 Bought a F250 Crew SB 4x4 in 9/04.  Since 4/05; replaced front hubs (not releasing), replaced whole transmission even after recall fix was made 2 months earlier.  Now in shop for engine problems, no power & thick black smoke. The 2004 has POOR turning radius, 2005 is smaller.  Dealer has been great, but I think I got a LEMON!  The diesel has the power but my unit does not instill confidence on a long trip. I've just been lucky my major part failures happened close to home.  I used to trust Ford and recommend Ford, but not anymore.
