Looking for a truck in the next year or so which year is good to get should i get a older 99-01 or a newer 03-05? What should i look out when buying one and what should i look for.

you'll get mixed opinions. Most will say for reliability and raw towing power, get the 7.3. Others will say for mileage and speed get the 6.0

I love my 7.3, but often grow mad that 6.0's can so easily slap us around w/ minimal mods. Not that I've raced any 6.0's though

True i really like the look of the 99-04s just dont know if i want that old of a truck being one will be around 10 yrs old but the 04 should only be like 6yrs

I honestly dont care my truck is a '99. My truck gets better mileage than most cars, or any suv/truck on the road, will last longer than a newer car, and has better resale than any lexus, bmw, mercedes etc. So age isn't an issue with me. Drive them both and decide. Thats the best I can say.
