For any of you who have previously owned the previous style of Ford F250/350 trucks (1994-97) and now own the new style (1999 and up), do you feel that there are noticeable and worthwhile improvements to the ride, handling, braking, and/or fuel economy, or are they mostly a cosmetic improvement?

Our first Ford diesel was an 85 3/4 ton. Our latest a Power Stroke Diesel 1 ton. No comparison. The old one was comfortable but I nearly had to unload horses and push the truck up steep hills. The new one takes steep hills at 70 mph towing a heavy camper and loaded 3 horse trailer. I barely even have to gear down.
