Who’s sold their Gen 1 during this market and hates the decision they made?

[BoostedToy]

I’m guessing you probably got a pretty good trade in value on it too. With used vehicle values being disproportionately high, there has really has never been a better time to upgrade to a new vehicle. Let us know how you like the TRX, should be a night and day difference from a Gen 1. If/when Raptor R does come out, you’ll probably be able to trade the TRX in for about what you paid new if the market stays the way it is.

FTO, What you laid out is literally why. It was tough to not pivot in this direction when I saw a dealer with -10k off of MSRP (and me not going with the loaded edition, mine is not a 90k+ truck…I ordered factory and targeted a couple of options I wanted and left it at that).

Ford Performance = SVT. Gen 1 started it and Gen 2 built on it and exceeded Gen 1 in every single way.

Some of you Gen 1 owners live in denial.

Trolling the Gen 1 section? Yeah, I know the SVT history well and why the bean counters moved it to a more mainstream “Ford Performance” group with lookalike parts and boring V6s. Looks like everything else.

Didnt improve it. In fact, went backwards. Needless features ( hands free lol), sketchy tech, with ever-ballooning price tags.. sounds great. My opinion and not sorry you’re offended.

Enjoy your truck.

Here's me driving a TRX off-road


with the extra $60k I'd have left over in keeping a gen 1 which was $40k used, You could build a better truck for off-road in every way. Your comparisons are basically the ones used of Trans-Male athletes competing in women's sports and it being called fair. Except Gen 1s are for real men who off-road . The point is, in the off-road world, buying a less expensive vehicle and using the extra money you save to build a more capable off-road vehicle, will always be better than spending more for a newer vehicle that you would then still have to spend even more on to make as capable as said built vehicle. A few HP gain isnt that important off-road. And size always matters

No, just stating the facts that. The only guy offended here is you, the caveman who is so insecure that you feel the need badmouth the newer, more capable trucks every chance you get. Clearly you have some serious issues. And no, you don’t have a clue about SVT or Ford Performance, that much is obvious.

Your statements are ridiculous, the Gen 2 and 3 outperform the Gen 1 in every regard. Those are facts, not opinions. As they should, being the much newer product. Your biased opinions don’t change that; it’s clear from your other troll posts that you have issues differentiating opinions from facts.

How ironic that you call a twin turbo Ford GT derivative “boring” when you drive truck that shares an engine with an airport shuttle bus.

Gen 2 & 3 are much faster, lighter, efficient, and better off road, all while being more refined and capable. Never mind the massive improvements in frame strength, suspension, features, and technology. You say “sketchy tech” just like someone who thinks power windows are new-fangled technology. Just because you don’t understand it doesn’t make it “sketchy”.

Keep living in the past and pretending your decade old truck is superior than the new models.

TRX isn’t going for $100k. @BoostedToy got his $10k off MSRP, and he stated his was not the top trim model.

My arguments are based on facts; not sure what trans “male athletes” or “real men” have anything to do with the conversation.

“Better” is subjective. If you’re building your truck into an off road only desert runner, it might make sense to buy a cheaper truck and build it. Especially in the event that it gets damaged. But you’ll probably never get that money back out of it. My comments were in reference to the average owner who uses their truck as a daily or moderate off road use and not exclusively off road or in competition. It’s a good market to sell used and buy new, but of course that’s not a position everyone is interested in.

In which I do totally agree with you about an average driver. But getting your money back out of something is a different conversation entirely. That truck I was driving was when they first came out and it was $100k out the door. And yes every comparison could be relative and everyone could argue all day about them.

The trans-male athlete comment is about what its like comparing a more expensive truck and then saying its better. When everyone just knows its a male who wanted to become a woman so they could be more accomplished

I bought a Level 1 package and added the panoramic roof and 19 speaker HK audio and called it a day. There trims are:
-Base
-Level 1
-Level 2
- Launch or Ignition edition (dependent on your model year)
My final invoice price is 75k and change, less TT&L. Sure you can add on options to get it up near 100k, but it didn’t make sense for me, personally, to do that.
