Good luck.

You know, my ’17 has been REPRESENTING well since purchase. I got her in January of ’17 and she’s been exactly what you’d expect from a purchase that big - starts when asked, stops when asked, reliably gets me to and from, whether I’m just cruising or doing stupid human tricks. I know we’ve had some members with trouble, some multiple times but I think the overwhelming majority have just had great trucks. As evidenced by the number of Jen Too to Jen Tres upgrades.
I really wonder how much of the ’21-’23 blues are just pent up frustration and if the numbers are really that much worse.
It’s not even meant to be a “dig” @ gen3’s, I’m involved in the auto/OEM manufacturing biz & have some insight into the industry & specific challenges- all that aside, it’s kinda general knowledge that the first 1-2 years of fresh design cycle- particularly on vehicles like 1/2 ton trucks that often get thoroughly revamped to “keep up w/ the Jones’” tend to have more issues than at the tail end of the product cycle when more of the little kinks & gremlins that only pop up in real world longer term usage have been worked out.
Throw in the supply chain bottlenecks, trade war, & Covid BS & that phenomenon is certainly going to be exaggerated.
This doesn’t change the fact that the vast majority of 2017 Raptors are fine, but what’s simultaneously True (most likely) is that the volume of general
Issues reported on 2017 Raptors is far greater than 2020’s
I’m sure the same will ring true for 2021 vs 2025s
