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 What to do, what to do...

Hello Ladies and Gents,
I'm sure this may stir up some controversy, but I've talked myself into getting rid of my 2005 Duramax truck and switching over to an Excursion to better suit the family. So here's the big question: What year do I get? It's gotta be a Diesel, 4x4, and either Eddie Baur or Limited, but which year and which engine? I also really want the quad captains seats and DVD system - is this easy (and worthwhile) to retrofit, or should I hold out for one factory equipped like I want? I have read a ton of good and bad about the 6.0 and the 7.3, but I need facts. I guess either way, I should steer away from the early 6.0's engines (late 2003 and early 2004) and the 2001 transmissions unless the diode has been replaced? Also, I have pretty great power (and mileage) from my duramax and I'd like to make sure the new one is close to the same. I'm not (for once in my life) concerned about initial purchase price - I just want to get the best, most reliable and fairly easy to modify, yet still be reliable year. And I'll be trying to purchase one with about 40-80k miles on it. Please help, and thanks in advance!
