Question First Time User

Hey all, Great forum! I'm just now starting to shop around for a 6.0 Super Duty 4x4 XLT for the first time and this forum has been very helpfull. I would however greatly appreciate some input on the following options before I make my final decision on the truck that I purchase.

2004 or 2005? I've read in this forum that Ford has made some significant improvments to the 05's but there are some great incentives for purchasing an 04' right now.

Super Cab or Crew Cab? I know that the Crew Cab has more space but I think the Super Cab looks better. Does the Super Cab have enough room for 3 average sized adults in the back seat. I'm upgrading from a 98' Tacoma so I'm sure that either will be a big improvement in space/room.

Thanks
