'04 vs. '05

[PCR]

I might have the opportunity to trade in my '04 SLT and get a '05 Laramie. I've been very happy with the '04, but have regretted not getting the Laramie. Am I better off sticking with the '04 with the 555 motor? Are there any disadvantages in going to the '05?

Differences.

Here is what I know is different.



The '05 come with 325HP and 610# torque. Also, the lift pump is in the tank instead of on the side of the motor. Also, I think the compressor side of the turbo is a little bigger for more air flow. I love mine so far.



Also, coming is a new 6 speed manual (no more NV5600). I love my NV5600 for towing. This truck is a towing machine!
