[QUOTE="Tritan, post: 1908058, member: 66684"] New member here, thanks in advance for any recommendations you guys have. I'm in the market for a Raptor and want to spend around 50k or less before taxes (could be persuaded up to 52k for a great Gen 2). Should I be looking at a nearly perfect Gen 1 for much less than my max budget or are you still enjoying your Gen 2 trucks in the 80-100,000 mile range? The things that are important to me are safety (I will have two kids in car seats), reliability, performance and some creature comforts, in that order. For reference, I'm coming from a 2018 F250 6.2 gas with a Carli Commuter lift on 37s and Methods. I feel comfortable doing modifications myself and would probably enjoy having extra money to do so on a Gen 1. On the other hand, Gen 2 trucks look great stock but the frequent posts about their overall reliability have me on the fence. I realize I'll probably catch some flack for this topic being brought up repeatedly but because market conditions are always changing I thought I'd ask your current opinions. [/QUOTE]
