I am tempted - 155k on my 7.3, but I worry that I will regret it.

If you sold it, what would you replace it with? There isn't anything else out there that can do what it can...

Drove the Ex in for my 30 mile commute instead of grabbing my shuttle because it's Friday and a beautiful day in the Pacific NW. Nice to make it through a whole trip to work without the brakes/rotors getting all sticky and wobbly.

Have a good Friday night, I know y'all East Coasters are gettin' real close to beer-thirty

Well, I did it. After owning her for over 8 years, I finally got rid of her. My buddy had been bugging me to swap with him and the money finally made sense.

Traded for a 2001 F-350 single wheel XLT Crew Cab 4x4 with 285k miles and the 7.3l diesel.

For several years now I've said that I would trade the Excursion for a truck if the right deal came along.

We traded trucks and and titles and I gave him $500. (He ended up leaving some goodies in that he was originally going to remove.)

It's not a perfect truck but its fine for what I need. Plus it has the center front seat/flip-down console (from a 2010) so I have 6 seat belts for the whole family if I need.
