Buy an EXCURSION ?
Strongly recommend you take the time to review the past comments on this Forum. What you will find, is that we are all pretty happy with our vehicles.
Yes, there are some technical issues, depending on year, engine, and drive line choices. I personally have never seen one with a manual transmission; (frankly, not clear why you would want one, given the superb history & flexibility of the automatics).
STRONGLY recommend you do what I did - was fortunate in finding this forum BEFORE I made my purchase. This forum summarizes the experience and advice of a LOT of Excursion operators. With a background of going thru the various "posts", you will be well-positioned to 1) make a good choice and 2) make such INTELLIGENT technical changes as needed to suit your personal requirements.

I have a plow on my "X". Just went out and put it on as we are suppost to get 3-6" snow tonight. Great plowing in it, but of course the visibility is a little opstructed unlike a pickup. No complaints about mine! I will post pictrues as soon as i can

No Excursion came with manual hubs or transfer case. Not even the fleet ones. However, if funds are adequate, it is a pretty easy swap.
Number of guy plows with them. You'll need new, stronger springs up front though.
The length is comparable to a regular cab, long bed.

OK men thanks,,just what I wanted to find out,,I plow now with my SC, shortbed with a cap on it,,think it 142" wheelbase,,so as far as switching to an Excursion for a work truck,,crew cab, remove 3rd seat,,no cap needed, cardboard down first, then either a piece of plywood, or some company must make a liner for the back of them,,,should make a nice Rig,, if I decide to go this way.
Thanks,,,,,,,,Mark
