Ford updated the chassis with the 2006 model year but a 2006 coach you could have a 2005 chassis under it. The noticeable change will be the 'Tow/Haul' selector on the end of the gear shift and the corresponding dash indicator. The older transmission was 'OD On/Off'.
Exactly. It is a chasis model year 2005 per the mfg label. The transmission has the tow haul which means to me it is equipped with the torkshift transmission. Does that mean that it has the higher hp V10?
My 2005 Excursion has the venerable 4R100 with the OD light on the stalk. The V10 in the Ex is the 310 hp version.
I haven't personally confirm but I think the three valve also updated the throttle from mechanical to electronic. Pull the dog house and inspect the throttle body for a throttle wire going back to the gas pedal. No wire-three valve. Also missing would be a mechanical cruise control throttle linkage and the linkage at the top of the gas pedal. The VIN is still your best source as to chassis configuration.
