The Gen 2 is the Best Raptor Yet and...

Someone is butthurt.

Not someone. Many of you Gen 1'ers are "butthurt"

If you love your Gen 1 enjoy it. If you don't like the Gen 2 keep it to yourself. You only make yourself look bad when you throw rocks at the next generation of "your truck"

Correct me if I'm wrong, but isn't the whole point to a new generation of any vehicle supposed to be an improved upon version of the previous one. It's just logic. You wouldn't take the 1st generation Mustang and then compare it to the performance of a mustang from 2016. The technology over the span of years just naturally improves. In this generation of Raptor, everything but the engine is an improvement. The engine, in my estimation, is a work in progress (especially a new 10 speed transmission) and we'll be able to tell once some time has passed whether its power production and reliability hold up. The one area owners of previous Gens can always argue about is style. Sometimes it's an improvement and most definitely sometimes it is not. But honestly, if every owner of the previous generation of mustangs talked down to the next generation and VISA VERSA then there wouldn't ever be a Mustang Club.

Your logic is sound. We understand. Exit is just uptight

You know what was cool about FRF? No one was trying to say their truck was "better" than anyone else's. Everyone was just trying to make their truck unique to suit his/her needs or wants, and got inspiration from others who had posted up the mods done trying to do the same thing. Unless someone posted about lifting the truck, people were genuinely interested in and supportive of damn near every idea owners have had to tweak what ford created for enhanced performance, looks, or whatever. It's the apparent need to compare, like a **** measuring contest, that's come about since the gen2 that's diminished what ownership of these trucks is all about: brotherhood and good times. Maybe a different sort of crowd has been drawn to the gen2 as opposed to the gen1, or maybe it's just a small group of ********** making it seem that way, but it's unfortunate either way. Enjoy your trucks, and quit trying to compare or rank yours to everyone else's; that's not what this is supposed to be about.

Goes both ways. Just as many G1 nut swingers dropping into threads about G2s and derailing them from being a productive discussion as there are G2 nut swingers.

I'll give FRF credit for trying to separate it and start FR2, but there was already so much material here it was too late. It's a ghost town over there.

Once more trucks are delivered and we can actually start comparing notes and see builds progress I think it will smooth out.
