e-350 vs Excursion for towing TT?
We've currently got an e-350 Super Duty passenger van (12 seats) with the 5.4 L engine. Our TT is 6,100 dry weight with a length of appr. 30 feet, but we have 6 small kids so we will need to pack some...

The excursion and E-350 probably have close to the same GVWR, but I think that the Excursion will have a higher curb weight, especially if the Excursion is 4X4. That one option adds about 500 pounds curb weight!
Also as your family grows, then you will be longing for the room found inside the E-350. It is SO much larger inside, much taller, and more legroom for the growing kids. Also the E-350 can seat 11-15 total, depending on the number of seats inside. While your towing capacity on the E-350 is limited by the smallish 5.4L V8, because yours does not have the V10 or 5 speed transmission... But still the 5.4L is a really strong engine. In the trucks, it will make 300 HP, but is limited in the E-350 due to overheating and the small engine compartment.
For your lightweight trailer, the E-350 will work great!
Good luck,
Fred.
