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 2004 excursion 6.0L Diesel power chip

I just purchased the above vehicle and am intersted in getting better gas mileage with it. I dont have it in my possession yet but will in 2 weeks.
The previous owner tells me he gets 16 to the gallon if he drives 60mph. What can I do to get better gas mileage with this vehicle?
I assume that a power chip can help. He tells me he has a buddy with the same vehicle with a chip and it gets 28 mph. I need to ask him what chip that is, but in the meantime, I would welcome suggestions from any one you experienced excursion officionados.....
thanks

I would also like to know when you find out or others that have done it. I'm also looking at the same above vehicle.
