I really think they did a great job with the 2004 Model 250 but the Interior that I have (LariatTrim) would of been nice to have that F350 interior .
The exterior on 2004 Models look great Still so I'm not mad at 2010 owners that have that F Harley Edition ....I'm just wishing I came into some dough to get 1

I voted 1st generation because that is what is in my driveway and I am in LOVE with my truck! Just ask my wife.

I like all the SD's but must admit that when the 2011's came out I hated the [=] grille. I gladly ate humble pie by the shovel full when I saw this 2011:



I think the color keyed grille surround really helps tone down the grille. If I ever win the lottery I will have the twin to that truck in my driveway.

LOL sorry I tend to confuse myself sometimes. I have a 99 SD and did the 05-07 front end swap on it(grille, bumper, header panel, lights, etc).

Never noticed this until now!!! Always thought the 08-10 looked really different in the front end than the previous and current one and this is probably why. I agree with you but I'll stick with the 08............for now

I like the 99-04 best, but the 05-07 is not all that bad.

It seems that people mostly like the one they already own

The poll should have had a cut between 04 and 05

I like the somewhat rounded nose and grill of the 99-04, one the grill went to that "billet" look, and later from 2008-up it went overboard.

Gonna need a new grill myself soon, the chrome is getting fugly.

The differences from '99-'12 are so subtle that you have to look close to tell the difference. So I don't really see the point in choosing a best. I voted for the '11, because the colors available are really good, and they are mostly still nice and shiny.

I like the look of the original mirrors the best, even though they are less functional.

I don't like the huge embossed SD letters that started in '08.

I don't like that stupid B-20 green leaf thing they put on the '11 diesel.

Never cared for the '99-04 grilles.

Just small things to like and dislike about each.

Just to show I’m open minded I’m really digging that all red, painted front grill look. Very tuff yet sexy!! Gotta say after looking at your photo album you definitely Love that truck!!!!!!! I don’t have that many pictures of my kids.

You feeling ok Bill? I'm pretty sure Stevie Wonder could tell the difference in the 99 grilles and the new 11s... if only from the amount of sunlight reflected melting his sunglasses.

I agree about nitpicking small things to not like, at the end of the day, at least there isn't a bowtie anywhere on any of them.

LOL, I guess subtle isn't the right word. But, what if you can't see the grille? Then it is just badges, or in later years the tailgate. And I see a lot of late model tailgates on earlier trucks.

Point is, except for tailgates and hoods, all the sheet metal interchanges '99 to '10. What other brand can say that?

My favorite style feature on the Superduty is the low swept window openings.

the only thing i wish were different on the 08-10's is if the grill was flush all around and not sunk in in between the nostrils......i hate the creases on the 2011's......

I have a 2007, ipso facto, it is the best
Agreed on both counts.

Without a doubt.
