2004 or 2005 Explorer?

[elvis999]

I just bought a 2004 Explorer XLT and had a CARFAX done on it. Everything
checked out fine, but when I brought it home, I noticed the CARFAX said
2005. The VIN numbers are right but I don't have the title yet. How can I
determine if this is a 2004 or 2005?

thanks,

Elvis

Thanks a lot, looks like I just bought a 2005 at a 2004 price. Cool!!!
