--If CC and the trade magazines that I have seen can be believed, the 97+ Dakota has significant engineering improvements over the pre 97 models and was not simply a cosmetic make-over.
Kinda like the improvements made in the full size RAM from from 93 to 94. Certainly, locally there is a big different in resale value between the 96 and 97 model years.
