Here is another question. Its sounds like you're in the "modding mood"...possibly. Gen2s have a LOT more options for modification. You may go out and spend 10-13K modding a gen 2 you'll get more satisfaction out of it even if its maybe still not as good as a gen 3...overall. Car people do this all the time, and there is nothing wrong with it. Just depends on if you'll be as happy with a mostly stock truck even if it does everything you need to do and then some...vs something you worked on and got satisfaction from the incremental enhancement modification process (its also nice having a vehicle that stands out vs looking like every other Raptor you see everyday). Im just personally getting tired of modding cars because of the wash you take on all of it when its time to sell.
100% agree with this. I want to modd the truck. I don't really like stock. BUT, i think i could be happy with a Gen 3 in stock for if I bought the right truck. Trouble is, that "RIGHT" truck is 20K more than a Gen 2 that is the "RIGHT" truck to baseline for modds and drive every day.
Just didn't want to end up with something that wasn't ever going to be what I want. The GEN 2 can be everything I want it to be, and the Mods i will do to make it that are easily researched, selected and performed in my garage. I'm going to go with the Gen 2
