What are the differences between the 03's and 04's

Just wondering what the differences were since I got an 04. Couldn't find an 03 like we wanted.

Everything AlbertaBear said, plus the inner-sides of the Laramie leather seat bottoms are now completely wrapped in leather and DC deleted (1) of the dash vents, so now there are only (4) dash vents. Other than that, very similar to the 2003s.
