Here she is....Thanks for all the posts/advice.

Awesome looking

I have an opinion... some may/most will disagree.

A.) The 21-23 looks better (more aggressive) in MY opinion. Doesn't look bad. Just screams Nissan Titan to me.
B.) The "uni-dash" in the 24 looks "off" and like a cheap after thought knowing the original dash design of the middle infotainment center.
C.) The new bumper on the 37PP trucks are cool but everyone replaces them anyways. (will totally buy a take off for my 22 haha)
D.) Head up display.... welcome to 1988 Ford. Good job. GM trucks have had this for awhile.
E.) The new 37PP FOX shocks... cool but seriously how much better can they be?
F.) Same power figures as before....
G.) New tail lights look like a Toyota design. Not a fan.
H.) No front "locker"... poor move Ford

In short.. its like an Iphone. If you've got a 21-23 I don't see the point in upgrading to a 24. My 2 cents.

Agree, 21-23 front clip is better; however, the shocks make a huge difference - difference between the 35 and 37 was very noticeable.

Went in fully intending to buy a 35 and save $13K, left with a 37.

I had this exact feeling before getting a 24, but you don’t notice it at all and it ends up being more visually appealing than you think.

Looks good! Congratulations!

MY24 was the refresh, next gen would be next. I would guess you won't see that until MY27 earliest.

Also, don't go after a new truck just for a HUD. They aren't anything new, I had one on my MY12 camaro, and the vette had it before that. They are overrated and only add to the cost of a replacement windshield.

I have zero deductible on glass but I don't understand how it makes the window more expensive to replace. Is there some special coating that allows the HUD to display? I've had HUDs on many of my vehicles. My wife has it in her Porsche. It's no big deal at all. I wouldn't care if a vehicle had it or not so I agree with you on that score.

As for the OP, new is always nice. I've been tempted to trade my 22 for a 24 but I actually like the front, especially the DLR lines on side of headlights better on 22 than 24.

For the difference in price you mentioned, I'd do it. But then again, I'm on my 4th Raptor so I trade in as often as I change my BVDs.
