Why would you not buy a gen 3?

[GordoJay]

Because I have a 2020. I'll wait for the frenzy to die down and pick one up when the bugs are worked out. And when I can get invoice.

A good point was brought up. Imagine the rust on these trucks after sitting outside all winter waiting for chips.

The issue for me is the cost of trading. So I just bought a gen 3 at MSRP, great, BUT dealer prep fee, shipping fee (or travel fee if you fly and drive) then the biggest one of all Georgia Advelorem tax 6.6% of the full value plus dealer fees. So I also have a gen 3 on order, (since June) that was bumped to 2022 (801a, 37,powertech) so IF it comes in in 2022, I would have to either trade the one I have in and get MSRP on it (which credits to the advelorem) and eat shipping and dealer prep fees, or sell it for MSRP+ Advelorem+ shipping to get enough money to buy the one I originally ordered. Which many people would think I would be trying to "make" money off it because selling an 77k MSRP truck for 83k seems like I would be marking it up when in fact I would just try to get most of my money out of it. Long post to say it depends, stay with the code orange or trade/sell it for the AMB 37 when/IF Ford ever builds it.

Two reasons. No SCAB and the prices are insane. For $80K there are better options that meet my needs for a vehicle.

Surface rust on the rotors at most.

They say piks are worth a thousand words. In the case of the Gen3 I disagree. Before I got mine I thought the Gen2 front ends looked so much better. Then seeing the Gen3 in person changed my mind. The Gen3 grille is as good if not better in the Gen2. When it’s side by side with a Gen2 you will see. Ford did not go “backwards” on the styling. To each there own tho. Couldn’t be happier that I got my Gen3.

I hate the digital dash, IMO gauges should have an analog appearance like the G2 trucks. Hate all the colors on the digital gauges. 0.9 rpm, WTH is that? Hate the shifter, Ford tried to fix a problem that didn’t exist. Doesn’t get much better than a ‘19 carbon fiber shift handle. Hate the ‘37 graphics on the bed. Another WTH, slapping a bunch of crap across the entire bed and part of the doors? Designed by a 12 year old girl? Still struggle with the front end, and flat fender lines toward the hood, and specially the front fender area around the vents, and the vents themselves. Again fixing a problem that didn’t exist. Giant step backwards in those areas......
