So far I have: no hood blanket
: no 2nd seat cup holder & center air vent
: black dash & sterring wheel
: redesigned front clip
Thanks for the info so far. Is there anything else anyone knows about?
The hood vent you can add ourself like some people here on the website have done. The cup holder and the air vent you can probably add also, but not as easily. The different interior color and the redesigned exterior all boils down to personal preference, as you can see here on this thread everybody has their likings. I'm not to sure on this one, but the 6.0, depending on build date might be somewhat updated compared to the older 6.0s, maybe someone can clarify this for everybody. What were the build dates for the 6.0s that had updates to them?

Ewwww...acres of ugly, flat-black (cheap) plastic is not my style. So, yes, I indeed bought a grey dash from an 04 to add a bit of ...uh... something to the part I have to look at all the time. I also got white face gauge overlays.

Are you refering to engine upgrades or other stuff?

Read this and it'll show what updates that were done to the 6.0 over the years. I just wanted to know what engines the Excursions had received, as that article does not mention the Excursion much.

What about the dash wiring harness? What year did the Excursion switch to the newer style stereo harness? was that prior to '03? What year did the adjustable pedals, memory, and digital climate control become available?
