Ford ExcursionIn 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.
I'm interested in a 2WD 7.3L Powerstroke Excursion. We need a bigger vehicle for the family and I like the better gas mileage of the diesel engines and long term reliability. My wife will primarily be driving it around town and we will take it on trips. I wondered what you all think of driving an Excursion for these purposes. My main goal is to get a larger vehicle that can handle 6-8 people and still have plenty of storage room. Reliability is also very important to me. I usually buy Toyota for this reason but I don't think the Sequoia has enough storage room. Sequoia's are also expensive. Have the 7.3L owners found them to be reliable?
