Which to sell: Gen 1 or Gen 2?

[Sharkman]

I have a "first world problem" I need help with. I have (2) Raptors: a 2012 SVT with 65000 miles and a 2019 Raptor with 35000 miles. I no longer need both trucks so I need to part with one of them.

I LOVE the Gen 1 body but the Gen 2 has so many more options than the Gen 1. My Gen 2 is 100% fully loaded, including the Ricaro seats. Could I live without the options (blind spot detection, adaptive cruise control, front camera, digital speedometer, rear 360 degree camera, the upgraded display, etc)? Absolutely - no question. the Gen 1 doesn't have any of those options, which is fine...it has a kick-ass V8 and an awesome sounding exhaust.

What are your all thoughts? Which truck should I sell?

If the Gen 1 is a scab I might lean that way. Just something about it. Both screws, keep the Gen 2.

Both are supercrew cabs... There is just something about that V8 that causes me hesitation to sell the Gen 1....

Have a tug-o-war and let the chips fall where they may.

Them Gen Juan curves though....

Depending on the use of the truck. Starbucks? Gen 2. What to do Raptor stuff? Sell the Gen 2. Upgrade the Gen 1 suspension.

I would keep the Gen 1. I just like the way it drives with the heaver body and V8. Mine has 66k miles and it is just getting broken in. You could probably sell the Gen 2 for a good price?

You like the Jen Juan better and you’ll get more $$$ from the Jen Too.

I would keep both and then buy a Gen 3. You would be the envy of the neighborhood.

I am in the same boat. Full load 2014 and full load 2019. My current thinking is to keep the Gen 1 forever. I am driving it once every 2 weeks currently and using the Gen 2 as my everyday vehicle. I have a deposit on an R and will see where that takes me. If I get it I will sell the Gen 2 and drive the R for a while and see what happens. I plan to fall back on the Gen 1 as my vehicle in retirement because its Dead Sexy and cool AF. If I dont get the R I will likely upgrade the Gen 2 to a used or new Gen 3 or a Lightning for a daily driver until I stop working in a few years. Then its the Gen 1 to the country club and trail heads!!! Thats the loose game plan anyways. I dont think you will ever regret keepin the Gen 1 as it is rare and only getting more rare. Peeps always point and stare and want to stop and talk about the 2014. No one gives a rats ass about the Gen 2 from my personal experience. Dont get me wrong, the Gen 2 is awesome for the upgraded tech, but just not the same presence.
