Thoughts after owning a gen3 for 5 days/400 miles

[stoppard stop]

Pros:

-Acceleration/shifting is smooth smooth smooth
-Baja exhaust mode sounds incredible!
-avg 15.1 mpg (i didnt reset it when i picked it up with 36 miles on the odometer, so could be better than that)
-code orange is my new favorite color (i ordered white but have no regerts)
-truck is fun as hell to drive (oh whats that honey, we need milk? Ill go get some!)
-the 3-5 shift bump that my 2018 had seems to have been fixed, every gear shifts fast and smooth
-price: paid 71.5k, meanwhile autotrader shows 2018s 2019s 2020s with over 10k miles for low 70s....i feel good about my purchase

Cons:

-Windows seem slow? Idk but they seem slower than my 18
-When lifting the center console, after you get something from out of there, it will slam closed because of the weight of the roadhead mode table if your not careful
-Valve stems on the optional beadlock wheels is hard to get to(tires had like 50psi when i picked it up from dealer)


There may be more but those are the ones i remember right now. Bottom line is i loved my 2018 and i dont miss it at all. This truck is phenomenal and im in love!

only problem with this is can’t flip down the shifter for the center console so not really a roadhead compatible feature... but I like where your head is at

And the tire pressures seem to be the dealers not doing a proper PDI. When I was at Porsche this was done on every PDI. Every vehicle shipped with about 55-60psi in all tires to prevent flat spots forming during shipping.

Glad you like it, the cons you will probably get used to hopefully.

Code orange does look great!!

What's up with the tire pressure at 50 on all of the new trucks?

My Gen 2 was the same when I got it.

transpo, so they don't get flat spots

@EMY92 see my post above

Yup. Even worse on imports. Some brand new rental cars I’ve gotten pushing 60 psi

Same.
My assumption when I saw that on my 19 was they either didn't do a PDI or did it crappily. Either way, poor.

If the door says 38 psi, I should be taking ownership of the vehicle at around that psi as far as I am concerned. It made me think, what else didn't they do or check for...?
