The base curb weights for 2005 Excursions without options are as follows:
4X2----5.4/6680---6.8/6756---6.0/7341
4X4----5.4/7162---6.8/7230---6.0/7770
Edit: The above weights also reflect the options holdback amounts (Maximum Allowable Weight) that is built into every curb weight.
4x2----5.4/320---6.8/244---6.0/0
4X4----5.4/338---6.8/270---6.0/0
4X2----5.4/6680---6.8/6756---6.0/7341
4X4----5.4/7162---6.8/7230---6.0/7770

I have a XLT V10 4X4. My weight before I started modding it and adding bumpers was 7240, weight at a Cat scale.
Now, that weight is 7780 with all the junk I have added to it, and will probably get a little heavier this winter.
BTW, to understand how my original weight was 7240 when the declared curb weight without options is 7230 for that vehicle, take a look at the holdbacks that I listed above.. For the 4X4 V10, it says ther is a 270lb Allowable weight. This means that the vehicle, when built and no options is REALY 7230 -279 =6960. But the options added to turn it into XLT trim added 280lbs to the base vehicle, bringing the weight up to 7340.
When it comes to the diesels, I think Ford just kinda looked the other way. LOL. But, in reality, there was a holdback amount for the 7.3 diesels, just not on the 6.0.

Really great info Bion! One thing doesn't look right though:
How would a V10 weigh over 500 lbs less than the V8? Do you mean 6742?

Those 2 are probably switched and the factory might not include gas , oil, extras, and water (like they do with the snowmobiles). I think the actual owner tickets from weigh stations etc would be more realistic unless you want to compare them to other new vehicles.

I checked the numbers again, and on the 2005 sales book I have, those are the numbers published. It seems odd. Maybe a misprint? I don't know.
WAit.. found it.
They list the front and rear axle weights in the same chart and it seems they did not total it right.
The 4X2 v10 lists 3170 front and 3586 rear. Adding them gives 6756. Seems they DID have a typo.
I'm changing the chart above to reflect the 6756 weight
Good Catch!!

I think a cheap model 4WD with a v-10 and no liquids in it is about 7,200 pounds from the factory, and an average one on the street with gas etc. but nobody in it is closer to 8,000 pounds.

If I recall correctly, I still have the tag somewhere, the shipping weight tag that was in the X when it came off the delivery truck was 8400 and something pounds....Somewhere around here or in the dash I still have it. At the time I had a 6.5L Turbo 4x4 2500 Suburban and I thought "good god, this thing weighs a ton more than the Sub"

Ordnance and equipment in a 25' trailer from VA to Idaho. Ill be pulling it home in February when I finish up here. Shifted the weight around some and added another 5K pounds. That was a preliminary weigh to see how it was set up.

I'm going to be getting weights first without the WD kit and then with it installed to verify weight transfer. Will be posting another thread with this info tonight!
