[QUOTE="fit2btied, post: 39116, member: 6"] We looked over a King Ranch '04 model and a new Plain-Jane '05 model. The King Ranch version is some kind of nice but I'd be reluctant to use it as my farm truck! It didn't have a price sticker on it. We like the style changes on the '05 model with the new grill. The '05 was an F-250 Super Duty with the Powerstroke engine and an auto. transmission. It has the trailer brake controls factory installed - nice. With an Off-Road package and a few other amenities, it listed for just under $44K (more than I paid for the farm, but that was 23 years ago!). We also looked at a comparable Chevy that listed for just over $47K. Chevy had a $3500 rebate and Ford had $1500 on the '04s, but said the '05s were selling hot enough that the Company wasn't offering anything off them yet. One of our sons works at the Ford Assembly plant in Hazelwood, MO, so we can get the Ford A-Plan price. My father-in-law worked for GM at the Corvette plant in St. Louis until it closed and then transferred to the truck plant and retired when it closed. That qualifies us for General Motors' GMS price. Either one will knock about $6K off the sticker price but right now that's just more pain than I think I can take!
