Were just messing with you bro, You posted in the Gen 1 thread.
Welcome to the forum!! Nice truck BTW. Most of us Gen 1 guys are just
pissed because we can't afford a Gen 2 but most won't admit it.

That couldn’t be further from the truth. Most GEN1 owners that have held out, have done it because they don’t want the GEN2 and hoping for something better. The GEN2 isn’t all that.

Ditto

Like I said "Most"

Well you guys are the exception that makes the rule!!

*some

I wouldn't trade my bare bones gen 1 straight across for a loaded gen 2, I had an ecoboost, not interested.

Still wrong. Maybe how you feel but more like @ogdobber said, “some” maybe. I am seeing more and more GEN1’er spending money now doing larger suspension upgrades that surpasses a stock GEN2. And there are plenty others like myself that have both because I have no desire to get rid of my GEN1, so that throws your entire narrative out the window of a wish or too pour for us.

I got mine pretty well upgraded with fox 3.0’s all they way around. There just starting to look a little dated. My son has a 18 and I have driven it extensively and I prefer it too the gen 1 If I could afford a Gen 2 I would have one. I do 99% of my driving on road.

I guess I was wrong, I am the only guy that can’t afford a Gen 2 Hope that satisfies you all!!

Why not just have two Gen 1's if there that much better?

Resale, purely resale so I can get rid of it when something better comes along. I have had too much fun in my GEN1 and it shows. So its going to become more of a toy. Still plan on TRR next month with it and a desert run in the summer.

And for the record, I never said the either was better than the other in pure stock form. I was merely responding to your unfounded claim that GEN1 owners are pissed and cannot afford a GEN2. So because someone owns a GEN1 and not a GEN2, they are pour?
