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...

Too bad Ford didn't use the Torqshift on the 2005 model V10's (I understand the 6.0 diesels were so equipped), just a thought.!
It wouldn't have helped you on I-80, as 3-4-5 on the Torqueshift is the same as 2-3-OD on the 4R100 but it would have most likely helped on highway 89, where the Torqueshift has a lower 1st gear, and an extra "in-between" gear which the 4R100 really needs.
4.30 gears would really be your friend for lots of towing. There's reason the V10 gets an extra 5,000 pounds towing capacity with the deeper gears.
