas 3rd gen, not fourth as much of the enthusiast community does.

Also, they skipped the dash redesign from '00 to '01 which I thought
significant, and weren't as clear on the 545RFE intro and Magnum to 4.7
switch as I was hoping for, since we keep debating about that once in a
while.
