Happy with the switch?

5 link rear, big screen and exhaust … pretty big upgrades. But for me the 2019 i have feels timeless. Idk why… theres something about the cockpit. It throws aviation vibes. I’ve said it before , I’ll perhaps get a gen 3 someday. But I'm definitely not in a rush.

I’m coming from a ‘17 so you can add live valve shocks to this list for me and there’s a difference in “ride feel” to me. Lockable storage although I did enjoy the full flat rear floor of the 17; now I have a place to lock the rifle. The pro power will definitely get some usage. One last thing…that digital gauge cluster said “come get me” so I said say no more.

If a ‘20 will serve your purposes, save the cash for other goodies.

That said I don’t think the Gen 3 is a $100k truck (with the V6).

Def not a 6 figure truck.

What’s the allure of a huge screen?

Edit to say…everything’s big in Texas!

There is, people have done it here on FRF. Look under the audio tab.

Oh really? Put a 2021 display in a Gen2? I’ll have to make sure and check that out!

Honestly, I’m just a tech junky - I like and the way it functions more like an iPad. I’ve looked at the other big screens to replace it with, and they just don’t look as clean or have as great of an interface IMO. That’s what I like about the Gen3

No, a big screen like a 2021+ or Tesla.

I went from an 18 to a 22. The 18 was more fun i think.
Like 9PM on a Friday night in high school, anything could happen. Everything felt like it was going in slightly different directions at times and it was oddly enjoyable.
The 22 is "better" but doesn't feel like it's living on the ragged edge. No little quirks to get used to.
Both trucks are great, if I didn't put over 100k on my Gen 2 I would still be driving it. It was just time.

I’ve seen some… and don’t get me wrong I know I’m being picky - I’m not a fan of the ones I’ve seen. The interface that ford has developed in the Gen 3’s are just nice. look good, clean, functional. Much less of a tablet feel.

Was the tech difference huge? Or is it just a new truck with neat new features? ….if that makes any sense

I am not a tech guy, but having more radio presets you can scroll through from the steering wheel buttons is among the better things I've found. Android Auto is junk, to me, on both trucks.

The bigger screen is nice but not something I couldn't live without.

The self steering cruise control is much better, but I hardly use it. the only other big difference is the active exhaust, it's pretty cool.
