when I used to sell cars had a guy trade one of these in for a 4 runner! the Excursion was sold in under 10 days! that 7.3 is a great engine! these trucks are well loved, there is nothing like them made today.
Bought a V10 version in 2000. We had 5 kids and this could hold everyone and lots of luggage. Great for traveling. Still have it! Very powerful, reliable and so roomy.
@markasread4349 We never had any major engine or transmission repairs needed. Replaced the rear end after many miles. We had well over 200,000 miles on it. The only issue that I couldn't resolve was it kept draining the battery, so I traded it in. This occurred in the last year, but was fine until then.

It actually sucks because most people tend to fixate on, and pace (drive next to), large vehicles. If I had a dollar for every time some inattentive asshat went out of their way to camp out in my blind spot I could've got my Bulletproof Diesel mods for free.
psygnale My grandfather's '95 F350 attracted the same sort of followers. I think they figured that, in the event of a crash, they could take shelter behind the massive scrap truck. Of course "boy, there sure was a lot of speed bumps on the road today" pretty well summed up his attitude and he'd just change lanes regardless. We've all wanted to do that, I think...
Man, I remember you way back at around 100k subscribers, think you still had a full time job at a car dealership. Now look at you, all these cars, money, big house, garage and almost 1 million subscribers. You made it man, I knew you would, keep pushing, you deserve it.
Andrew Butler we had one for work and some idiot filled it up with gas TWICE! We drained the tank each time, filled it up with diesel and it ran like a champ. That thing truly is bullet proof.
I grew up with one of these, it was a 2000 limited trim with the v10, and that thing in a word was awesome. Took a road trip in it from maryland to montana and it averaged maybe 12 mpg and with a 45 gallon feul tank the old f250 station wagon, as i like to call it, wasnt exactly ecinomical. But boy was it comfortable and fun
I’ve been waiting for the Excursion to catch your eye Hoovie. I’ve owned my 7.3 Excursion SuperDuty for over a decade. Little over 400,000 on the clock. Doing a turbo swap on it as it’s still more valuable than my other cars combined lol.
@@JTBCOOL1 GT38, or wicked wheel upgrade, or do something custom. I'm going custom: polished and upgraded Garrett. Best part is you don't need a massive lift, just a step ladder to get yourself up on top of the motor, the swap is doable yourself. Unhook the Y-pipe/splitter and get the turbo free of the pedestal and inlet/outlet. Replace the seals and pop the swap on. Easy like pie. Easier if you have two people to remove the hood for better access.
You should do a vlog about your truck Jeremy. I get excited every time I see one of these Excursions on the road. Surprisingly there are still quite a few of these on the road here in Texas. I see a few every week. I’m glad people still appreciate these awesome rigs. It’s like the big boss daddy of SUVs.
My dad has a 2005 Ford Excursion with the triton V10 and with 181,000 miles it still runs great and has a great exhaust tone, we have had it for 7 years and no issues, we got new spark plugs at 150k miles but there has never been a check engine light on it.
I've never actually been hands-on with one of these, only my second time ever seeing one. Fun little story in the early to thousands. Somebody rented one of these and went full on grand theft auto with it. Police were unable to do anything and powerless to stop it. I forget how many million dollars in damage. The man caused during his rampage. Was in Halifax guy was mentally unstable and was trying to commit suicide by cop. Problem was, the cops were no match for this super SUV. It's part why they ended up ordering a special armored vehicle for the department. I forget how many cop cars. This guy total bouncing them off like little bugs when they tried to do their Trained pit maneuvers and so forth. This guy blissfully just went from vehicle to vehicle swerving right and left, hitting everything in his path. They basically had to some degree box. The guy in to one part of the city and wait for him to run out of gas or get stock. I forget if he ended up getting one of the wheels jammed on something or ran out of gas. In the US. Obviously they would've just riddled it with bullets at their earliest convenience but being Halifax, Canada. The cops don't do that kind of thing here. I Thinking in the US, this guy would've been so dead in minutes.
