03 and up are the best years for the V10's. 05 and up has more power and a better auto trans. The trucks you really have be careful which years you buy are the diesels!

I have one, 97-99 had the least power.
I love mine but I would go with a 2000 or newer for the higher output( Ford called them "PI") heads.

The 6 speed stick is the way to go, IMO.
