Yeah, the Lightning based on the old F-150 body style is carrying over for the '04 model year. Your buddy's could also be an '03 depending on when he bought it. There's really not much of a change from '03 to '04.

The '05 is probably gonna have a whole lot more grunt to compete with the Dodge Ram SRT-10 which comes with the powertrain and brakes of a Viper.
