i own both generations (99 and 05) and love each of them for different reasons-

05:

power fold third row
two tone leather
IRS
3V motor

99:
armrests in the front seats
i actually like the leather surface better in the older one
fold down center console in second row


was your old truck a 4.6? if so, you did good. if not, personally, i would've picked up a 05+ for the 3V motor.
