[QUOTE="Blk04L, post: 16352208, member: 48574"] So, I have a Gen 1 Raptor. The newer ones have better shocks, better acceleration, better tech*, lighter etc... The Gen 1 was nice and the Gen 2 is nicer. So, if you want a bigger vehicle that drives great, it's hard to go wrong with a Raptor, especially if your roads suck. That being said, it's slower, stock vs stock, versus a SRT D and it's a lot bigger than a Durango. If you have to go to the city a lot, it's doable, but some parking garages are short and some spots are compact. Quite the width difference between the two. I've seen some posts on the raptor forums from guys coming from cars/smaller SUVs that bought a Raptor cause it was cool but it was just too bulky for them. And then some that love the new found space. Durango also has a Vee8 and the Gen 2 sounds not as nice lol. I prefer the UConnect over the Sync, but that's just personal preference. Long term resale value has to go to the Gen 2. so, if it's a 2-3 year buy and replace then go with the Gen 2, unless the coil over Gen3/TRX knock it out of the park. Even then, with 4 years of Gen 2 Raptors out there the Gen 1 market hasn't really taken a hit. *Depending on what package you get. [/QUOTE]
