[QUOTE="Tim G., post: 1099806, member: 22579"] I have watched this forum a lot ever since the news of the Gen 2 got out.. Here's my situation: My employer has a Gen 2, and another one coming in shortly, as well as a very nice 48,000 mile Gen 1. I can take whichever I want to pay for.... I drove the Gen 2 truck for about 500 miles last week. None offload though. This is a very nice truck. Smooth, great on road handling, looks great. I had expected much more from the engine, and the 10 speed is a "serious let down" to try to be as nice as possible. The only way to drive it was in Sport mode... "Normal" made the truck feel like it was asleep.... So you need to poke away at buttons before you put it in drive. The truck has the tech package... Way too much bs on the dash for a truck.... Absolutely terrible in my opinion. I Have driven his Gen 1 truck a bit, but it has been some time. From what I recall, the Gen 2 has better ergonomics in the cab, but the Gen 1 felt more like a truck (this is good in my opinion). The V8 is a real engine. So, those that have had the Gen 1 and now have the Gen 2.... Please, give me your honest opinion... and don't just say Gen 2 simply because thats what you own. As of right now, I'm leaning toward taking the Gen 1 and putting a Roush supercharger on it...and saving myself a ton of money. (Is the Roush supercharger a good move? That may be another topic) I'm looking to make the decision this week... Please help. Thanks [/QUOTE]
