F150 Question - Deciding Between Two

Thanks for the feedback so far. A few more points. Wtth a busy family we will only be camping about 4 times per year traveling at the most 150miles one way. The reason I am looking half ton is that this vehicle is going to be my daily driver (15 Mile commute) and I am weighing the 95% I am going to use it more than the 5%. This forum is generally unbiased and full of truck guys and that is why I came here. At the moment the 05 is a little more appealing because of the warranty and price as I will be taking out a loan on approx half the cost of either vehicle. It's nice to have a warranty if you are paying on something (my opinion)...
The TT we are looking at is a Pilgrim Cirrus 28' quad bunk. Hitch weight of approx 540lbs and a dry weight of 5200 - I would add about 1600lbs to that total ready to camp....
I like the look of the 2010 a litte more and understand the 6 speed. Even having 30K more miles...if it's really that much better I will consider taking a harder look.....I just seem to be leaning more towards the 05 right now.
Another thing to consider is the 2010 is the new generation F150 with a lot of improvements, not just the 6 speed trans. Either one will pull your trailer.
