Ford Excursion In terms of size, the Ford Excursion is the king of big sport-utilities. Supremely stable at speed, it feels safe and secure on the open highway. Whether you have a lot of cargo to carry, a bunch of people to transport, a big trailer to pull, or all of the above, the Excursion is ready for whatever you throw its way. It can tow up to 11,000 pounds and seat 8-9.

Default Can towing capacity be increased for the Excursion?
I have an 05 Excursion with the 6.0 powerstroke. The hitch receiver is rated for 12,500 pounds but the Excursion is only rated to pull 11,000 pounds. Does anyone know why the Excursion is rated for 11, 000 pounds while the standard F-250 is rated for 12, 500 pounds. Is there any way to increase the towing capacity?

There is no way to increase tow capacity, unless you can figure out how to lighten your Excursion by 1,150 lbs !

If your Exhaust tip is bigger than your cylinder bore, you are a Ricer!
