This is just an awesome Excursion. I looked everywhere for the right 7.3 and finally found it. I bought it locally from a friend who owns a dealership/body shop. It has been a blast to own and drive daily, but my business is expanding and I need a different vehicle to hit the road. If you are looking for an adventure-ready 7.3 where all the big expensive stuff has already been done for you, this is it!

The venerable and much-sought-after 7.3 is stock and strong. It runs clean with no blowback or other issues...this has been confirmed by 3 diesel mechanics (one of whom is the Ford diesel guru in this area). Just breaking in at 167k and has many, many more miles to go. It has never been modded...though a 4-inch exhaust, cold-air intake, and tune would make this thing scream...or get great mileage...your call.

The body is beautiful. Straight and stable with no wrecks or dings. It has none of the rust issues that plague many other Ex's. I cannot tell you how many of them I looked at that were buyer-worthy except that they were rusting out. This is the least-rusty Ex that I have ever seen. Check out the pics of the underbody. I had a Yakima rack on it and would highly recommend one over the stock setup as it inherently rubs the top like sandpaper...but I've included the stock rack in the back of the truck anyway.

This Excursion is purpose-built to carry you and your family through just about anything. It is a functional beast with over $18,000 invested the following upgrades:

New black paint - $2000
New black painted to match badges - $100
New black painted to match front grille - $150
New MB rims and Nitto Trail Grappler M/T's - $3500
New Fabwright 3" lift - $2500
New Rancho shocks - $500
New headlights - $300
New taillights - $200
New side mirrors (auto-adjustable from inside) - $250
New Rigid Industries LED fog lights - $500
New GoLight with dash-mount control and wireless remote control - $600
New Ranch Hand front bumper replacement/grill guard -$1500
New Ranch Hand rear bumber replacement - $1000
New genuine leather seat material (under your butt) - $600
New matching Husky Liners floor mats - $500
New GEM module - $300
New batteries - $300
New transmission rebuild - $2500
New valve wiring harness - $750

I have 100% eBay feedback for a reason. I treat buyers as I would want to be treated. One of the most frustrating things when I was Excursion shopping was driving forever to look at a "like-new" truck that turned out to be anything but. Though this Excursion is in amazing condition compared to most others out there, it does have some inevitable signs of being 13-years old. In full disclosure, I have taken pictures of all superficial wear...I prefer for you to be completely informed and wish to prevent any unpleasant surprises. If you are interested in this truck, please feel free to contact me for those and other additional photos.

In addition, these are the only noteworthy issues that I intended to fix them but never got around to it:

The window function is spotty because the actuators (and maybe fuses) need to be replaced. This is a common problem with Fords of this period and an easy fix...my mechanic quoted me $200 for having them done all way around.
The front windshield has 2 substantial cracks and could stand to be replaced.
The rear windshield wiper doesn't function properly all the time. Another common problem with Fords of this period and another easy fix (probably another fuse issue).
The rear hatch doesn't lock. Another common problem with Fords of this period and another easy fix (local Ford dealership said they could fix it for $50).
The screw which holds the plastic steering box together was missing from the beginning. There's currently a little gap which will close right up when it's replaced. My guess is less than $10?
The CD player doesn't play CD's. Radio and everything else functions fine. This never bothered me as I never use CD's.
No spare tire. It didn't come with one. I intended to roof-mount one but never got around to it.

If you're looking for a beast of a 7.3 Excursion that is still road-worthy, I don't believe you will find many as nice as this. Or if you're looking for an amazing zombie-apocalypse base camp, I don't believe you will find many as worthy as this. A lot of time, energy, and money has gone into it. If you're looking at this ad, you probably already know how rare and special this one is. My goal is for the buyer to take ownership and be pleasantly surprised by its condition based on my information. Please feel free to contact me for anything other than lowball offers. God bless and good luck bidding!

Oh yeah, I reserve the right to end this auction early in the case of a local sale.

Ford dominates most-stolen SUV list

Tue, 17 Jun 2014

The Ford Escape leads the NICB's list with 1,421 examples stolen.
If you drive a recent Ford SUV or crossover, you may want to keep a watchful eye out for thieves - especially if you live in the New York metro area or in Detroit. A new study from the National Insurance Crime Bureau has named three Ford models as the most likely vehicles in their genre to be stolen, with CUVs in general being especially attractive to bandits.

2015 Ford Mustang Convertible makes inappropriate appearance in Detroit [w/video]

Tue, 14 Jan 2014

With the polar vortex fresh in the minds of Autoblog's Detroit-based staff, we're finding it funny that any manufacturer would choose January in the Motor City to show off a new and highly anticipated convertible to the general media and public for the first time. But Ford has done just that, giving us our first real peek at the new Mustang Convertible in the flesh.
The new Mustang Convertible is more or less unchanged from the standard coupe, with some subtle styling tweaks to accommodate the retractable soft top. Engine and transmission choices are identical to the hardtop, although we should expect slightly lower performance due to the hardware for the roof. Like the coupe, neither prices nor performance metrics have been published yet for the convertible.

2014 Ford Transit unveiled in Chassis Cab and Cutaway versions

Fri, 08 Mar 2013

As a leader in commercial vehicles here in the US, we knew Ford wouldn't take too long to show off the chassis cab and cutaway versions of its 2014 Ford Transit van. Set to go on sale this fall, Ford already revealed the full-body version of the Transit, and now it has pulled the cover off exposed-frame models just in time to to compete against the all-new Ram Promaster.
The term "chassis cab" refers to models with a fully enclosed cabin used for box vans or rental trucks, while cutaway models leave the cabin open behind the B-pillars for a pass-through on vehicles such as Class C motorhomes or ambulances. Both will offer three wheelbase options (138, 156 and 178 inches), the choice of single or dually rear axles, and plenty of upfitter-friendly touches including a pre-wired body harness and multiple body mount locations.
The new design will also help make upfitting a little easier since the fuel filler is now built into the cab (just behind the driver's door). Those integrated fuel filler necks will serve to feed either a 3.7-liter V6, a 3.5-liter EcoBoost V6, or a 3.2-liter Power Stroke diesel. Transit chassis cab and cutaways will wear varying Gross vehicle weight ratings from 9,000 pounds to 10,360 pounds depending on spec.
