Have you given any consideration to a 7.3 diesel Excursion? They are hard to find but they are out there. 2000-2003.25 MY had the 7.3 which many agree is a very good motor.

Seen a few 2000 Excursions for sale locally with the 5.9 Cummins conversion. One for sale locally is set up to run on veggie oil.
