It was a 2004... It could of been the old body style (Heritage) or the new body style... The quoted report doesn't specify.

 

Agreed, since the cruise control system on the new bodystyle trucks is NOTHING like the old one, I doubt this was a new one.

 

That must've been an '04 Heritage, the system used on the new bodystyle is completely different as was already mentioned.

So there is no misunderstanding I am agreeing with you.

 

The new cruise control is computer operated.
