Doing this as a service, but roasting or counter arguments welcome. Summary: upgrading to Gen 3 from Gen 2 was completely worth it for me.
Pulled trigger on slightly used 2023 37 PP in IC, while I still had my 2019 white 802A. Couldn’t wait for 2024 shelter green order anymore when I saw the 37 PP silver… she is just gorgeous. No suck a55 moon roofs on either. Drove one for a day, then the other, for about a month before buyer of the 2019 Gen 2 sent shipping truck. Here is a summary of what I felt and saw:
1) the 37 package is huge visual +…. Just looks bigger and badder. Friends and family agree… completely next level cosmetic experience
2) the ability to adjust exhaust, suspension and steering is great and I’m still not bored with trying different combos, seeing if some optimize mileage and which eat the roughs best
3) infotainment and CarPlay and display speeds… good heavens Gen 2 sucks in comparison
4) ride feel and over steer and fast speed stability… comparing here isn’t quite apples to apples because the KO2s on the new truck have 15K and the Gen 2 KO2s had 26K… generally KO2s go noticeably loud for me after 20K. That said, the Gen 3 felt slightly “less tight” for me but this could be adjusted in settings. For bumps in the road, hands down suspension in Gen 3 much better. Rather than droning on here there isn’t a huge difference in ride between the two and I’d give the trophy to Gen 3 for the flexibility
5) cabin in the Gen 3 just seems bigger. More space everywhere. My family agrees. I haven’t checked specs or measured, but the FEEL is just more spacious.
6) I didn’t like decals on the Gen 2, but I like them on the Gen 3 37 PP.
And although not a Gen 2 vs Gen 3 thing, iconic silver really is the best color . Dirt hard to notice unless mudded out. I will add pictures later when not using airport internet.
Edit: Tried to add pics... couldn't get it to work.
