The primary changes for the 2000 models was the squared off dash. Body
changes were very minor and most all 1997-1999 parts will fit the 2000-2004
models. As for the engines in the 1997-2004 models, same engine - different
engine controller (NGC1, 2, 3).
The "Gen xxx" descriptions are mainly there to differentiate in between the
major model changes...minor cosmetic changes don't really count.

style

If there were enough differences with the upgraded engines and slightly
modified body to make 1991 count as a new generation, then wouldn't the new
engines and slightly modified body in 2000 be enough to count as well?
Ultimately it's all semantics and it doesn't matter to me. I like my Dakota
the same no matter what you call it.
