Nope, 2002 V10 Limited 4x4. Iām not a diesel guy, LOVE my V10. Itās my 3rd one since buying by first at 19.is that a diesel excursion i see?
Well it needs a fair amount of work. I put a lift, bumpers and 315s on it, but it needs a valve job, and may need a head gasket. And paint. And leather. And AC. And a radio. Itās only really used for wheeling. Iām just sick of my fun vehicle always needing some sort of work. Tired of working on shit. Buying a Bronco and not looking back. I used to use the Excursion to tow my LC to the trails, so in case something on the LC broke, or blew up, I wasnāt stuck. Now Iāll just drive my Bronco to and from!Don't take this the wrong way because I really do mean it in a big brother, sincere loving way:
But, you're an idiot.

Again, please know that I'm saying this in a lookin out for you type of ting kinda way -- don't fkn do it mate.
whatever you do don't sell your excursion. one of my friends has a 2000 Ford F350 7.3 diesel and it's awesome. thing just keeps on goinWell it needs a fair amount of work.

Actually, and this is coming from someone who has made a living off Land Cruisers because I love them so much, between the two, the Excursion is the one that will be the hardest to give up. Itās been not just the best vehicle Ive ever purchased, but the best purchase Iāve ever purchased. Unbelievably reliable and durable. Still on factory injectors. Have only replaced 4 glow plugs and a power steering hose. Thatās it, in almost a quarter million miles. Iāve towed from Texas to Florida to DC. Original transmission, never had issues. Am about to tow another LC to a customer today. Everything works except a couple of door lock actuators. I get people asking to buy it weekly. I sincerely believe the 7.3L Excursion is the strongest and most reliable SUV ever built. The Excursion is the King of SUVs and the 7.3L Ex is the King of Kings.
Itās all kind of ironic actually because the Excursion itself is one sort of evolution of the Bronco. The Full size Bronco got turned into the 4 door version by Centurion the coach builder, then Ford did it themselves with the Excursion, but took away the removable roof when they did it.
Ive actually been trying to find a way to justify keeping the Excursion. Maybe I will price it so high nobody will pay!
