Only complaints is the removal of the red stripe on steering wheel and im not a fan of the black bumpers and over fenders but nothing a paint shop cant fix, the Gen 2 stills looks the best in my opinion but the updated interior is worth swapping for alone!
I’ve been thinking about it too, but I’m not sure I can justify the extra cost. You’ve clearly decided to go for it, but does it actually ride that much better than a Gen 2?
It’s night and day. My Gen 2 was a 19’ and had the updated suspension over the 17-18’ which I thought was a huge improvement, but this 24 feels like im driving a Cadilac. I havent gotten to go on any trails yet, but on pavement it is ridiculously smooth compared to my 19’. MSRP was 82k and I paid 78k + taxes. What really pushed me over was the factory rigid lights which saved me $1000ish, and factory Exhaust valves which saved me like $1400 as I fell in love with my Borla on my 19’. Also nice resetting mileage and starting over on factory warranty. The larger digital screens and heads up display make it a lot easier to read, and the new camera modes on that 12" screen is ridiculous.
For me, my 2019 had a sticker price of $72k, and I could easily see the $6,000 difference in the upgraded technology alone, not to mention the ride quality. I felt pretty satisfied with what I paid for the improvements I got.
Did the 19 have live valves? Orange ones? because mine has the same one that my 23 had
If you have a Gen 2, consider spending $3,000 on a Goosetuned Stage 2 kit with the custom TCM tune—it’ll make you fall in love with your truck all over again. I thought about upgrading to a Gen 3, but I couldn’t justify spending more for what’s essentially the same platform. Sure, the Gen 3 offers some refinements in suspension, exhaust, and interior, but I wasn’t convinced, especially with the current markups. Like many others, I still think the Gen 2 is the best-looking model. With the Goosetuned Stage 2 kit and custom TCM tune, I’m planning to keep mine for the long haul (currently at 41k miles).
Virtually the same platform? 
The 2nd is the best looking
What did they give on trade for the Gen 2 ?
