Interesting that the article shows a 2005 Yellow truck - when the 2005 ordering guide does NOT list yellow as an exterior color option???

Is it true the 2005's are going to coil sproing suspension in front? Is Ford droping the one piece axle, or are they going to the independant front suspension like chevy?

Ford is keeping the solid front axle for the 4x4 trucks. The only difference is they will have coil springs instead of leaf springs. Not really that big of a difference.

ON the gas engines yes the ride will be softer. ON the diesel i dont think so because the spring rate will be too high to have a soft ride.
