What I want to know is if the front bumper would fit up to my truck, I actually like that front bumper a LOT better than what we have right now.

The engine won't have MDS (complicated to do with SOHC, easy with pushrods), and probably only get's a mpg better (maybe). It'll be hard to tell, since I think the F/E ratings change for '08. Power would definately be nice.

I'm not sold on the dash - if you look close, that big hole on the RH side has very little useable storage. I would like the 2din radio face, though, so I can upgrade easy. The center console looks better, anything should be since the current one was designed for '97. Love the standard remote start! Front end is OK, like Frenchy I'd like to put that bumper on my truck.

wow...i like it. i definitely like the looks. the interior upgrade seems modest, but there's some good additions. i love the fact that a remote starter is standard...shame i just got my 06...i can't...or shouldn't, anyway...get anything new 'til this one's paid off.

what we really need is the rear sliding window to be power operated. saw one on a ford, idk if it came like that, or if it was a modification, but it was nice

I like the bumper too. I'm not so sure about the grill. I like our grill a little bit better. It's more open on ours than it is on that one.
