those extras usually do not have any significant impact on resale.
Why?
Its like a house with a pool. You actually shrink the number of potential buyers... thereby making it a buyers market... so you get less for your truck.
Besdies, you really dont have that much in the way of add-ons. Grill gaurd, an exhaust, an intake. Its not like there is a supercharger or anything like that.

With how Ford has been pricing the last year or two, there may be a LOT of
'05 and '06 model F150's that were sold for less than they otherwise should have sold for.
I see new trucks advertised at lower prices (or not so much more) than what I see late model used trucks listed for in Auto Trader, etc.
Eventually this could depress the prices in the used truck market, almost making it a "buyers" market, since there are so many F150's out there because they are so popular and they made/make so many of them.
$10-$12K off MSRP, and lots below "invoice" is nice when you want to buy a new truck, but it doesn't do much to "support" the resale prices of late model used trucks. I bet that many owners might have difficulty selling their truck for what they owe on it right now.
With gas prices causing sales to lag, I am not convinced that the Ford factory incentives are all done with as of 07/05.
All this considered, I am seriously thinking about waiting until after the '07's come out, then looking for a bargain in a nice low mileage '04 or an '05 with cash in hand...
I may be wrong, this is just one simple man's humble opinion...
