Welcome! If you can drive each Gen, this may be helpful and you may come down with an easier decision. The Gen 1 and 2’s looks are a bit different. So which do you prefer? Do you like more old school V8 power and sound or do you want more power and not the conventional truck sound per say? Since this is not a daily, can you go without the newer tech and later comforts? Or do these things really matter? Both trucks can do a lot and quite capable. But both trucks are a bit different as well.
