Are these the least popular or is it just in my area? I see so many 02-05's and older in my area, and a ton of brand new ones, but only on a very rare occasion will I ever see a 2006-08. Or maybe I'm just never paying attention haha.

Whats your take on this?

Yeah, it's the same way over here too. My uncle has a black 08 1500 MegaCab...he lives over in Hudson.

Now that I think about it, I can see where you're coming from. My guess is many people bought the new body in 02 and up, and since 06 was just a facelift rather than a new body, not many people traded up. 09 rolled up with a complete makeover which turned heads again.

I agree, it looks fresh, and a lot more proud when its stock haha. Certinly not bashing the 02-05's however, its all in opinions/prefrences. Hell, from 02 all the way to 09, we don't look half as dated as the 02 chevy's and fords of the same years.

I like the 06 - 08

But those stock tailights wtf!?! I can just never get over those and I don't really like the interiors either. I do like the headlights better though... I think lol

Neither did 2007. But 2007 was when they went to the ridiculous bubble tail lights.

Ah I know, super thankful I don't have those on mine, I don't know what they were thinking.

I'd rather have had the amber strip then those hideous tail lights. lol And what kills me is there was no reason for them, other than somewhere multiple somebodies thought they looked good.

Tail lights are fine by me. Look good on my inferno red truck. :)

I noticed a lot of durango's have the same taillights not sure if they thought it looked good or what but not on the trucks. I dont much care for them either but i if i had to choose between the 06 headlights and my tailights i would keep my taillights. Of course you can install the flat later model tailights but there is a little wiring to do and maybe some fitment mods IIRC.

IMO

07-08 best headlights
02-06 best tail lights
06-08 best looking interior
02-05 most comfortable interior

See the amber strip hasn't bothered me at all, I just got my headlights done in black, and I think the contrast is nice, especially around dusk when I have only the amber lights on