I was going to say that if this happened in the US, the local agency would probably have set up spikes at some point to try and slow the thing down. If that didn't work, depending on the agency would get an armored truck to box it in to a degree. However, the most simple option would be to shoot the guy, which is sad to say in itself. The reason I say it with confidence, and like how you said, is due to the fact that if someone hits cops in an obvious attempt to hit them, or try to hit them, lethal force will be authorized, as he is not only now putting the normal people at risk, he is also putting officers at risk.
I have 2004 Limited 6.0l Powerstroke Excursion. It's my favorite vehicle to drive and I plan on keeping it until i die. Shame they stopped making them.
I see a BMW M Coupe in the background yet I can’t seem to find a video? I had one of those years ago and is still one of my favorites, I look forward to a future video. Love the channel.
I own a 2005 Excursion 4wd with a V10. Contrary to this guy, I think the V10 is also a great engine at least for this 2005 model year as that spark plug issue I believe was resolved by Ford. And I grew up around muscle cars so I do love the sound of a gas-powered big block V10. 👌
biznakrivera ...The Eddie Bauer edition wasn’t at all minimalistic...I loved it..They were fantastic. Must have taken 87 cows to put that much leather in an excursion. Gives Road trips a whole new meaning. I miss them to. LOL...They never passed a gas station they didn’t like.
I love the old 7.3L. I have it in my 1996 F250, and ive given it a tune with upgraded down pipe and straight pipe, and man she rips. The nice thing is I don't need to use the tune a lot, its a lot of fun stock as is. Reliable as all hell, sounds amazing, and for a Ford Diesel, absolutely one of their best ever made. Second to the IDI they put in trucks for reliability tho, those are unkillable.
Nah man, when his woman talks, he listens. Take the dog out for a walk, he stays out with the dog. Gotta listen, she gonna own all of his shit one day.
7.3 turbo diesel is one amazing engine. They are very hard to overheat, even with a blown water pump... plus upgrades. Race transmissions, Banks turbo, turbo management systems.
Aside from the noise. They rattle like all hell. I put on my ears if I have to do anything under the hood while it's running. Or my tinnitus will ring like a doorbell for the next two days.
The average car has a cooling system capacity of about 2-3 gallons give or take. The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions have 5 gallon cooling system capacities. The average car has an oil pan capacity of anywhere from 4 to 8 quarts give or take. The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions hold 15 quarts in their oil pans plus about another 3 quarts running through the motor and high pressure oil pump reservoir. So it's no wonder this engine stays so cool. It's got so much self-cooling capability it's almost insulting to even need a water pump. In fact, there's an aftermarket thermostat made for these engines that are rated hotter than stock for certain applications.
@@chickensfloat7427 I love my 7.3 it's just very loud for my old ears. I'm just making conversation. And speaking for the 7.3 International engine. It's strong and well made.
I Got the 2004 6.8 Liter V10, my dad bought it at 81k miles and it’s still running strong at 180k my brother daily drove it to school and now I do and I never had a problem. Most reliable vehicle we ever had

