2006 Excursion???
I thought the Excursion was officially extinct after 2005 but the latest Job 1 build dates (updated April 17th) shows the X again.

I was talking to sales manager at ford where I recieved the bad news on my excursion. The sales manager says that this year was the last year for the excursion. What a shame, the excursion is great for the family and does rather well in gas mileage.

Does this mean the 4.5L Powerstroke V-6 was to heavy or unrefined for this vehicle?

The VT275 4.5L I have seen in the Medium Duty CF is 200bhp @ 3000 rpm and 440 lb-ft Torque. They have a uprated version in the pipeline at 230bhp and 460 lb-ft though.
BTW They make this engine in a plant they bought from Cummins/Onan in Huntsville (Madison) AL. Guess what this plant used to make? The Cummins B5.9L 12V that was used in the Pre-'98 Dodges! Its a small world....

I don't know about where you guys are at but I cannot find a stocking dealer! If Ford wanted to sell more of the X they would make sure that every dealer have some on their lot. My local Ford store has NEVER had one in stock for show and tell. I had to buy mine out of town! You can't sell what you don't have.

I was at the dealer this morning to hopefully have the stalling issue on my '03 Cobra fixed. The manager and I were speaking about the biz in general, and he confirmed that the Excursion is done this year. They have 4 '05s in stock.

So the X can no longer be ordered?
