I wish I liked the gen3

Yea, kinda decided on keeping it. Tires and rebuilt shocks in a few months and the truck should be good to go for a while. I wouldn’t mind the payments if it was something I was in love with, but it’s not.

Too easy brother.

Is this a Gen 2 vs Gen 3 war?

Because ... I got responses..

It’s a paid off vs +$50k difference for ? War

I love Gen 3 ups

What ever make you happy I prefer the Gen 3 interior over the Gen 2 interior. My 22 was pretty nice but my 24R interior is much better.

These comments are nothing but Gen 2 guys trying to make a ridiculous argument to make themselves feel better. lol. Gen 3 is superior in every measurable way.

Nope. My gen 2 has a key. Not a ***-fob. A real key. It's so nice. Everything else? Yeah, gen 3 is probably better.

lol I like my key too- also….any gen3 guy who drives a stock “non-tuneable” truck who hasn’t driven/owned a tuned gen2/3 can simply **** on this discussion too- the difference between a tuned 3.5HO (gen2 or gen3) & stock is SIGNIFICANT - so as we’ve said, someone w/ a well maintained well modded paid for gen2 doesn’t have a ton of incentive to buy a gen 3 besides coil rear & a nicer interior BUT more QC issues

Honestly if we take emotion out of the equation, which is impossible as a Raptor is an emotional purchase.
Raptor R - Would Love it and would buy on emotion alone for MSRP.
2025 801a- have one on order. Will say right now if the upholstery looks as wrinkled as 50% of the ones I have seen on dealer lots I will walk. It’s not a money thing, it’s a paying for something that looks like dogshit. A $25k Camry looks better. So a quality thing.
2025 802a- yea that’s a $11k for 37’s, dual live valve, Recaro branded seats. Naa pass.

Not so much for me. It's the most capable stock off-road truck I could buy. Full warranty. It lets me go to remote places. In comfort. I like that it isn't ugly, but I'd still buy it if it was. And if the only color was shítter green ... I would still buy it. The first scratch or two annoyed me. Same same first dent. But I'm over it. The best thing about having the gen 2 is not feeling bad when I get another scratch or dent. The worst thing is those damned leaf springs.

Completely understand that logic. That is precisely what my eldest son would say. Function over form, use it for its intended purpose.
