So it mosly is cosmetic with the new body style for the 08's +/-. No mechanical benefit? Much appreciated
This should expand my search then, and Ill just keep the 06-07's in my searches.
Actually, the changes were more than just cosmetic. Ford improved the front end to raise the axle rating, allowing a higher GVWR, while also making it longer lasting. There were also some changes to the brakes resulting in shorter stopping, and better control from 4-channel ABS.
