Got mine about 7 years ago with 100k on it. Now has 210k. About the put another 6k on it starting this weekend.

 

I ordered my 2005 and took delivery on January 4, 2005.

 

 

Born October 2nd, 2000, Rudolph was purchased new with 50 Miles back on August 27th, 2001. Almost 17 years later, he now has 456K on him and like Nicmike's truck, ain't quite the same, lol

Born July 28th, 2005, The Monster came home with me October 13th, 2013 from the Pan Handle with 123,860 on the clock. Despite the clogged oil cooler and leaking EGR cooler, it STILL safely drove 650 miles home. It was a one-owner truck owned by couple that owned a fire safety company. It took a month of searching and finding exactly what I wanted, but I wasn't going to settle. My '05 Excursion needed to have the two rarest options on an '05: Lighted Running Boards and a 2005 Engine (not the carryover 2004 engine)

Even though both are down now, they're still worth fixing and worth their weight in gold.

 

 

Oct 2000 purchased new with 10 Miles on it. 18 years later just under 600,000

 

Bought in July 2013 with 65K miles. Now at 93K. My favorite vehicle!

 

Officially since April 2015, but my parents bought it new on 9/2/05 with 40 miles on it.

I had my previous Ex from April 2007-July 2012.

I bought my parts Ex in December 2011, and I still have some of it lol.

 

I started this thread while I was thinking about how long I have had this truck. How much I would be screwed if something happened to it. How hard and expensive it would be to replace it with something to do the same thing. How unique the Excursion is.

The last Excursion rolled off the assembly plant in Kentucky 13 years ago. It was only made for 6 years. Something tells me the Excursion will someday be sought after collector vehicles.

Take care of yours. After a while of it being yours, it becomes nearly an extension of you.

We will probably never see it's like again.

 

I bought mine about 6 months ago - it's spent most of it's time in the shop - for a make-over not mechanical. Unfortunately they work on multiple projects at once. But it looks awesome!




enjoy yours!

wow, Dawn. You have more love in the wallet to give than I. Nice!!!

 

November 2011 with 72K, in now has 113K on it. Used mostly for family trips and towing.

When I picked it up it had a 10in lift and 37" wheels. For my purpose, I removed the lift and put the v/b code setup and the 18" King Ranch wheels. I do like the setup.

The entire life of my number 4 child, and all of the life of number 5 (only a few months at this point) so about 3 1/2 years and lots of good miles along with a little bit of money. Some necessary most for fun!

 

Agreed! Between the places I've been with it, taking my driver's test, going off to college, and countless other memories, it really is a big part of me. I can't stand the thought of something ever happening to it. I grew up with two first gen Navigators, and the Excursion has a lot of similarities, at least on the interior, so it was already a reminder of my childhood.
