Nope. Gen 1 to gen 3 mechanicals the same except for tranny. Pick the year and color and features that have value to you beyond that.Bumping this thread as I'm on the fence of trading my truck (13 Raptor) for a LX and mulling over a '14-15 v a '16-17.
Mechanically they're almost the same, transmission aside for the 16+.
Interior of the 16+ looks to be substantially more refined (at least aesthetically).
Aftermarket support for 15- is larger, and they seem to be able to share more of it with the LC.
Haven't gotten around to driving either yet given the social-distancing situation, but keeping a close eye on the market. Will be using truck mostly to haul the family (wife + kid) and dogs (2x100lb pups) around, hiking trips, occasional off-road trips, and the typical Costco/Home Depot runs. Def want the DVD player for the kiddo and road trips.
I like the looks of 16+ and interior finish, but at same time the 15- looks more proper as an off-road vehicle on 17" wheels and 33/34 tires. Seems I get the same capacity, while saving $15k+
Am I missing something?
