Any other Ford EXCURSION TV's out there?

I'm towing my 2013 Forrest River 30WIKSS with a 2000 Ford Excursion 2wd 7.3 Diesel. Have the rear Timbren SES, Hellwig rear sway bar and a EAZ Lift Trekker WDH. Am I all alone here? Would love to see your setup! Couldn't get a pic to load of my rig....

I love my F250, however Excursions are badass. I wish Ford still made them.

Hell to the yeah! 7.3 Exy's for the win! Does everything a truck does, expect pull a 5ver. You would have a better chance of buying one of my kids off me than my Excursion. I mean... honestly... push come to shove, I can always have another kid. 7.3 Exy's are getting pretty rare.

P.S. You got a 2003-2006 grill on yours? I refuse to change the grill. The egg-crate grill is a trademark of the exy.

If Ford still made diesel expeditions I'd have a bumper pull instead of a fifth wheel.

There is a company out there making 250 and 350 into excursions. For some reason I think someone on here got one or was getting one months ago.

You mean Excursion, not Expedition, right? Ford never made a diesel expedition as far as I know.

I almost considered selling the Exy and getting a truck, as I really fell in love with the Columbus 320RS fifth wheels floorplan. I really lusted after the rear living room with slides on both sides. Then I found out that there is a bumper-pull with just about the same floorplan and I poured all over it like maple syrup. I gave up the under-the-bedroom storage, but at least I got to keep my truck.

I love my dually and my 5er, but I still miss my Ex. it wasn't a diesel but a V10 pulled great and we could take 3 other couples out on the town. We dubbed it the Rednek Limo.
