2011 Excursion

I came across this while perusing Autoblog. Maybe you guys have seen these before, but I thought this was pretty cool:

Ford Excursion lives! Get your 2011 model right here — Autoblog

These guys will make you a custom 2011 Excursion. I'll take two please!

That is where they lost their credibility. Also, $53k, seems a lot like the sticker price of my excursion when it was new.

I tried to read some of the replies at the end of the story...some people just don't understand. One guy stated it was "a heavy truck for heavy ugly people". Seems he has never had enough friends to need the extra space/ability the X offers

Most people on that site don't have a clue about why people actually need trucks. They think everyone that has a truck is compensating for something and could get by with a Subaru Outback.

I'm glad there were a couple guys who chimed in who actually own Excursions.

I wonder if you could build one of these from a stripper XL reg cab 250 that would save a lot of money over a lariat.

I've tried to post a link to his site before but this site wont allow it. They do great work. Once our Malibu is paid off and the resto on my 78 Trans Am is complete we are going to contact him. We'll take a Mocha colored King Ranch please.

They do look sweet. Love the new dash on the 2011. Almost ready to sell my 66 Eldorado my Ex and get one of these. Gonna wait till that new Diesel engine is out a few years so the bugs are out. Remember the 03 6.0? Ouch!!

Wow, If I'd passed one of those on the road I'd have driven in the ditch trying to get a better look. Thanks slcdzl for sharing the link.

If anything ever happens and my Ex is totaled from front end damage I might consider having this done.
