This list does not include the several motorcycles I have had over the years...

Yes, there were some stupid choices in that list, including selling the first Ex

 

Before my first Excursion i had my 1996 Ford Explorer Limited 4x4. I still have it even though it was totaled in 2011.

This doesn't account for the 20+ other Ford trucks i've had since i was a teen.

 

Excursion (current)
VW Passat
Dodge Durango
Chevy S10 Blazer
Chevy S10 Blazer

4 wheelers and Snowmobiles until I get my DL

 

An 05 350z supercharged, 07 Suburban LTZ, 1999 2 door Tahoe lifted. No pics of the Burb.

 

I gave Ford my "LEMON" 1999 EB Expidition back and got the Ex in exchange.

 

This is an interesting thread to me. I had been driving new trucks the last several years and decided to go back a few years to something I could pay cash for. I have been surprised how much I like the Excursion. When I factor in the "It's paid for feeling" I enjoy it even more and it becomes one of my favorites.

Everyone thinks I lost my mind going from trading new trucks every couple years to a 13 year old Excursion with 268k miles. I am truly enjoying it though and when it dies I will likely buy another Ex or possibly a Super Duty.

Russ, are you sure? You've had an Ex so long, I thought you went from your tricycle to one.

 

My daily driver was my 97 7.3 F-350, and I still have it, though it mostly just gets driven in the winter now. I try to keep the Excursion on a low sodium diet to postpone the inevitable. This is not a recent pic.... unfortunately, my 97 is getting a bit rusty. Still not as bad as most around here, as it only has about 115,000 mi on it.

 

The Ex is not my DD, but see signature for the stuff I still have and ....

01 2500 Silverado 4x4 6.0
