Which year to get?

Looking into getting the wife an expedition. I'm torn between 2. One is a 04 with 57k miles and the other is an 03 with 47k. And there is a third 05 that we don't have alot of info on with 29k. The 03 and 04 are wedgewood blue with the eddie bauer package, we're not sure about the 05. My main question is there a major difference in the different year models. Thanks for your help guys.

I would go with the 04 or 05. 2003 was a new model year and they tend to have had more problems than others. Also 04 was the first year for the 3V 5.4 which is a more powerful motor.

I don't think there is a major difference between the years of 04 and 05. Eddie Bauer one is loaded to the gills with stuff so it is going to be a real nice truck. Have fun with it.

I thought the 05 Expedition had the new 3 v engine. Because the expedition was a year behind the F150 in engine upgrades. Plus I have an 04 and it has the old 2v 5.4. Just Wondering
