When Will the 05's Arrive?

Or have they already?

I ask because I've noticed OODLES of them around Louisville being 'road tested'.

With the exception of the obvious front-end cosmetic changes, I noted that they have different fender badges/tailgate badge (like the F-150 badge). Still haven't had a good chance to go over it with a fine-tooth comb though....

Some have already hit the dealerships a few weeks ago.

I saw one yesterday at a local dealership. It was a white, crew cab, Powerstroke 4x2. The new grill looks better in person.

Hey, I saw one the other day here in TX. It was white 4x2 and it looks sweet, especially when it's on the road. Nothing like a new Powerstroke!

The 05's have arrived in Savannah, GA. They sure are sweet. Local dealer has about 5. Three of them have the V10, the others have the 5.4L. No diesels. The price for the 4X4's is about $43,000.00

On my daily commute this morning I spotted a F250. While doing so I paused and let off the gas, stared, and dropped my jaw (aka payed my respects) lol... It was a supercrew, and kind of greenish. I thought it might have been a KR 250 but I noticed it had a F250 badge but it was the same style of a 2004 F150 badge. I am assuming these are 2005's, are they??

Oh, and, it still had the window sticker on it!!!!

Yep, those are the 2005's. Same type of badging as the new F-150... My Dealership has a couple Harley trucks 2005. Black, none yet with the flames though...The grilles are awesome!

I saw my first 2005 King Ranch today on a lot in Missoula Montana. It was painted in the new DARK COPPER color. Pretty slick...

It has a $1,500 'market adjustment' tagged to it. Darn stealerships! That brought the total to a mere $52K... OUCH!
