Need Advice!
I am looking at trading my 04 in for a 06 King Ranch 250. I drove this truck and it seemed like half the engine in my 04. Why is this? Is it the added comfort or was some thing wrong with this truck?

i dont know about half the truck but i traded from an 04 sport package to an 05 king ranch. and the 04 had a little more pep at 20000 miles the 05 has about 8500 miles and she is realy waking up.

Maybe the new one's engine just isn't broken in at all. I did make comment to several around here that when I went from my slightly built 460 to the 04' 6.0, I had reservations. The new at the time 04' didn't seem to have any giddy-up. Now that things are broken in, there's plenty.
But, if you have reservations about that truck, then I'd go drive a different new one to compare. Heck, Drive several !!!!
Trust your gut.

I had just the opposite experience, I just bought a '06 and it seems to have more power than my '04 did, course neither truck is broken in. the '04 had 8k on it and the new one has 38 or so. but for me the new one seems to have more low end power than my 04
