I've heard the '05 Super Duty is getting a mild makeover. I've even seen a couple spy pictures. The front end was hard to see but there was a picture of the interior.
I assume the changes will carry over to the X but does anybody know for sure?
If you know of any other changes for the '05 Super Duty / X speak up!
TIA |

Supposedly the Ex is only getting a minor exterior refresh and will have an 18" wheel option. They appearently aren't giving the Ex. much change.

They must be selling every one they make and don't feel the need to change it...
I know I see a LOT more of them running around DFW than b4...
and besides - I don't want them to make them any better and give me a reason to go look at a newer model

Egad!! Not as bad as the Dodge 20" stock wheels on their pickups but can anyonw here say "bling-bling"? Also, they MUST upgrade the brakes to go to 18" wheels, ya think?

If ford carries over the front end body changes to the EX, its going to be one ugly beast.

It appears that body desighn is going back to the box style vs the round style we see today.
There are a few examples on the ford lot just downt the street from where I live and they are UGLY>
It looks like they are trying to make them look more "TRUCK" like but with little success.
