gen2 dash feels cheap and plasticy too me... i almost bought a gen 2 ranger out of desperation and planned on ripping the dash and front clip off if i had bought it.

The ONLY thing I don't like about my gen II is it would take a lot of work to add round headlights!

The interior is very comfortable n I prefer the "soccer mom" dash over the gen I. And seeing how 90%percent of the time I'm inside the truck behind the dash that weighs pretty have IMO. I only have to look at the non-round headlights when I'm walking up to it.

My .02: I love both. My B2 was a gen1, my ranger was gen2, and my explorer is gen1 (gen 2 ranger) I love the exterior on a gen 1 hands down, but love the gen2 interior. If I could have my B2 back (favorite RBV) with my explorer's interior and running gear (4.0/M5OD)... WOW :D

I like the gen 1 exterior but the gen 2 dash.When I changed the motor I changed the dash no hesitation.I also love that everything is manual in my 86.A round headlight conversion would be real cool to have.

From a looks perspective I guess I lean slightly towards the Gen 1. But from the mechanical aspect its all Gen 2! Come on two fuel pumps plus that stupid single function reservoir. Who needs that crap.
