First my 95 does drive very nice. Its a one ton with a Scotty 25 foot class c motor home. It has 39,000 on It now and MY 2004 has 3500 miles both are 2 wheel drive. This was the first trip pulling a car trailer with the 04 and what a dream. drives like a Cadillac as one says. The 04 has a little more power but not much more. The ride Is better and also the steering better. The 04 Is a better truck but not by much. The 17inch tires help I would say. Would like to try them on my 95. My 04 Is 6 speed standard and my 95 Is automatic which works well. I like the automatic trans. The 6 speed shift hard and I mean hard. went back to dealer and no help. They can't fix anything. I have desided to change oil every 5000 miles WITH Rotella 15w40. Any commets let me know what you think
