Finally found my Excursion
I have been on a hunt for an Excursion for a long time. My goal was to find a 7.3L but they are either rust buckets or $$$. I found a rust free Excursion that spent its whole life in New Mexico and was bought by a dealership in Chicago at an auto auction. So, I purchased a 2005 Ford Excursion XLT with the V10. It's not the fancy leather, DVD, navigation version but that is ok with me. I will only be using it for snow storms, if my DD breaks down, and for hauling my drag car to the drag strip. It rolled over to 99K miles on my way home from Chicago. Runs amazing too. I will be doing a major tune-up on my next day off, weather pending of course. All fluids will be changed, spark plugs, wires, clean the MAF, new fuel filter, new air filter, and whatever else I find that needs to be replaced. I'm pretty particular with my vehicles and their upkeep. I have found a ton of information on here already, especially when I was creeping trying to find out why I was hell bent on getting an Excursion. I don't think I'm going to do any engine or exhaust modification?

WELCOME to the world of XXXs 
GREAT find. You won't need to do any engine or EXhaust mods under your use. IF you have to do any EXhaust work it would be good to put in a Y pipe.
PS: We also like pics of Drag Cars

Welcome! The DVD would probably of been outdated and the leather worn anyways. We ended up with leather but I actually wanted cloth because it seems to age better. We love our V10 that we picked up just a couple months or so ago.
