Gen 2 is tempting me…

[MKW1456]

Just came across a low mileage very clean Gen 2. 2019. Ruby Red. 27k miles. I believe it’s unmodified.
I’ve previously had a 2019 with stage 2 (upgraded intercooler, exhaust, intake and Cobb tune) that I loved. Since have had Gen 3 35 and Raptor R (subsequently sold). Now in a TRX. Looking at this as a way to weather the auto and general economy fallout. Sell a different more expensive vehicle. Probably keep the TRX and would probably do a build on the Raptor. Haven’t looked much at pricing on these for a long while. I know it may be a step backward tech and suspension wise (rear leaf springs) but could be a very fun toy to wrench on. What do you think it’s worth ??

Curious why you sold the R and ended up with a TRX?

Yeah….good question. To be honest it was mostly the interior. I had them both for about 6-8 weeks and just found myself wanting to drive the TRX more often. And (don’t hate on me) I got the R for 5 over and had a chance to make a quick $20k on it and didn’t like the code orange as much as I thought I would. Great truck, no doubt. Just a decision I had to make. Now just feeling nostalgic about the Gen 2.

Get the Gen 2. Send to SVC for their rear 4 link. Sell the TRX for more hοοκεrs and blow.

Considering the pedigree of your previous and current truck, I think you'll be pretty underwhelmed with the Gen 2 once the nostalgia wears off.

I can relate, I went thru a Porsche stage. Caught the bug and ended up selling my aircooled and my 997 gt3 all to order a new at the time 991.2 gt3rs. Got it . Hated it. Never lived up to what I buiit in my head. Sold it and now have a gen 2 raptor that I’m head over heels about. The take away is .. the latest and greatest might not be what you want and doing an easy build with some character is way more fun.

If you do that, why not, but, absolutly buy a scab for this project !

19-20 Raptors are somewhat timeless imo. With near endless aftermarket support.

Sounds like a Gen 1 is in his future
