Thanks for the links

Most Ramcharger enthusiasts consider 91-93 a third gen of it's own, because the frame had to change to crumple frame and the magnum engines became available, along with a facelift for the front end. Up here in WI, they also rusted a lot worse and had more electrical issues.
Interior of the 80's trucks was updated to a fairly modern type in 87. '90 was the first time an OD auto was offered, optional.

My older brother owned a K5 when I was a youngster, I had a Bronco with a 351 shortly after high school, and now own a '90 Ramcharger. Of the three, the Ramcharger is the best built, by a wide margin for the 80's and 90's. Probably a toss up with the Bronco for the late 70's trucks. 78/79 Ford trucks were built like tanks.
People ignore the 90's 2 door Tahoe's. Those were much better built than the older K5's, but they look too new yet for collectors. I think that will change in the next 2-3 years.
