Too bad this gen-two iteration, with its fast-revving 265-horse V-6 nestled within a modified Titan’s steel ladder frame, looks so much like the original, because it doesn’t deserve one iota of its forebear’s rep. It’s like the difference between Kate Smith and Kate Moss."
Not surprisingly, considering it's from a mostly performance oriented magazine, judging a 1999 truck that using partial 1980's technology in year 2006.

Pretty sure magazines like FourWheeler would've said something different.
