This generation featured a bold, modern look with a sculpted hood, large headlights, and a spacious cabin.

Powertrain options ranged from the robust 3.7-liter V6 engine to the potent 4.7-liter V8, providing ample power for work and play. Notable features included a comfortable interior with optional leather upholstery, a 4-wheel drive system for enhanced off-road capability, and a payload capacity of up to 1,600 lbs.
