Gen 3 to Gen 1 consideration

[Jakenbake]

I think that there could be some confusion on “better” and “better for a use case”

For instance: Will the truck be a daily driver or weekend toy? Off road or highway only? Kept stock or modded as can be?

In my case, I can’t keep up with gen 2’s and 3’s out of the corners but I can close the gap real fast through the rough stuff. Having said that I’m not stock……… my truck is also a toy and not the best daily driver anymore. I do drive it to event that can be many hours away and still enjoy it. Daily use, not as much.

Sound of the exhaust, lack of cab insulation (road noise), loud tires, king race series bypass clicks, noisy brakes, etc …….. Some/all of that could be a deterrent to someone and it could be a desire for others.


If I had it to do all over again I wouldn’t have bought a raptor, but it is because of the raptor I got into what I did so I’m still happy.

Why is this thread still going? Complete waste of time. Like arguing about whether vanilla ice cream is better than chocolate.

I use mine as a daily driver and the occasional off-road and camping adventures. I recently purchased a trailer that it could tow easily. I've taken it on a few 1000 mile road trips and it did great. Comfortable and I didn't really notice that the road noise was any louder than the other V8 trucks I've owned before. I did feel much better and my back and hips weren't on fire after the trip like the other trucks.

lack of anything else going on LOL

My steering wheel still squeaks when I turn it... I guess we can talk about that? No one else responded to my thread LOL. The clock spring did come in today! So, I may take some pics and update my dead thread if it fixes it.

Vanilla ice cream has a more nostalgic feel to it.

I fixed that steering wheel squeak, it was the clock spring. Just throwing this off track as much as possible at this point.

I like it better, so it is better. End of story. Duh.

Just promote your love for the Gen 1 over the Gen 2 and he will be back because he's like the Energizer Bunny keeps going and going!
