[QUOTE="BMB063, post: 1478699, member: 38724"] Your feedback is appreciated! What you're saying makes sense and many reasons I would go Gen 2 over Gen 1. I just honestly want a newer vehicle in general, but wanted to make sure the Gen 2s were still pretty reliable. It sounds like Gen 2 would be a great choice if I make sure all the cards play out, but it also seems that the Gen 2s may not be as reliable as the first gen trucks. It seems with the newer tech and Ecoboost, it has more maintenance that will be needed. I don't drive a ton so MPG isn't a huge deal to me. I am buying a massive truck I am ready to commit to the gas station as my second home haha. Regarding resale...it seems like the depreciation on Gen 2 is far greater of a threat than on a Gen 1 considering that the Gen 1s have already had so much time to depreciate. They seem to be holding $25k-$38k depending on spec/condition. If I buy a Gen 2 truck for $43k, theres a good chance in 4-5 years it's worth $33k. Buying a Gen 1 for $33k I don't see it being $23k, but I am just guessing here. Regardless of all this, I think I would prefer a Gen 2 if I could swing it, but $10k more is still significant. Good info man. [/QUOTE]
