[QUOTE="combatninja, post: 1597655, member: 22285"] I don't think most truck buyers base their buying decisions on the aesthetics of the vehicle. News flash: they are all kind of big, ugly, vehicles with clumsy detailing and shoddy panel gaps. They're [I]trucks [/I]after all. I think what most pickup truck drivers in general and Raptor/TRX buyers in particular are after is [I]machismo. [/I]They want the thing to ooze testosterone from every pore. While I agree that the Gen 3 is not a home run in the looks department, I think you need to give it a chance to be seen in the flesh before passing judgement. Especially with the 37" tire package, I think it is going to have a lot of presence. Enough about the styling since that is the [I]last [/I]thing anyone should bring up with respect to this vehicle. In every other way, the Gen 3 is a step change from the Gen 2. The interior is loads better (find anyone who says the new F-150 interior is not an improvement), the infotainment/connectivity is better, the new 5-link rear suspension is going to be superior in every way imaginable. That alone will be transformative to the point that it will drive like a completely different vehicle. It has finally addressed the weak payload and tow ratings in the bargain. There is a lot of hand wringing going on about the new truck and it not being "good enough", especially from Gen 2 owners who, by the way, [I]have not driven it yet.[/I] Wait until the first few converts start trading those 2017s and 2018s in for these things and the honest owner reviews come out. Not some flowery, "everything is great" shit review to affirm their decision but real, honest feedback. The truck is going to be be worlds better. [/QUOTE]
