2003 Excursion XLT Premium
I am in the market for an Excursion or F350 Crew Cab... I put a deposit down on this vehicle....

I have a 1998 Suburban now, so I am used to filling up my tank for $95..... Just looking for some opinions on the quality, etc. of Excursions and if this one looks like a good (or even fair) deal....
Thanks....

VERY Nice choice my friend! 
The Excursion was built to tow stuff and carry people. The overall quality of the Excursion is just superb to say the least. Many of us have had ours for years with no complaints and lots of love form them. (myself included
) If you tow often, the 4.30 rear end will serve you well; otherwise just stick with the stock 3.73. You've got yourself a good deal, but see what the others have to say before you jump. Best of luck to ya'!

First of all Welcome!! This is a great site for EX info.
I have an 02 XLT Premium with the V-10 3.73 rear. I have a 28ft boat I tow every once in a while and it does it flawlessly. The V-10 engine, In my opinion is the best engine Ford puts out. I have only 27,500 miles on mine, but I have not yet had one problem with engine or tranny in over 3 years since I bought it new. The 44k can't be the purchase price..If it is, that is way too much $$ for that EX. I would think you could get it for 25-27k.
Again Welcome and let us know what you end up with.

I've looked up and down this thread and I just don't see it.

The link I guess what just updated, because, now it shows the purchase price at almost 26k...In the AM it was over 44k...
The 26k is more realistic..
