People tend to claim that the Excursion with the diesel is the best towing SUV ever. My 2002 2500 Suburban with the 8.1 liter engine has a higher cargo capacity and a higher tow rating than that Excursion. While the diesel is a plus the ratings are a minus IMO.
I agree, and essentially why I chose the burb over the X in 2001...after spending too much time reading on here about ratings, I wanted the highest GVWR and GCWR I could get. Also the torsion bar front suspension makes for a smoother ride than the solid axle on the Ford. I had no desire for a diesel at the time, but in hindsight the 7.3 might have been a good choice.
Nothing against the 8.1. It is a great engine. But is't not a diesel.
I had a 7.3 PSD X. I never wish for anything else... OK maybe a better transmission!
