Congrats on the new to you truck. Couple of things, might check those tires to make sure they are E rated tires. Second if you can't learn when tranny was last serviced plan on doing that.
I had a V10 in a 2000 Excursion that we loved. Pulled a 10000 lb TT with it. Was an awesome towing machine. Ours had the 4.30 gears in it. Installed a SCT tuner from 5Star Tunning and WOW!!!!! It was like the truck lost 500 lbs.
Any way I think you made a wise choice. This truck should serve you well. Expect 7-8 mpg towing. Good luck, John
P.S. I don't think truck is lifted. Sits about where my 2003 does.
