[QUOTE="Badgertits, post: 1429620, member: 31322"] While I know it’s a pickup truck @ it’s essence, but it’s a damn expensive ass one (used or new gen 1 or gen 2) & while not a “sport truck” its has the sportiest of intentions compared to most anything else in its class......so all that being said before you get into any of the numerous individual tangible upgrades/improvements gen 1 to gen 2- could you Imagine buying say.....a 3 series, a Mustang GT, a corvette, a Jeep Wrangler, a Cadillac, etc etc pick any damn niche/luxury/performance vehicle you want- but just try & fathom looking @ 2 designs only a generation apart- not like a classic vs modern thing here.....could you really see yourself picking the slightly older version that was heavier yet w/ lower torsional rigidity & weaker frame while wearing mild steel body panels just waiting to rot/corrode over the lighter/stronger version w/ an all AL body? It’s really an impossible scenario for pretty much anything else besides a Raptor just because of the damn V8 vs. ttV6 BS- never mind the fact that it takes a SC on a gen 1 to match a stock gen 2 when you can load a $400 tune onto a gen 2 immediately after & raise the bar another 100hp/tq I mean raptor crap aside, are people that enamored by a ****** Ford V8? I guess so. It’s interesting to me to say the least...particularly b/c I purposely left my V8 truck (GM 6.2) for this Gen 2 Raptor lol. [/QUOTE]
