I think it looks excellent just like the gen 2, only different.

I think the Gen 3 looks nice.... BUT the fact that Ford forces you to have Blue interior with the 37 Package and the same old V6 twin turbo was enough to sway a large number of us to the TRX. The ONLY draw now for the Gen 3 Raptor is the 5-link and 37's.

Let's face it most of us that owned a Gen 1 and a Gen 2 modified the suspension right off the bat and it was a huge improvement on both generations. With the Gen 3 there is not that immediate need to raise the front, add Deavers in the rear and get a bump stop kit. But it still has the same lazy turbo lagging V6!

I'm not brand loyal, just want the most bang for the buck as long as it's made by an American company. I've NEVER owned a turbo V6 car or truck until my 2019 Raptor. I just can't get over the lack of power and turbo lag. Yes, the truck is quicker than my Gen 1 but the driving experience is NOT better. I think Ford dropped the ball BIG TIME! They let Ram fill the want/need of so many of us for a high horsepower V8!

I hope those that ordered a Gen 3 are happy with their trucks! I'm moving on to a 702hp good ole American supercharged V8.

Ram is a sub brand of Stellantis a Euro conglomerate that owns it. How American owned do you mean, 40%, 60%?

Don't get all technical! I guess I should have said Chevy, Ford or Dodge/Ram.

I'll rephrase... I'm not buying a truck made by Toyota, Honda, BMW, Mercedes, Lamborghini, Ferrari, Alfa Romeo, VW, Nissan, Hyundai, Kia, Suzuki, Kia, Audi or Porsche.

Come on man! You knew what I meant!

I said I wanted an American Supercharged V8!

The V6 is just there for fuel mileage! F+U-C@K fuel mileage!

You sure took that out of context, we were addressing the G3 fog lights as opposed to the high quality triple aftermarket set and housing available to the G2 trucks...

There is nothing on the Gen 2 that looks better than the Gen 3. Gen 2 looking dated hard now!!!!

I just don't think its a game changing design for the suspension....they were following Ram on that.

The Gen 3 wasn’t engineered after the TRX was released—it has been in development for years. Your kidding yourself if you think Ford is taking notes from Ram on off-road technology. Ram has had a coil rear suspension on all their trucks for a long time. So it’s not surprising they made an “off-road” version for the TRX. Moreover, it is pretty funny that SVC, KHC, and everyone else has released a linked rear suspension of some sort once the Gen 3 was announced/released. If anything, Ford is the one setting trends.

Does anyone have the VIN off this 37 package truck by chance? .

I didn’t know what you meant by that but I see your point.

It’s an opinion on the interpretation of beauty at the eye of the beholder. No homework or babysitting required.
