What are you looking for in a Gen 3? (With Survey)

Since the 6.8 is most likely a de-stroked 7.3, I doubt the torque would be that high. If they design it for high RPM, they could probably get ~520HP and a similar torque number.

Agree. But a high rpm motor would not be for a truck. Intakes, heads, cams/timing all can be customized for the application.

5.0 twin turbo!

Pretty much a supercharger and 37’s option. Other than the suspension, nothing else matters. Anything better than this **** GEN2, and yes I owned both.

"**** GEN2"? You mean the newer vehicle that out performs the Gen 1 in every aspect? The vehicle that more capable, more purpose built, stronger, faster, and better selling, all while being more efficient? Some of you Gen 1 fanboys are really bitter; it's sad.

I own a GEN2, yes ****. Hopefully the GEN3 will change that. Not bitter, just disappointed, not that impressed with the GEN2.

What's not to be impressed with on a vehicle that outperforms the other in every aspect? Clearly a subjective opinion, not an objective observation. I own a Gen 2 and have driven plenty of Gen 1's, there is no comparison, the Gen 2 is the superior vehicle by all measures and on all fronts.

Have you looked into a TRX? Really it seems like the “Right now specs” you desire. Or you will only go Ford? Just curious how many will make the change if Ford doesn’t produce a V8 Raptor.

A modded GEN1 outperform this new GEN2. When I owned both my wife went off-road with me in the GEN2. She told me that she no longer wanted to ride in it, it wasn’t as smooth as my GEN1. Took her out on the same 40 mile off-road trail with my GEN1 and she was yep, I’ll ride in this.

Just for a stock raptor that is supposed to be so much better by leaps and bounds and so much superior, yada-yada, etc... that it fell short of that extreme promise. You can say what you want, don’t really care. It wasn’t that big of a difference to make someone go, Wow this thing is day and night difference.

So yeah, I will pull off these suspension parts and upgrade them to get it back to what I was used to. But I would of thought my GEN1 upgraded 3.0 shocks would at least have a similar ride with the stock GEN2 3.0’s and supposedly better suspension. Nope

Not impressed on the daily drive either, my GEN1 was funnier to drive. I mean don’t get me wrong, technology wise, its a better truck. It just isn’t that so awesome that you want to say it is.

So I can have my opinion and you can have yours about the GEN2 and I can just hope it gets better with the GEN3, hence what this thread is about. I have a 2020 so I can wait.

No desire for a TRX.

Hard to imagine a Raptor being better than my Gen 2.

Any Gen 1, lol
