you forget the gen 1 was a limited production. when the gen 2 came out, ford said anyone who wanted a raptor would be able to get one.
Exactly. Was going to post link to this article this morning but didn't for exact reason you just mentioned.

Gen 1 forever baby!

Gen 1 glory days are nearing the end for me anyways. I barely even drive my 14 whipple jdm anymore since acquiring my 2020 (mpt prx tuned) . It’s really sad to just let it sit. I occasionally drive both back to back and conclude The 2020 is faster, Lighter, More comfortable. Better all around IMO.

Blessed to own both however. Gen 2’s are just a good mix of things. Something just more refined tends to win out for more usage.

I love both I just prefer my gen 2 for everyday practicality/fun/safety (auto wipers auto headlights etc) especially since tuning it. The power delivery is amazing
