New to us Excursion
Well, we bought an '05 XLT with a V10. 62k for miles. So far so good. We sold our 2003 F250 XLT Lariat CC with a 7.3
We love the room and it can haul our Jayco 32bhds G2.
Only mods I can see in the near future are the V and B spring mods, 4:30's and a 5 Star tuner.
Thanks in advance for all the help through this site.
Tony

Sounds like a great X, and some great mods. You will absolutely love the 4.30's and 5star tunes!!!

Welcome to the EX family Tony!
Sounds like you are off to a great start with a low mileage EX and a solid plan to make it an excellent tow rig. The 4.30 gears and custom tunes are a great upgrade for a V-10 EX, so much better for towing chores!

Welcome to the family! We live for mods. Sounds like you have a good plan. IMHO-go do the spring swap-you'll like it a lot more
