The gas station manager has to go reset his pumps cause your 7.3 diesel motor just pumped more in one stop than his station puts out for other diesel trucks

You know you drive an excursion when:

The chickfila drivethrough lists your vehicle as big black van.

And then they ask you turn it off so they can hear you through the Mic.

You see a X in the road in front of you and catch up to it just so you and the other guy can give each other a thumbs up.

Your dad says there's no way you can that 30 foot camper up that dirt road hill and makes you wait the night till the morning before trying it and you go up in 4 without breaking 2k rpm.

When the Mr. Carwash charges you an oversized vehicle charge and you only have a 5 inch lift.

When your camping with five people plus gear and are still able to fit 3 hikers plus gear who need a drive down the mountain.

When your flooded in at a wedding and have to shuttle people across a flooded road because no one else can make it. (well I take it back there was a lifted cummings 3500 who made it, but he couldn't take 7 passengers could he).

When you park to excursions intentionally, not to challenge them, but so that you can wait for them to come out and you can bond and become friends.

Ahhh I'm about to buy my second X. Thanks guys for reminding that in a fuel efficient world, we still know what the right call is.

I told someone the other day (while standing next to my truck) "Nice truck" as they were walking away from their lifted X. Instead of noticing my also bad-*** X and saying "I notice you also like to live dangerously" he instead ignored my truck and gave me a look and said "It's not a truck, it's an Excursion." then walked off like he was hot ****.

I think the problem is that you missed the code word. Your not suppose to say "nice truck" but instead "nice Ex"! Probably not a guy you would want to talk or hang out with anyways. Hey, it was worth a shot.

.... You're on vacation and all you do is point out all the other excursions on the road. The whole time missing yours at home.

David, now that makes it a challenge for the coast guard to find when they sit in the water that way. I'm thinking the fuel spill would be spotted before they found the actual boat.
