Nice truck but I must comment on how beautiful Utah is! What an amazing state, it is awe inspiring. Im from Florida, I love my beaches, but I could see myself living in Utah!
Very nice truck in great condition. I'd like to find one like that. There are much better aftermarket mirrors now for towing. The newer larger ones make visibility a lot better, when towing a big trailer (RV).
Hi Bwanar1, thank you, it is in really good condition. Yes, you are right on the aftermarket mirrors for towing. I like the bigger/better ones on the F 350 too. Thanks for your comment!
Nice looker!I bought one exactly like it brand new except mine is the v-10,it now has 125,000 miles on it but living in the Midwest the rockets need replaced,other than that it is in excellent condition ,it is still bone stock and I still love it.
Awesome video! I’m looking at a similar truck right now. My concern is it may be too big to daily drive. I have a vehicle for work but if I need to get groceries and what not. What are your thoughts?
@@IH3ARTSME The V10 is a fantastic engine. Earlier versions like the one you are looking at have to have special torque specs on the sparkplugs as the threads were to short and often stripped out. They have to be repaired with special tool and process. I like the engine and have a V10 in a 06 Flatbed with almost 300K and still running strong. I believe the 05 had fixed the sparkplug problem. I have seen plenty of miles on earlier versions. A good mechanic that is familiar(most are) with the problem can help you navigate it and get 250-300K+ out of the engines. Hope that helps. Thanks for the comment!
Those ficm needs good batteries all the time, never change 1 battery. If 1 is bad then replace both. 850 cold crankers. You also should be changing your oil every 3k and it wouldn’t hurt to replace the fuel filters at every oil change. If you can. As injectors are expensive
Hi Deepak, Blown head gaskets on 6.0s can come from several sources including those you have outlined. Starting with: Bad head bolt design... Too few.... Too far apart.... Too weak for the load put on stock studs. Once some of the basics known 6.0 issues are taken care starting with ARP Head Studs, New Gaskets, EGR Delete, etc. you are heading in the right direction. These motors once dialed in can be reliable and fun to drive. One other note: The 6.0s are especially sensitive to good clean oil. By design the oil quality drives Fuel pressure, injectors, etc etc. I recommend a good oil like Rotella T 6 Synthetic with no more than 5K between changes as a good long term insurance policy. Thanks for the comment!👍
Too bad FORD stopped production. The rumor was going around back in 2004-05 that sales were bad for the Excursion. GM, was smart with their merchandising putting that word out. The truth is Ford dealers sold everyone they had on the lot. Just think about it. If sales was so bad why are the Excursions so popular now over any GM suburban? Between GM advertising department and the little greenie folks that want us on horse and buggys got Fords weak spot and stopped the production. Love Ford trucks but Ford makes some very stupid decisions in their corporate meetings, they have trouble hearing the customer, stop listening to the greenies and the idiot politicians.
The 6.0 has 4 head bolts per cylinder the 7.3 has 5 head bolts per cylinder the 6.0 runs crazy boost pressure like near 30 7.3 around near 20psi. I dnt know what the engineer at international was thinking
Sophia, love the Pioneer touch screen deck with remote and integrated steering wheel controls. Also, gotta have that back up camera too with a beast this size!
Hi Jaxon, thanks for the sub and comment. Really appreciate that! I have several businesses including: heavy equipment, tax biz, parts biz, etc. Thanks again!👍
Awesome Ford Excursion SUV that has bigger brakes love Excursions it's very unfortunate when the Excursion models were discontinued
Best suv ever made! 🇺🇸🇺🇸
Yes it is!🤙 Thanks for the comment:)
@@RadDadToolbox was it full lifting?
@@Atila643 Hi, yes it is a full 6" lift. Thanks for the comment!

You got yourself an awesome Excursion! The cleanliness of yours makes mine look bad lol
The Hak Lab, bet yours is still nice! I mean what can compete? Thanks for the comment!🤙

Hi Mike, Utah is beautiful! Especially love where we live. Florida does have some beautiful beaches though! Thanks for the comment:)
Haha I thought you meant literally bulletproof, like a Secret Service SUV LOL! Nice ride tho!
Yea, I can see that and it is Black:) Thanks for the comment!

IT IS A BEAST. I have a 2004 Ford Excursion Limited. it is Pueblo Gold and is Gorgeous.

Hi Kelly, LOVE IT! The V-10 is a great engine. It has no Cam Phaser problems and can run well past 250K with good oil changes. Thanks for the comment!

Love the 2 tone Eddie Bauer seat leather. Am considering that color scheme when I swap out my worn parchment seat leather on my 05 limited.
Hi Anthony Kelly, Yea I like it! Thanks for the comment!🤙
beautiful excursion & great video man! i’m really hoping to find a clean excursion in the next year or so.
Hi The Jorba, thanks for that! Hope you can too. Appreciate the comment!🤙
@@RadDadToolbox what are your thoughts on 6.8 V10 Gas? I’m considering purchasing a 2003 excursion 235K miles

hi thanks for the video, what s the cruising speed on highway?
Love the split tailgate
Me too!:)
Boost auto mirrors, just put them on my 05. They are styled after the 2017 and up SD, a bit pricey but look awesome on the Excursion.
Hi Anthony, I think I have seen those. You're right they look good! Thanks for the comment!👍
Sooooooo, head gasket blown up by head bolt weakened or oil coolant screw up?

I want to ask how do you like the backup camera? I am thinking about getting one for my excursion
Definitely!!!

how much did you pay ?

Yea, too few of head bolts for sure. Thanks for the comment!
It's a 3/4 ton frame. Unless you up graded it and I have.
Thanks for the comment!🤙 Bet yours is nice!
Do you like the new radio system?
Sophia, love the Pioneer touch screen deck with remote and integrated steering wheel controls. Also, gotta have that back up camera too with a beast this size!
A bit excessive lift as for me. I'd drop it couple of inches
how much does these cars sell for/cost?
Something like the one I bought can run as much as $20-$30K. Thanks for the comment:)
I’m looking at Excursions right now!
Hope you find a great one! Not sure what you want to spend but I may consider letting mine go. Thanks for the comment!
WHY WONT FORD BRING BACK A 6.7L POWERSTROKE EXCURSION?
how many miles are on it? mine has 297K
Hi Sophia, mine as 102K, 2 owner. Thanks for sharing and appreciate the comment:)
I'm looking for one is it for sale if you still have it
Hi Eric, not selling currently. Thanks for watching!
Awesome Truck! And even better Trump impression!!! LOL
You need to clean your battery's and do some research. Where in Utah are you, it look's nice?
Yes I do! Wasatch Front in Utah. Thanks for the comment!
Nice truck, stock turbo not supporting 600 hp though. Take some degreaser to that engine bay 😎
You're right on the hp/stock turbo, but turned up it does well:) Thanks for the correction and your comment! 👍
@@RadDadToolbox check out KC Turbos, best in the game for drop in VGT chargers.
@@RossTimmons Will do! Thanks Ross:)

Did you buy this from Carizona?
