    I never had a first gen but I love my third gen. People complain about stuff on them but those are just the ones who got a bad draw on the truck they drove off the lot

    Well I have Hungry eyes for the 3rd generation and I am dealing again. They offer me 9,000 for my 1 generation but it is so hard to let it go.

    Keep it and take a bigger loan if you can then? You’d have a dedicated offroad truck

    Test drive the hell out of it. Most folks with issues are with the auto.

    No regrets here, had a 07 loved that truck, but someone loved it more and stole it. So with the insurance money got a 17. It's no 4.0 engine but it's definitely got a little more style.
