If you do alot of traffic I would do the Auto... The twin sticks is nice a Nice truck. But traffic and A 5 speed is not very fun... If you were anywhere out of the city I would say 03 all day long.

I would say the sonic blue, just because it's got less miles/ year. The red one has probly been driven a lot more, and to me that means a busy owner, that's probly too busy to take care of it. Could be wrong. Plus, twin sticks is a good thing. I'd make a lower offer on the newer one if you're gonna choose it.

Swoop while yes the manual transfer case is nice, the manual transmissions on these trucks suck, especially with any engine modifications. Before making a final choice though get the Vin find out where the '03 was made. If it was made in edison NJ go for it and have some upgrades made to the tranny. If not then go witht he '06 or keep looking. In case you forgot the Edison NJ plant had the highest initial build quality of all ford vehicle plants, before it was shut down.

Judging by the pictures alone, the blue one looks nicer.

I mean, anything can be "cleaned up" for pictures, but this looks really well maintained. I've heard back from the guy more often with the Blue one as well. He is the second owner, not sure of his age, but he knew what he was talking about when I tried to bluff him on the Level II jazz. He was like, "Uh, no. The Level II is blah blah blah." Sounds like he was into the truck. He just wants a 150 or larger.
Here are the other pics: It looks clean, ya know? Planning on seeing it on Saturday. I knew my truck inside and out -- but is there anything I should look for?

03 for twin sticks and the blue, very sexy.
06 for interior.
personally i wanted to drive a 4.0 with a stick and an auto.
the saying of "being more connected with a stick." bs the stick feels like garbage in that truck. you cant hear the revs and cant feel much in the stick. plus the shifts are long and kinda weak feeling when your in the gear. then i found out about the plastic internal slave on the manuals... nuff said there
personanly i love the autos. yes they are not the best for super power, but in all honesty im not a hardcore wheeler in it, im rarly towing. and i feel more connected in an auto in this truck. btw this in IMO so if you dont like it i kindly invite you to gtfo! =)
if i could have a pipe dream in the ranger department it would be a level II and it would be sonic blue and it would be an 06 and it would have an auto. plus a the orw/fox set up on sl suspesoin and a 3"bl on 35's.... like i said pipe dream! lol
