I got a crazy idea. What does FORD consider to be a 2nd vs. 3rd gen Ranger?

The Japanese breakdown by generation and series. For example, our project car is FC S4 (86-88). S5 was 89-91. THEN a generation change to FD S6 and so on.

Basically when the whole damn thing changes (or very close to it), that's a generation change. Corvette C3 - C4 - C5 is crystal clear. But when when items, including suspension and even engine configurations change, that's not enough in and of itself to be a generation change . . . unless the manufacturer says it does. Just my $.02.
