WOW, the whole ridgline thing scared me But seriously I drove my buddies '05 F-150, and although I haven't driven a diesel superduty yet, the '05 F-150 is the nicest truck I have ever driven. I may be biased but I truly think that the '05 F-150 is much better than the '04 chevy that my dad owns. Both trucks are loaded and I got to go with the Ford. Can't the Ford haul more anyway? While your at it why not a Lincoln Mark LT
