05 F250

Has anyone heard if any or what changes would be implemented for the 05 250? I am wondering how long it will be before they integrate some of the 04 150 features such as interior. Please site your source when replying.

Plan on a new dash and a coil spring on the front axle. Do a google search for pictures and links.

I heard that the 6.0 is getting upgraded this fall to an unGodly torque rating.

I heard the same thing about the motor but I really don't see where it is needed after having my new one. The front springs are supposed to be different, the grill of course is changed slightly, and the dash is different. I actually like the dash on the 04 better than the pictures I've seen of the 05 so I went ahead and bought the 04.

The reason that they need to upgrade the 6.0 is because they currently offer the lowest torque of any of the big three manufacturers. I'm still a Ford man, though, always have been, always will be.

According to the forum at Blue Oval, the new 5.4 V8 is scheduled to be added. Also, the V10 is scheduled for the same makeover that the 5.4 got in the F150. New grill, dashboard, pretty much what is said by others in the thread. I expect that the addition of the new 5.4 V8 will also impact on the GVWR of the truck and the trailer tow/fifth wheel rating as well.