You do not need to lift the cab on those to do the maintenance and work on the engine. You're confusing it with following 6.0 l engine which has that problem - amongst many other problems with it...
I just traded my 03 Excursion in on a 6.7 Powerstroke Super Duty. It was a 6.0 Powerstroke that was deleted and all the good stuff. I miss it so much already. It was so nice to drive. Comfort level was off the hook. But it had 255,000 miles and was getting to the point where it was going to start needing work. Good luck with your monster. They grow on you fast.

@@makinwaves8147 zing!
Navistar and International are the same company. They've changed names back and forth. They were Navistar when the 7.3 was being supplied to Ford
One of the most reliable SUV’s ever made. Stock, they could tow 11k lbs. I would love to have one!!
I loved them since the day they came out. I finally bought one last year.. The V10, and I absolutely love it. I def plan on buying another V10 within the next 1-2 years.
All I can say is Ford should bring this back!
Guess what? they are now!
My family has a 2000 Excursion, with the V10. I'd love the good ol' 7.3 power stroke in it, but that V10 does a damn good job. We've never had any major problems with it and it's heading towards 200,000 miles. Great vehicle, and handles the mud well!
Everyone with this truck coming home after work: "boy, there sure was a lot of speed bumps on the road today".
It actually sucks because most people tend to fixate on, and pace (drive next to), large vehicles.
If I had a dollar for every time some inattentive asshat went out of their way to camp out in my blind spot I could've got my Bulletproof Diesel mods for free.
psygnale My grandfather's '95 F350 attracted the same sort of followers. I think they figured that, in the event of a crash, they could take shelter behind the massive scrap truck.
Of course "boy, there sure was a lot of speed bumps on the road today" pretty well summed up his attitude and he'd just change lanes regardless. We've all wanted to do that, I think...
Everyone with this truck after a trip to the fuel pump: "Owe my butt is killing me!"
@@psygnale Really? Man people must be crazy in the US because I fucking HATE driving anywhere near these big trucks.

You made it man, I knew you would, keep pushing, you deserve it.
Ive always had a soft spot for the excursion. My best friend’s dad had a couple of these over the years. Iconic early 2000s gas guzzler.
That soft spot must be inside your head.
al fresco damn bro you got me
7.3 excursion can get 22mpg, I've seen it.
Chris W was going to say, i think they were rated at 23mpg highway
@@shartingfish5761 can confirm. They weren't there gas guzzlers everyone called them. More like Diesel sippers.
That actually IS the Best SUV ever made. Hoovie actually made a good buy
Yes he did! Just like his MB wagon
Not even close.
I’ve had mine for 20 years, the 7.3 still pulls strong with 380,000km. It’s bullet proof.
Andrew Butler That’s not even broken in Lol
Andrew Butler we had one for work and some idiot filled it up with gas TWICE! We drained the tank each time, filled it up with diesel and it ran like a champ. That thing truly is bullet proof.
How many Doug Memuro's equals 380,000km?
Joel Bosso assuming he’s about 2 meters tall then around 190 million
Were they not a 1ton? He is saying a 3/4ton
I grew up with one of these, it was a 2000 limited trim with the v10, and that thing in a word was awesome. Took a road trip in it from maryland to montana and it averaged maybe 12 mpg and with a 45 gallon feul tank the old f250 station wagon, as i like to call it, wasnt exactly ecinomical. But boy was it comfortable and fun
“Eight full size Doug Demuros.” 😂
