    same length (both 5ft short bed, 6 ft long bed) different width (i'm gonna guess 4-5'' difference) and the 2nd gen bed's are plastic, 1st are metal.

    I just discovered (on wikipedia) that the 1st gen. bed was 5 inches longer, 60 inches for 2nd gen and 65 inches for 1st. gen. The 2nd gen. is obviously wider.

    The second gen bed is lighter and also is a little shallower than the 1st gen bed
