Asking $30,xxx

we'll see!
What trim level? Seems rather pricey.

Is the 2003-2005 Ex rated to tow that 12,000# boat? I was under the impression the limits on the Ex were 10,000/1,000.

Good catch, max tow on a 4X4 2005 Excursion is 11,000

I see a bunch of diesel Excursions on Washington state Craigslist.

2005 Ford Excursion 137 WB 6.0L Eddie Bauer

Welcome to Milam Auto the Northwest's number one New Mazda and Pre-owned Dealership | 2005 Ford Excursion Limited

This one has a couple mods (tires, metal CAC), but I wouldn't turn my nose up at it:

2004 Ford Excursion XLT 6.0L 4X4

And a few more.

There were less than 4000 2005 eddie bauer with the 6.0 made! They are hard to find, it took me a year to find a 1 owner with less than 60k on her The price is supply/demand, what you are willing to pay. Mine was 30k 3 years ago, now with a lot of mods and 105k i have no regrets about my godzilla purchase truck!

WOW......


Well, I guess it's gonna be plan-B!!

After doing a bit more research, I decided to ask my local Ford Service Dept what it would cost to do a head gasket job on my "new" 6.0L Excursion.......

He said it would only cost about $7500 if there was nothing else to do!


I suppose I'll be doing my second choice!


Thanks to all who offered suggestions.


Hope you all have good head gaskets!



Regards,


Rick
