YearBody/PowertrainComment
2004 4dr Extended Cab 6.5ft bed 300-horsepower 5.4L V8

2004 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
4-speed automatic RWD		 not as advertised
2004 4dr Crew Cab 5.5ft bed 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
4-speed automatic RWD		 Not too bad, but wish it was better than 17 mpg
2004 4dr Regular Cab 6.5ft bed 300-horsepower 5.4L V8
4-speed automatic 4WD, part-time w/low range		 13 MPG overall and and around 18 on the interstate on a good day.
