A little Sad and a little happy

There is just a lot of scary stuff that people talk about with regard to engine problems. Your chances are much greater on the gen 2 versus gen 1. If you have to have a new one, lease it. You don't want to be on the hook with one of these.

Do you own a gen 2? Your statement seems very biased.
Most people I see with raptors don't complain about the engine.
The only knock they notice is the no V8 (sound).
Even Toyota Tundra has its share of lemons

Sadly a majority of that jump is all due to yearly inflation. Sale prices follow it, but wages don't :/

Yeah and the options list grew on the Gen 2. Lots of tech and luxury. The 2010 was pretty bare bones compared to a fully spec'ed out Gen2.

My '11 Gen 1 will go up for sale when the '19 Gen 2 arrives - hopefully the end of next month.
It will be a sad day when it leaves the driveway - I'll miss it - no doubt; lots of good times - but it is a 7 year old, 85K mile truck with outdated tech; (Sync, comfort, etc. - the engine is timeless...) so it's time for an update.

Based on my research the Gen 2 will take it's place in the driveway quite well.

Kid Icarus is a well known troll who has had numerous accounts banned but keeps coming back to **** with gen 2 eco boost owners. His original account was sanquach sonthing hence the squached comment. Look him up on the fourm and you’ll see....

So I drove 50 miles in the worst rain ever to the dealership today and 50 miles home in the same stuff in the new truck so I think I have at least a basic understanding of the driving differences in bad weather. The 2014-80K miles and shocks need some love. Manhole covers feel like the grand canyon and rattle fillings. Engine sounds and feels as good as it did the day I bought it. Sadly, NE salt is lining up problems down the road. I am bummed to say goodbye but it is my daily driver and I have kids who are playing travel sports so I dont have the time for a hobby and a personal investment to rebuild. Also out of warranty as Ford never called me to extend.

New truck-feels more generic-not in a bad way but stiff, tight, quiet and lots of little things that are meaningful-tech, heated steering wheel, better phone integration, moonroof etc. In my view, the 2018 is better in every way than my 2014 except the motor so far....Dealer has an issue to work through with me-not naming names but they need to make somethng right that popped up. Moved my Method NVs from my 2014 onto my new truck.

Now I need to figure out suspension want to level-collars-tbd, lights, etc. Bak Flip Revolver 4 goes on tomorrow.

Oh yeah and Led Foot is the best raptor color to date....

Option 3, trade your wife’s vehicle in and make her drive the GEN1. Best decision I’ve made since marrying her.
