04 vs 05 quietness

took the service manager for ride the other day to show him the steering nibble in my 04 screw xlt4x4. he suggested we drive another truck to compare with.he grabbed an 05 screw lariat 4x4. during the ride he commented that my truck
seemed quieter inside than the 05 i agreed as we drove the same route with both trucks. the 05 steering nibble was worse than mine.he's going to call the ford rep so i'm waiting for the day.

that's very possible. i believe ford removed some underhood and tunnel insulation on all 05 models, all except for the FX4 and Lariat. bean counters at work again.

that seems to be a problem with some lariats, thats why I choose an FX4, they have a tougher suspension, making it a tougher off-road vehicle. I think thats why most FX4 supercrews have less problems.. but what do i know