Fabian Mejia I caught that too🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been waiting for the Excursion to catch your eye Hoovie. I’ve owned my 7.3 Excursion SuperDuty for over a decade. Little over 400,000 on the clock. Doing a turbo swap on it as it’s still more valuable than my other cars combined lol.
How much for a turbo swap? I own 4, 7.3l F350.
@@JTBCOOL1 GT38, or wicked wheel upgrade, or do something custom. I'm going custom: polished and upgraded Garrett. Best part is you don't need a massive lift, just a step ladder to get yourself up on top of the motor, the swap is doable yourself. Unhook the Y-pipe/splitter and get the turbo free of the pedestal and inlet/outlet. Replace the seals and pop the swap on. Easy like pie. Easier if you have two people to remove the hood for better access.
You should do a vlog about your truck Jeremy. I get excited every time I see one of these Excursions on the road. Surprisingly there are still quite a few of these on the road here in Texas. I see a few every week. I’m glad people still appreciate these awesome rigs. It’s like the big boss daddy of SUVs.
"There's so much room for activities in here."
Oh beeehaaaave!
My dad has a 2005 Ford Excursion with the triton V10 and with 181,000 miles it still runs great and has a great exhaust tone, we have had it for 7 years and no issues, we got new spark plugs at 150k miles but there has never been a check engine light on it.
I've never actually been hands-on with one of these, only my second time ever seeing one. Fun little story in the early to thousands. Somebody rented one of these and went full on grand theft auto with it. Police were unable to do anything and powerless to stop it. I forget how many million dollars in damage. The man caused during his rampage. Was in Halifax guy was mentally unstable and was trying to commit suicide by cop. Problem was, the cops were no match for this super SUV. It's part why they ended up ordering a special armored vehicle for the department. I forget how many cop cars. This guy total bouncing them off like little bugs when they tried to do their Trained pit maneuvers and so forth. This guy blissfully just went from vehicle to vehicle swerving right and left, hitting everything in his path. They basically had to some degree box. The guy in to one part of the city and wait for him to run out of gas or get stock. I forget if he ended up getting one of the wheels jammed on something or ran out of gas. In the US. Obviously they would've just riddled it with bullets at their earliest convenience but being Halifax, Canada. The cops don't do that kind of thing here. I Thinking in the US, this guy would've been so dead in minutes.
Do you have any more details on this? I tried to google it, but only get recent stuff and info articles about police cars.
I daily drive a 6.0 powerstroke excursion with a big turbo injectors and a 6.4 cam and shes fucking quick
Not in Canada and not an Excursion, but I feel like he's talking about this one.
th-cam.com/video/mNu5fUwTZGk/w-d-xo.html
I was going to say that if this happened in the US, the local agency would probably have set up spikes at some point to try and slow the thing down. If that didn't work, depending on the agency would get an armored truck to box it in to a degree.
However, the most simple option would be to shoot the guy, which is sad to say in itself. The reason I say it with confidence, and like how you said, is due to the fact that if someone hits cops in an obvious attempt to hit them, or try to hit them, lethal force will be authorized, as he is not only now putting the normal people at risk, he is also putting officers at risk.
My local PD has an excursion looks goofy AF
I love the excursion, I love this purchase, it’s a F-250 in suv form and pretty modern, and the power!!!!!
"It can fit eight full size Doug DeMuro's"

