Big wheels/tires are a tow rating killer too.

Love the excursion! Wish they still made them with the newer generation body styles and interiors. That one looks decent and i bet it willQuote:

Been looking at these. Did you buy a 6.0 with the motor work done? The internet has stories about once they are 'bullet-proofed' it is one of the best motors out there.Quote:

So this one has 190k on factory head gaskets and bolts. I have the full service history, it was only worked on by Tomball ford it’s whole life. We’re the 2nd owner.
Yes, once they’re bullet proofed, it’s a great engine. Tuning back in the day was the big 6.0 killer, advanced timing is what lifted the heads. There’s much better stand alone tuning nowadays for factory 6.0’s. But this one has never been tuned, the HPOP and injectors were changed a few back and it’s got a coolant filtration system on it with the EGR deleted. I figure if it’s never had major surgery by now, I’m not gonna do anything to hurt it.
However, I do have $5k standing by just incase! Lol
Just change the oil every 5k miles, coolant every 2 years and it should run forever. The 6.0 was one of the best towing engines of all time.

2nd owner on a 2005 with all service recs? Awesome.
I need to do some research on the prices depending on what work has been done. There is an 2004 6.0 Eddie near me asking 16k. Interior and exterior look good, not sure about the service, maintenance, or number of owners. Need to get more info.
Appears on the higher-end, but you get what you pay for. My thoughts were the same, buy it at a price knowing I might take the add'l 5k hit.

Exactly... for the shape this one was in I paid almost $20k. All new interior, it’s super clean. One of the few that didn’t have over 300k miles in my area. Most of the other ones I was looking at were closer to $30k. No way I was gonna pay that for a used vehicle lol
Got a couple shots of the new tow pig with the boat. Also got a BW adjustable hitch for Christmas to get the trailer just right. https://uploads.tapatalk-cdn.com/202...2c05737bf4.jpg

funny everyone mentions the excursion. bored at home the other day and caught an episode of diesel brothers. they can't say enough about the excursions. their recommendation tho was pre-04 to get the 7.3 powerstroke. said it's one of the best motors around. not a diesel guy so I really don't know a lot about them but they are not the first ones to say that. episode I picked up on had the excursion was their yearly contest giveaway rig. cali car they paid 22k for with big wheels/tires(like brokes), fox shox and a solid interior. didn't talk mileage but they didn't do much to the engine so assuming it was lower mile. sounds like broke is on the right path to have a stash in the event of some needed maintenance.Quote:

just sold the f250 the guy that owned my house prior left me. he moved to cali and couldn't take the rig with him so he told me to sell it. cars here in vegas sure do depreciate a ton. '95 f250 excab long bed. decent shape. 100,275 on the clock. all stock. 460v8 and 2wd. needs a rear main but otherwise runs great and is clean-bed only ever had rainwater in it :) all I could get out of it was $1700. took over a month to sell and only 2 lookers. towed his 30ft bayliner sleepaboard fine.
Love the colors of the rig. May I suggest black and blue stripes along the side of the F-150 to tie it all together! It would look even sweeter. I got my truck to match my boat, now upgrading to a supra SL and had to order the same colors as the Mojo to make sure it matched the truck.Quote:
