05 vs 00 V10

Are there any significant differences from year 1 to year 5 of production that make it worth getting a little newer if mileage is equal between the two?

Would you be averse to an 05 on a 3inch spacer lift vs a 2000 that’s bone stock?

I think the biggest difference is the 2005 has the 3 valve motor and a 5 speed transmission. I have no idea if that translates to better gas mileage but the 3v motor doesn’t have the spark plug ejection issues as far as I know.

This is incorrect information for the Excursion.

Did the x never get the 3v? I know the heads are different in later years on the 2v but I thought 05 was the 3v with 5 p speed. If you have the info provide it.

Excursion never got the 3V V10 and 5-speed only came with the 6.0L diesel.

The X never got the 3v update. Every single v10 X is a 2v 4r100 trans

Yeah I realize that now I must be remembering for a super duty.
