The Gen 3 vs the Gen 2 is a huge difference.
Having said that, I prefer the front end of the Gen 2. It’s more aggressive looking to me.
Not a lot of aftermarket stuff for Gen 3 yet.
When (and I do mean when) the aftermarket becomes available to the Gen 3, it will be a night and day difference between 2 and 3.

My 2020 warranty expires in July. I’ve been looking at gen3 raptors and yes I know, updated tech, rear coils, big *** infotainment screen…
I want to like them…
They just don’t make my undies wiggle. I don’t like the plain straight tailgate appliqué. I don’t like the decals on the 3rd gen’s (any of them). I hate orange, everything is stitched in orange. Why? There is no engine upgrade…it’s just a facelift, not a new gen.
Last of all I just don’t think they look as tough as a gen 2.

Other than $85k for a truck with no tonneau and no rear inner fender liners, what is keeping u guys in your gen 2.
Have you driven a Gen 3? HP may be the same number, but it hits differently. Sloppy rear leaf springs are gone. All the other techy stuff is neato but I don't care about most of it.

You already have the active shocks, so no difference there. I wish they were optional, the dumb shocks on my '18 were amazing.

The price has kept up with general inflation, so you get what you get.
