New truck
Well I traded in my old 2000 and bought a new 2005 xlt reg cab 4x2 with the 5.4 V8. I can't believe the night and day differences between my old one and the new one.

I have an '05 4x2 Standard Cab Shortbox that is set-up with the 5.4 engine and a 3.73 Limited Slip rear end.
I recently had to borrow a co-workers '01 4x2 Super Cab Long Box with the 5.4 and was amazed at how much quicker that old truck was!
Kind of made me wish I had bought one of the last of the old body style trucks for all the extra uumph!

I'm in a similar situation as you... a week ago we traded in our '97 Expy for an '06 Super Crew. If that wasn't enough of a change we went from an XLT (Expy) to a Lariat. It's nice to see how the other half has been living 
I could get really used to the leather, heated seats, climate control, etc....
Congrats and enjoy your new truck.

Congrats!!
I know what you mean. I had a 1995 Eddie Bauer F150 Scab 5.8 and loved it. Then I bought my 2000 F150 Scab 5.4 and thought it was night and day. Not taking anything away from my '95, but the 2000 was so much nicer drive. Then I bought my 2004 Screw and it was night and day from my 2000. Ford trucks just keep getting better.
