That's kind of how I was, but for what seemed to be a lot of intangible reasons.

Yeah the exhaust sound sucked really bad, but whatever that's a quick fix if you want to be. It was just weird, it was a really nice truck but I felt like it lacked 'soul' for want of a better term. I really wanted to like it, but came away feeling 'meh' about it.

For a daily driver though, I think it's a great truck for sure.

Eh, just quiet it down, that's probably the route I'd take. Or I'd leave the fake noise on and never roll down my windows

The noise sucks, but wouldn't be a deal-breaker for me.

#fakenews just like the Costco Raptor purchase program.

They do give you free mochas for life with a Gen 2 purchase though. You just have to ask.

I'll never give up hope on a V8 option

SOLD SOLD SOLD. I need my mocha in the morning and this is too good to pass up

I sold my '13 last year in anticipation that when the Gen2's came out that it would make the prices dip a little, but like everyone has seen, they haven't at all. I kind of wish I kept it.. Speaks a lot for the truck though. I loved my '13 and if I had my choice (and space) I would have one of each Gen. They are so different! The Gen2's are awesome and I don't think you can fully understand until you actually drive it over a longer period than a test drive (the thing really is a rocket ship, for a truck, at certain speeds/gears). That being said, there are a number of things that I do not like about the Gen2. I believe that will happen with any 2nd, 3rd, etc Gen vehicle. They have to make them different to keep the incentive to buy them. My biggest concern with the EcoV6 or any turbocharged motor for that matter is the long term reliability.

I'm seeing 13/14's SCABs within a 500 mile radius of on the lots in the mid to high 40's with anywhere from 22k to 55k miles on them.
