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)....
Don't let the warranty play that much of a role in your decision. Since it's a power train warranty, those only cover the internally lubricated parts (crankshaft, camshaft, etc) and is very limited in scope. It WILL NOT cover the things that are attached to the motor such as the A/C, alternator, etc.
You can get a decent warranty that will cover more components, just be diligent and check customer reviews. Normally I go with a Ford warranty, but my last Ford truck was bought used at a Toyota dealership. It is a CNA insurance policy, so hopefully I wont have any problems if I ever have to use it
