Tempted to upgrade to a Gen 3.

[motorboating]

Guys, it’s been 2 years since I bought my gen 2 and I’m already looking at the gen3. I’ve been eyeing a few online but haven’t driven one yet. Does the gen3 feel a lot different behind the wheel compared to the gen 2? Has ford fixed the clunky transmission shifts? Has the waste gate rattle been fixed? What’s the biggest improvements over the gen2 in your opinion? I love my gen 2 but there’s some things that could be improved I feel like. I guess I’m looking for a smoother more refined truck than the gen 2.

Already plenty of great replies for your request, but the main improvement is the 5 rear links suspension compare of the fu*** leafs . No doubt it's a huge improvement ,the other things are minor, some say interior is better, I would say it's just different...

Going from 2 to 3 isn't much of an "upgrade", same engine with more or less better rear suspension, slightly updated gizmos; at the heart it's still basically the same truck. To me that doesn't justify the substantial additional cost.

The gen 3 is more refined from a ride standpoint. Being able to change your settings for everything without using a default mode is nice. The transmission is maybe a little better, but largely similar in clunkiness. You get a larger screen, but most of the features are nearly identical. The stereo especially after some of the over the air updates is quite a bit better than my gen 2. Its still not a amazing stereo, but its pretty noticeable improvement. If you're coming from a 19/20 gen 2 I can say its definitely a smoother more refined driving experience. I can't speak for the blue body 17/18 driving experience.
