Only thing that bothers me about the G3 are the fenders and flares, but every other part of it is better based on a test drive.

Aren't they pretty much identical to the G2?

Well… Done it! No “buyers remorse” so far… Love it and the quality overall feels like a true step change!

Seeing the wheels in person changed my mind on swapping out the wheels from my Gen2 also.

Edit: For the eagle-eyed among you, you may have noticed I swapped out the antenna for the stubby I had on my Gen2

Thankfully it fits and I never listen to the radio so don’t care about radio reception before anyone pipes up (although it’s never been an issue to be fair).

I’d like to jump in on this one.

I went from a silver ‘18 with a ton of issues, so many that the dealership bought it back (at a discounted price of course) to a Magnetic Grey ‘20 that I loved, the best truck I ever had. Yep, HAD.

I got the itch and went for the TRX. Wow, that truck was amazing especially after owning a hellcat charger at the same time.

However…the little things that were missing tech wise vs my ‘20 raptor annoyed me more each day. Plus, the hemi tick and misc other things were just too much to settle for.

I took the ‘22 TRX and swapped it, and paid a bit out of pocket to get into a 2023 Oxford White Raptor.

Best move ever. Love this truck, not thrilled about the color as much as the previous silver and grey. But that said, I look at every other raptor and think, “I wish mine was that color”…

I even did it with the grey and silver gen 2’s wishing I had white, lol.

My wife thinks I’m nuts.

Love the Gen 3, I put 37’s on it with the raptor r wheels. Looks sick.

Congrats! I was going to swap my ‘20 beadlocks onto my ‘23, since the 20 beadlocks were my favorite by far. After seeing the ‘23 35 beadlocks in person they’ve grown on me a lot.
