Anyone tow with a 04-05 Excursion diesel? Have you had any problems with the 6.0 engine, front end, brakes, electrical, trans, 4x4 system or any other issues? I am looking into buying a low mileage Ex...

I had both a 2000 V10 Excursion with the 4.30 gears which I traded in for a 2005 6.0 Diesel Excursion.
Both had plenty of power for hauling 8K enclosed trailers or loaded up 10K dump trailer.
The V10 downshifted every hill but pulled like a son of a gone. The Diesel just pulled it better on the HWY.
For a 8K trailer either one worked just fine.
The V10 with no trailer would get 14mpg at the speed limit. The 6.0 Diesel could knock close to 18/19mpg.
I ended up selling the 2005 Excursion and my 2005 Dodge Ram 3500 to get my current truck and upgrade our Truck Camper.
Still really miss having the Excursions around.
Lately I have been actually looking at craigslist trying to find one I can pay cash for. Likely a V10 model.
