I'm reporting this thread to the interwebs police! You are only allowed to post about how Ford sucks, how all cam phasers will go every few thousand miles, and how it doesn't even sound like a V-8.

Yeah it's pretty nice
I enjoy it well

Just think what you could do if you had a Gen 1?! LOL!

Just joking, glad you're enjoying it.

I’d love to drive one back to back.

They both have great qualities, just different. I have ridden in gen 2 raptors, owned a tuned gen 1 ecoboost (FX4), and driven a tuned gen 2 ecoboost (lariat sport).

They are fast as can be. The 2015 and up trucks do feel different, smoother and a little less truck-ish, if that makes any sense.

Having said all of that I love my gen 1 (raptor). It can be fast, especially if manual shifting and putting it right around 3500-4000 rpms and then getting after it. Wont be a gen 2 raptor in a race though lol.

I’ll be keeping my gen 1 but I really like the gen 2, and I am interested in seeing what the gen 3 brings to the table.

Gen 1 Raptors are a modern day classic. Those will be the collector's relics someday.
