What's new for 05

Has anyone heard, or have any info about any changes for 05? I am hoping that Ford will offer the 5 speed auto, as well as a few styling additions to make the new truck a little more stylish. Maybe some chrome door handles, and handle escutcheons, or backing plates, or whatever the ugly black things are behind the door handles. I think that the 04 has the best looking interior of anything on the road, but the exterior is lacking a bit in my opinion. Still better than the competition, but lacking.

I certainly wouldn't count on any chrome door handles, etc. Such exterior details are just not profitable for them to mess with. They leave that to the aftermarket guys.

I know a lot of folks would like to see a manual option again. This is definitely something Ford has to be considering. According to this web page, they do plan on offering a manual tranny and a 4.2 V6.

They'll be offering a King Ranch SuperCrew.

That's all the info I could find at the moment.
