Excursion - Too many miles?
Hi all. Currently own a 2005 Ford Excursion, V10, with about 120K on the clock. All is stock from Ford. We currently tow a 25' TT that weighs 4500# dry (probably 6000# loaded). We have taken it out...

I'm casually looking for a V10 Excursion for my next tow vehicle. So here is my vote..
NO WAY... You need to trade that thing in on a New F350 crew cab gasser...
Then PM me where you traded it in at :)
I bought my last V10 with 135k miles and a few issues.. resolved the issues and then drove all over the southeast... driving and towing :)
Keep the Ex if it still pleases you... They don't make them like this anymore
Thanks!

Yep sounds like good advice for Jerem0621!!!!
If you have maintained it correctly, no worries, with the exception of the early Spark Plug issue, these are strong towing engines. I would be worried about the trans a bit more.
Have the transmission serviced now, so you can put some miles on it after the service. Pulling 6,000# for that engine is nothing you should be able to get twice that mileage out of that engine.
