I bought the Excursion PSD for a reason, more torque for towing even though I might never tow anything. If I want a gas engine, it will be a 5.7 L Sequoia

Things are looking promising over here, mine may be done in a month.

I loved my V10 Ex, but the diesel's fun to drive factor is worth the couple hundred grand it will probably cost me to own

Yes, please! I like to have it studded, change water pump (preventive measure), all 8 injectors, maybe even a new HPOP. What else did I miss? Take it back here when you are done. Oh yeah, I need you to test drive it. Use it to tow for at least 50K miles before return to me

Why would you want a 6.0 L where you live, as soon as you step on the accelerator, you complete circle the island already
