Alberta-SRT said:It's all relative, some say the 05's have better brakes, but my 04 will put you thru the windshield if you aren't paying attention. Plus brake pads are easy and cheap to change to carbon metallics on an 04. A lot of 05 owners complain about brake noise. The 05's might be easier to drive with the 4:56 gearing but the 04's will get better gas mileage if that matters to you. All 04's came with polished wheels which was an option in 05 even though I have never seen any that were not polished. 05's also have a resonator in the exhaust so most owners change it. With an 04 you can also actually find out your build number.
06's are OK (Except for those hideous headlights) but I like the interior of the earlier years better. The mineral grey and the inferno red are nice colors not available in prior years.
But as I said, it's all relative and everyone will have their own opinion.
Right along all my thoughts as well. Love my 04, first year truck, brakes are awesome, mileage better, I can already burn the tires off with the 4:10s, etc...
But really, you can't go wrong with either an 04 or 05.
