2016 Excursion conversion
Hello all!
First post here!!!
I have has a 2003 Excursion since new and have never really found anything that I wanted to replace it until now. I have said for the last several years if only they actually made a new one, I would buy it, watched the news closely and gave up on it now for 2018. An opportunity arose for me to buy a brand new 2019 Platinum F250 conversion. Bought from Reed Ford Texas, built by Reed Automotive designs owned by Reed ford, apparently they do many customs.
Anyway, I received it last Friday and I what I wanted to find out about others here on the forum who have bought these conversions what they think about them, so please if you have anything positive or negative to say about the conversion or the companies that do them please respond to my post!!
BTW still have the 03 and it still looks and runs awesome!!
Thanks!!

Wait, you bought a converted F series to Excursion or a new F series? If you bought one of the conversions I don't think you'll get a lot of "Feedback" about them from us. You see, we FTE members are a simple folk and $150k vehicles are a tad out of our (except for 2) price range. Either way CONGRATS on the new purchase and POST PICS

Lol!! I've been saving up for quite some time and I assure you I did not pay 150 K for it! I had priced some out and you're right they were close to 150 K when I looked and opportunity came up for me to buy one of the Texas it's based on a brand-new 2016 F250 platinum truck .
I paid just under 100k before taxes the sticker on the truck loan was right at 70 so I feel I got a pretty decent deal . As soon as I figure out how to post pictures here I will give it a shot . Other than that if you want to email me with your email address I can send you the pictures . My email is berndude@gmail.com

Clarification
This is a 2016
Regarding the comment about 2018 what i meant was that I was hoping there would be an Excursion by at least 2018, waited when the rumors were in for 2016, then 2017 but they decided to do the Bronco instead and now I hear no Excursion for 2018.
Now if they actually come out with one I will be a little miffed!
I have owned many fun cars but I have always loved my Excursion. It is the only car I have kept more than 4 years
Living in Southern California it is a trophy!!! my older Excursion is Big, Black, beautiful, loud and smokes with the flip of a switch. It was one of the first cars ever done by Roland @ RBP (Rolling Big Power)
It once had propane injection

With only 16,000 units produced in '05 I wouldn't expect to ever see Ford make another EX, they died a natural death, Ford didn't kill the model. 
And I'm sorry, but you NEED to post up several pictures of this new conversion for the group to stare at.
