So I have a 2022 loaded and I love that truck very much. I recently got a 2025 with the V8 and this thing is loaded sunroof, full stereo system ,V8 , 402 a package bumpers tailgate all that fun stuff but I’m having a hard time between the two I find myself driving my 22 more than my 25.
I work for a mining company, and fly drones for a living, my truck and I go into all type mining operations from rock Quarry‘s with super steep trails and roads to all the way out in the Sand dunes and my 22 goes through all-terrain like no one‘s business. Those turbos do their job. I honestly feel that the 3.5 does way better in this environment. The V8 is fun cause you hear the growl. It does have great power but not like the 3.5. In my opinion.
They did take a lot of nice stuff away from the truck interior I don’t feel it’s near as nice,
I’ve got 135,000 on one and 10,000 on the other One thing that does get me annoyed with the 25 is that it has brake checked me three times when I was doing over 75. So now I find myself turning off the assisted driving when I ended up purchasing a blue Cruz package.
Yes, the new one smells nice and brand new inside.
but I choose the 22 with the 3.5 .
