07 Psd?
Super Duty
For 2005 the "Super Duty" model was redesigned. These included a new grille, new interior, and factory installed trailer brake controller and upfitter switches. The engines were also upgraded, with the new 3 valve 5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10 putting out 300 and 362 horsepower, respectively. The Powerstroke Diesel was also modified, boosting torque from 560ft/lb to 570ft/lb, but horsepower stayed at 325.
The truck will be completely redesigned for 2007, along with the introduction of a new 6.4 L twin-turbo Power Stroke Diesel V8. The engine is said to produce 350 hp (260 kW) and 650 ft·lbf (880 N·m), beating both the General Motors Duramax V8 and DaimlerChrysler's Cummins ISB I6 on both power and torque.<SUP class=reference id=_ref-0>[1]</SUP>

There is a lot of bs on the 6.4 powerstroke thread. Nothing is for sure. But it sounds like it will be an 08 model. I think they are waiting on the release to avoid issues like the 6.0. I wouldnt call the 6.0 a letdown, they are very strong engines. My dads 04 has 85,000 miles on it, only been in the shop a couple times but nothing major.

Your baby (truck) never complains never argues with you never talks back( well maybe a little) never whines, I say go with the truck.....I know your delema I'm married so I know I don't have a lot of room to talk.
