I've been wanting an Excursion for some time, nearly bought a V10 truck but things changed and I bought a commuter car instead (thank god). Now I'm back in the Excursion market and I want a diesel for the obvious power and mileage over the V10 options.
I'm going to go look at this truck this weekend- I've done my research and I originally wanted a 05' truck due to the improvements made but my other option was to find something that has had work done to it, and the right work done to it.
Enter the local truck - better optioned and conditioned than what I've seen so far looking online and a meticulous owner as well.
178,000 Miles
78,000 miles on Motor installed by Ford. Runs and Drives great! Best mileage 23mpg… averages 18mpg. EGR delete kit, Remote start, on-board battery charger, '05 grill. Rear bucket seats, rear entertainment system, It's been a great vehicle. I just spent many thousands of dollars making this thing rock solid for another 10 years. Wife wants something new...
New Parts as of 6,000 miles ago, all genuine FORD unless noted:
EGR delete - Sinister Diesel
CAM sensor
Crank Sensor
FICM
HOT glow plugs
HPOP
ICP sensor
IPR
Water Pump
Serpentine Belt
Alternator
Two Batteries
CAM sensor
Crank Sensor
FICM
Front wheel bearings
Front inner axle seals
Outer axle seals
Ball joints
Warn Premium manual lockouts
New brakes all around - Ceramic Pads and new rotors
Brand new tires
Religious 3,000 mile oil changes - FORD filters ONLY
Fuel filters
Remote starter
It will need:
Driver side window motor is going out. Still works but will need replaced soon.
Rear Bumper needs paint
My thoughts:
I'll find out what dealer, I know people at two different huge local dealers around here so I'm not worried about the work - his wife drives this. Its got the 2nd row captains which I want and it looks to be in really nice shape. He is going to put it on a 2 post lift for me to look at the bottom too. I've got a good feeling about this.
I think I can get is for around 13k.
What do you guys think? I'm going to get gauges for it if they are not already there, but I'm thinking so with the mods done with the EGR system.
