A dealer has a left over new 2005 Toreador Red Supercrew Lariat 4x4 which stickers for $39,900. They are selling it for $25,900.

I wondering if there are enough differences pick up a 2006 instead?

 

I would grab it right now!!! for that price unless you prefer the round fogs of the 06 model which i dont. Good luck either way.

 

I'm probably wrong, but I believe the big difference is just the fog lights...2005 rectangle, 2006 round...but I'm sure some others here know of more differences..

If that is the truck you are looking for, I'd go for the '05..

Don't forget that the '06 comes with a 6.5ft bed option.

I'd go with the cheaper note.

 

It would be hard to pass on that price if you like the truck.

 

BUY THE '05 - That's an awesome deal!

 

I like the 6.5' bed on the '06 Supercrews, so if I had to get a s'crew I'd get an '06.

 

I also like the 6.5' beds, but it would be at least a $10-$12000 increase to get that.

 

2006 Charting the Changes — Ford

Ford
October 2005

The '05 Mustang has been such a hit that Ford told dealers to stop taking orders for it in June. For '06, there's a Pony package, which gives V-6 Mustangs something of a GT look and feel. The actual GT supercar will offer a limited-edition model to commemorate Ford's one-two-three Le Mans sweep in 1966. More important for Ford is the Fusion, which replaces the Taurus (still to be built for the time being) and, with a starting price of $17,995, represents the company's bid to recapture a chunk of the high-volume mid-size-sedan segment. The Fusion uses a Mazda 6-based platform that's shared with the Lincoln Zephyr and Mercury Milan and as many as seven future Ford vehicles.

Unchanged: Crown Victoria, Five Hundred, Focus, Taurus.

Dead: Thunderbird.

Future: Accelerated redesign schedule to make the Five Hundred less bland. Fusion hybrid in 2008.

On the truck side, the F-150 gets a Harley-Davidson trim package with a "menacing monotone black exterior," expanded availability of 20-inch wheels, and a new configuration—a four-door SuperCab with a 6.5-foot-long cargo box. The Ranger gets a "more aggressive" look and expanded choices of options packages and powertrains. The Explorer gets a substantial redesign. E-series vans will come standard with Roll Stability Control on 12-and 15-passenger models.

Unchanged: Escape, Escape hybrid, Expedition, F-250 and F-350 Super Duty, Freestar, Freestyle.

Dead: Explorer Sport Trac, Excursion.

Future: SVT Sport Trac hot-rod sport-utility truck with four-wheel independent suspension on Explorer platform, in 2007.

 

Get that truck or tell me where it is and I will get it.

 

No good reason to get the '06 other than the third year of a model run is when they get most of the bugs worked out. My '06 has been absolutely flawless thus far (almost 5k). The '05s seem to have many of the '04 bugs (from what I've read here).

 

If you are going to keep the truck for a long time buy the 05. If you are planning to trade in a couple of years spring for the 06. remember with the 05 you already lost 1 years value right off the line. If you only keep a truck for 2 or 3 years like me you better go for the 06.

 

Would go for the '05 if you are OK with that color.

I know alot of people dont like the DT Red color for some reason. I think it looks fine, better than the standard bland red color you see on most F150's

 

Annnndd whats wrong with that? LOL......