Thank you so much for buying this... The Excursion is my favorite car ever, glad to see someone is giving it some attention:)

I see a BMW M Coupe in the background yet I can’t seem to find a video? I had one of those years ago and is still one of my favorites, I look forward to a future video. Love the channel.
Haaaha Jeff Sneed, You and I both saw the same thing! Enough of the Ford show me the M Coupe!!!!
It has been there for a while now, seen it in at least one other video this year. I hope he gets around to the BMW soon
He's had the z3 for a while now. You can see it in his last state of the fleet video too. Probably the cheapest one so very broken or something.
Same, been waiting for a video on it!

I still miss my Excursion. I never should have sold it
I've heard this from most former Excursion owners, regret, regret, regret.
@@habanero8192 I traded mine of this week and I'm already kicking myself. It was just so nice to drive.
I own a 2005 Excursion 4wd with a V10. Contrary to this guy, I think the V10 is also a great engine at least for this 2005 model year as that spark plug issue I believe was resolved by Ford. And I grew up around muscle cars so I do love the sound of a gas-powered big block V10. 👌
@@digitalsuperdaddy Mine was a 2000 v10. I never had any problems but I was definitely aware of the spark plug problems.
@@digitalsuperdaddy Oh man you got a big block 7.3 motor in a 4 ton suv. You must get better gas mileage than a hypermiling Honda insight.
That Rug really ties the room together. :P
Lol
That's a hand knotted rug it doesnt belong in a garage like that :(
@Mark Morrissey Maybe Hoovie can find a Lebowski in the phone book and get another one.
7:54 - 10:30 I totally zoned out watching Frank looking out the windows at the world, I heard something about spark plugs?
Parents have owned two of them. Road trips were amazing lol. They had the Eddie Bauer with the V10.. Miss those things.
My dad used to own one that had a v10. Definitely one of the easiest vehicles to learn to drive on!
They are huge, they scare me
I had the misfortune of driving a U-Haul with the V10 across country helping family move. Thirsty, noisy and underpowered.
biznakrivera ...The Eddie Bauer edition wasn’t at all minimalistic...I loved it..They were fantastic. Must have taken 87 cows to put that much leather in an excursion. Gives Road trips a whole new meaning. I miss them to. LOL...They never passed a gas station they didn’t like.
I've had this car since I was a kid! It's a beast and it was awesome! We had the leather limited ones.
I love the old 7.3L. I have it in my 1996 F250, and ive given it a tune with upgraded down pipe and straight pipe, and man she rips. The nice thing is I don't need to use the tune a lot, its a lot of fun stock as is. Reliable as all hell, sounds amazing, and for a Ford Diesel, absolutely one of their best ever made. Second to the IDI they put in trucks for reliability tho, those are unkillable.
Wife: can you take the dog out for a walk?
Hoovie : proceeds to review a car and goes for a drive
Nah man, when his woman talks, he listens. Take the dog out for a walk, he stays out with the dog. Gotta listen, she gonna own all of his shit one day.
@@PP-ed9cf what
@@PP-ed9cfyou were right…
7.3 turbo diesel is one amazing engine. They are very hard to overheat, even with a blown water pump... plus upgrades. Race transmissions, Banks turbo, turbo management systems.
Aside from the noise. They rattle like all hell. I put on my ears if I have to do anything under the hood while it's running. Or my tinnitus will ring like a doorbell for the next two days.
Im surprised he didnt buy a pos f250 with a 6.4 or something
@@MrKnutriis then dont drive a truck lol. I daily a v8 swapped 40 year old jeep. And what do you know i have the same damn ringing ears....
The average car has a cooling system capacity of about 2-3 gallons give or take.
The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions have 5 gallon cooling system capacities.
The average car has an oil pan capacity of anywhere from 4 to 8 quarts give or take.
The 7.3 Super Duties/Excursions hold 15 quarts in their oil pans plus about another 3 quarts running through the motor and high pressure oil pump reservoir.
So it's no wonder this engine stays so cool. It's got so much self-cooling capability it's almost insulting to even need a water pump. In fact, there's an aftermarket thermostat made for these engines that are rated hotter than stock for certain applications.
@@chickensfloat7427 I love my 7.3 it's just very loud for my old ears. I'm just making conversation. And speaking for the 7.3 International engine. It's strong and well made.
I Got the 2004 6.8 Liter V10, my dad bought it at 81k miles and it’s still running strong at 180k my brother daily drove it to school and now I do and I never had a problem. Most reliable vehicle we ever had
"Look at this little Hyundai right here, it's so cute!" as Hoovie keeps accelerating towards the back of it lol
We need an investigative journalist to find out why new car seats are so terrible and hard. I agree cars of the 2000's are far more confortable.
Because modern day journalists want every single car to feel sporty and feel good in the corners and have a good nurburgring time and have racing bucket seats.. it's literally retarded.
Soft seats soak up more sweat and butt juice start stinking after a few years
I've heard it's for crash safety, to hold occupants more safely.
Cars are made for the track these days and not everyday driving.
I agree early 1980s to 2000s seats are comfy.
Rode in the rear of a early 2000s Chevy suburban and 1980 Ford f150...comfortable.
Now, not so much.
THE GREATEST PURCHASE I'VE SEEN YOYU MADE SO FAR HOOVIE GOOD JOB!!!!
That thing’s so big your dog will likely arrive in a different time zone than you when your destination is reached!
I was wondering where was Hoovie and what car mistakes did he made now, 1 minute later, here he is and he couldn't have bought something more perfect! 😂😂

That's crazy they let an 8 year old drive.
An 8 year old with an f350? That sounds like a scandal

Why would they let an 8 year old drive a vehicle?

I just traded my 03 Excursion in on a 6.7 Powerstroke Super Duty. It was a 6.0 Powerstroke that was deleted and all the good stuff. I miss it so much already. It was so nice to drive. Comfort level was off the hook. But it had 255,000 miles and was getting to the point where it was going to start needing work.
Good luck with your monster. They grow on you fast.
