WOW!!!!
Ok I'm all for a lifted truck but this may just be too much.
2003 Ford Excursion Eddie Bauer Sport Utility 4D White (162245) Fort Worth | Preowned SUVs | Dallas | Arlington Used Cars | Preowned Cars
You won't be useing a drive thru or drive up ATM with this. Parking Garages are deffinitly off limit.
Oh hell who am I kidding I'd love to have this one. If I didn't live 6 hrs away I'd go test drive it. I called the dealership the person I talked to had no idea what size of lift that is.

I don't see the ladder to get in. That looks like a 3' lift to me, plus the tires... It's a gimmic, a toy, not really functional. IMO takes away from the purpose of the excursion, but then again, I'm a big fan of toys that have no practical purpose.

My wife complains about getting in my Ex now, no lift.. I could only image the hell she would give me getting into that one. Hell I would need to park my current ex, let her walk up onto the hood just to get into that "vehicle" I have to stress the term vehicle is being used very loosely.

I couldn't imagine trying to drive that around or get in it. Which - how exactly are you supposed to get into that? Carry a step ladder around and move it around so each person can get into their door? I did save a few of the pictures - looks pretty cool - just not for me.

Back before I discovered Jeeps and rockcrawling I used to play in the mud. I had a 78 Chevy 1-ton with 12" of lift and 44" tires. It spent 99% of the time off-road. That 1% that I did drive it on the road was crazy. The truck handled ok considering it's height, but you had absolutely NO visibility within 6 feet all around the truck. I actually backed into a car at a gas station and from inside of the cab of the truck I could not see the car at all. I see guys driving around here in rigs like and all I can say is WOW. They are crazier than I am for sure.

Straight out of the 80's. Height for the sake of height with no thought to function. I'd be willing to bed if you got on the skinny pedal hard you'd send those axle shafts to the junkyard. Of course if the owner didn't bother with little details like GEARS after those big honkin tires, maybe not. Either way, while the truck itself looks pretty decent, it's exactly the kind of 4x4 that I'd laugh at rather than own.
