I currently have a 2020 802A with 20k miles... and I can't stop thinking about a G3. Anyone else?

I can stop thinking about Gen 3 anytime I want. Really !

I’m sure the gen 3 is a great truck. What do you think about the Gen 3 is going to improve the quality of your life that makes it worth the extra 30 grand or so you’ll need to fork over?

I’m sure the new suspension is great, but I’ve got a torque arm which as significantly improved Lucille’s sometimes misbehavior. Plus I’ve got about 2600 bucks in audio that, all due respect to the new b&o, I’m pretty confident my system is better.

Now, I wouldn’t mind refreshed electronics, but the bigger display means zip to me. Sure, it looks good but honestly if the whole sync system could be eliminated, I could do just fine with using the phone to navigate. I appreciate the nav integration into the vehicle but it’s not a deal maker or breaker for me. I would love the latest/greatest TCM programming, I detest when Lucille tries to take off in 3rd gear from a dead stop, or won’t down shift from 3rd after a sharp turn, even if I floor it. Of course, the new truck may do exactly the same, who knows.

Lines? I like both Gen2 and Gen3.

So, again I ask, how is the Gen3 going to make your truck owning life better?

Obviously, it's not going to improve my quality of life, but it's always nice to have nice new shiny things! If I can find one of these unicorn dealers that only charge MSRP, I could make the jump for about $8k. Otherwise, I can't complain about my "old" GooseTuned 2020.

May I ask where you found a MSRP purchase? The best I found was $10k over, and they thought they were giving me a deal. It was $20k over for the 37"

That is a perfectly good reason and there’s absolutely nothing wrong with it. I just (try to) make that evaluation on vehicles.

That’s pretty good, if you could score one for under 10k of your money, and you’re not adding on to payments etc. it could be worth it. You do get a significant tech bump.

If the deal comes to you, then by all means seriously consider. But with only 20k on a ’20, you still have a pretty new vehicle.

I don't care for SCREWs so the Gen3 doesn't really appeal to me. I'll probably keep my 2020 SCAB for a couple more years until I decide what's next.
