The 2003 Ford Excursion XLT with the V10 engine typically uses a Class IV, 2-inch receiver hitch (like the CURT 14011) offering a 12,000 lbs gross trailer weight (GTW) and 1,200 lbs tongue weight (TW) capacity, compatible with weight distribution systems. It is a bolt-on, custom-fit, powder-coated steel hitch that requires no welding for installation

2001 or 2002 I believe is when the rating changed to the way it's fastened to the frame. If it's still there you can look at the rating decal on the receiver tube.
