I really wish Ford would bring back the Excursion for families like this. It seems it would be the perfect vehicle in this situation. My son and I saw one the other days and were talking about what a shame it was they quite making them.

Agree Ford already has the platform to build it and people would by it.
I have a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited 4x4 7.3 diesel with around 103k on it and plan on taking this to my grave, best vehicle I have ever owned but I will say she is a garage queen and only comes out for towing and traveling, I have other vehicles for daily drivers as the Excursion can not be replaced if some idiot hits it.

I looked up the excursion and they seem really hard to find in good shape and in relatively miles. I came across one thst us roughly 45 minutes from me that has the 6.0 diesel in it has roughly 179k miles. They want 12500 but say that it needs some work they will do at a "discounted price" the truck from the pictures looks in really really shape. I emailed them about what issues it has and the "discounted price" to repair. Does that sound like a good deal I am very wary that it needs parts replaced and it has that many miles. But I have thought of doing something similar to what you said where I juat buy a "tow vechicle" that would be way cheaper than a newer car
