New for 2005
Just ordered my 2005 Excursion yesterday and Ford finally is offering cab/clearance lights - yippee! Also, does anyone know what "jeweled" headlights are versus the "crystalline" headlights? The 05's come with new jeweled headlights

Look at the 2005 Escape. It has "Jeweled" headlights.

clearance lights on mirrors
You guys are right, the clearance lights are only on the mirrors. I did go with the 6.0 as I love this engine. This truck replaces my 2003 which is a buyback under the lemon law. Also decided to go with Harvest Gold instead of black. Too much of my job involves dirt roads where we build homes.

Why the buyback? Is it the 6 liter? Do you feel that Ford has resolved the problems with the PSD?

I have had a number of new Fords with the 7.3 and the 6.0. Always had good vehicles and much less time in the shop than my past GM trucks. However, this one was truly a lemon, from the seatbelts to the engine. I do believe in gremlins and this one was infected with them. I love the excursion and really get a rush out of trompin on that diesel!!!

all the excursions were limited as far as i could tell, the white super duty was king ranch and the grey SD was lariat i believe. they were all 6.0L. I imagine they were going to the proving grounds (heading west on I-40). sorry i couldnt be of more help.
