Great looking truck.

That's one of the cleanest interiors I've seen. Seats look brand new.

Great find

We need to have a little Houston area meet and greet before the weather gets too hot...

Those seats have been painted as the steering wheel. Dealers have interior guys come out and basically bondo over deep cracks and patch small tears and then paint the seats with a dye. It's super cheap to do and looks great... for about 2 months. The biggest downside is it's ultra flat (to to show less flaws) and therefor wears off faster. There's nothing wrong with it, but just know it's been done.

EDIT: Found this Diy - freshen up leather seats for $20 - no more ugly seat bottoms
I figured they had been painted...the paint isn't the best. Anyone buy new seat bottoms from ford?

They are expensive, but some users buy from The Seat Shop.

I've been trying to snag an Excursion since about 2001, but money, family, wife, good sense have kept me from jumping in. Finally made it happen, picked up a 2002 V10 4X4 Limited. I'm in love with this truck. Surprisingly, my wife is in love with this truck. Like I said...I've been lurking and reading for some time now. In the past, I've worked as an auto tech and am currently a mechanical engineer. Things need to improved...that's my take on this. So now its time to get started!














Just like my first one. It was such a good ride--unfortunately the need for FWD forced me to sell it. It is still by favorite color
