1st or 2nd generation Raptor?

[Badgertits]

No thank you...

amusing actually that article seems a lil biased even - starts off saying the gen 1s V8 “isn’t drastically different from output compared to gen 2” babahaha!? What? 10% more HP & 15% more TQ while weighing 500+ lbs less & pairing that power plant to a significantly superior 10 speed tranny while also returning a 20% improvement in fuel economy?

Yeah nothing drastic, shit I bet a gen 1 owner could bridge that gap themselves- all they need is a garage, set of tools, 6er of Bud & that V8 rumble in the background amiright?

this is LOL funny seriously....I guess there’s not a helluva lot going on these days so gotta keep busy somehow

Look at who copy/pasted the article together. Do you really think she even knew what a Raptor was before?

I know Gen 2, get over yourselfs. The Gen 1 is far superior!

This site has a sub-forum where you won't have to deal with hardly any Gen 2 owners. Some people need help finding it. LMK if you need a link, would like to help the technically challenged.

So, let’s pretend for a minute. Let’s say that you are in the market for a brand new 2020 Raptor and Ford offers two versions of the truck;

-The “classic” version with the 6.2l V8 and older body style
-The current version with the 3.5 V6 EB and current body style

Both have roughly the same MSRP. Which model do you take home?

Based on the information in this thread I guess I’m going to have to sell my gen 1. It’s just a pile of crap.

Evolution is bad I guess?

Never said that, I actually like the gen 2, it is a great truck. I also think my gen 1 is a great truck.

It just “seems” that people are offended that someone likes another version.

That’s a no-brainer. Nicely stated.

Both with zero miles and brand new? Gen 1 for me. You can keep the Gen 2 issues.
