Hello all,
I'm a long time lurker, I've been reading this forum for a long time. I originally was known as Limited Ultimate_Maybe., the reason for the moniker change is I have a 2002 Limited Ultimate No Boundaries V10 which I purchased new, this past Monday, I took delivery of a 2005 Limited Ultimate 6.0 PSD.
It's interesting the changes in the trucks., my observations so far...
The 2005 has a much heavier ride, I'm not sure if it's the added weight of the 6.0
The 2005 brakes are MUCH MUCH better.
The 2002 was offered with two tone leather AND the steering wheel controls, the 2005 was one or the other.
The 2005 handles much better, cornering.
I only have 110 miles on the 2005 so my observations are pretty limited so far.
Thanks for all the great information everyone has posted over the years.
Has anyone had their fog lights fill with water? I assume there must be a seal on the lenses that has leaked. The lights don't light up, but the fuse isn't blown. Thoughts?

Welcome to the Excursion forums there Double X 
Nothing like getting a new vehicle

The 2002's didn't come with a rear sway bar but the 2005's do,there's your increased handling quite possibly

Welcome,,
I had a 2000 v10 and now have a 2005 power stroke.
I agree with your observations. I have about 6500 miles now.
Good luck
Mark
