How long have you had your Excursion?

Self explanatory question. I've had mine since Jan 2005. So 13 years. It was a Hertz transport vehicle at the airport in Orlando before I got it. They put 20 k miles on it in the few
months they owned it. I know some of you have had yours for longer, some shorter.

I've had mine almost 6 years. Bought it with 168k and just passed 240 last weekend somewhere in PA. I love it and would only trade it for a late model conversion EX. I see several in my area and most give a wave on the way by.

2011, had 113K on it. Has about 182 on it now. Mostly earns it's keep hauling the trailer around for a couple more years, otherwise it's a garage queen now. Too bad it wasn't a garage queen when new, it lived the soccer mom life in GA for the first 11 years of it's life.

Not too bad for a nearly 19 yr old truck and 6 yr old camper.

I've had mine since early 2015 and put just over 100K on the clock so far. It was a Cincinnati to Nashville commuter for a while (hence the miles). I have a beater car that I'm driving more and more now, but soon it'll go to the next kid getting her license. I keep saying I'll get another beater, but I just love driving the X. I'll probably keep it forever.

temp tag just expired, so about 45 days. I'm only the 3rd owner. First owner took it to 32K, so it was probably a lease... had 194K when I got it.

Picked up mine new on Friday, Memorial day weekend 2003, took her for a ride to PA on that Saturday. She was a dream to drive and the dvd was great for my daughter and mother-in-law, they were always bored. Great road trip vehicle and no issues other then routine maintenance. have 57K on her now.

Bought mine new in 2004, modified it to coil over front, new axles (rebuilt) Dana 60s and full engine (all bolts) ARP bolts and new heads along with all the goodies (blue head,etc). Nearly 300k and was time to freshen it up!

Bought ours in January 2004 from a dealer in Lyons Il (south Chicago). It was way below book, and after I placed the deposit, the dealer got calls wondering if the price was correct. Second owner, have over 240K on it.

Bought mine in Dec/2011. Have put 115k on it, and it is now sitting at 320k miles. Not quite the same truck since I bought it, though.

Love it, and it will never leave my possession (unless I die and the wife sells it).
