I still dislike the 3rd Gen...but have one now and find it, well, ok.
My favorite is 2nd Gen Dodge, am a big fan of the 4th Gen...but, the 5th Gen really nails the look of all generations of Ram trucks.
You can see 1st Gen, 2nd Gen, 3rd Gen and 4th gen.
When you see the 5th Gen next to a Classic...the 5th Gen looks so much more chiseled and really show the odd beak look of the 4th Gen I never noticed and now can not unsee.
I also do not like the regular hood badges, but the sport hood looks so much better than the 4th Gen hood.

I think the HD looks even better, that stupid filler between the headlights and bumper takes alot away on the 1500...just as it did on the 4th Gen. Very stupid look on both generations fixed by the HeavyDuty bumper.
You can see there is still a good but if the fender drop, it they did it in 2 stages and it is all in the hood now and not a separation between hood and fender.
And I Do not get the Toyota connection other than a Toyota looks like a direct copy of a 3rd Gen Dodge to me
