I was looking for an older 3/4 ton 8.1L Suburban to tow my camper when I came across a mint 2001 Ford Excursion. 79k, V10, F250 suspension. So I said WTH and bought it. I friggin love this beast! I cant afford to drive it but I love it LOL!

About time you wised up lol:clap:

Them Excursions are damn good SUVs. I never had a v10 but a buddy of mine has one in his f-250 and says he can get like 13-14MPG out of it.

I want to see more pics.

Oh yea you will never go back to chevy again. (mark my words)

It is big. It towers over a Suburban. I still have my GMC and probably will for a long time, its only 2 yrs old. My wife only goes 5 miles to work so she'll drive the Excursion. So far I'm averaging 11 mpg. Gonna change out all the fluids, filters, and plugs and see what happens. I dont have any other pics but this.

I go there too. I almost got banned so i dont go there that much. Plus since i got a diesel the powerstroke is better for me.

You going to put exhaust or anything on it?? Gonna put like a nice 4in lift with 37" super swampers??

LOL Nope! Wifey is just a little thing cmon! Besides if I had all that extra money I would have sprung for a diesel! I got it to pull the camper and get the better half to work, (but lift kits do look pretty cool so ya never know what ole snowman might do next).
