Ford Excursion 2wd

I am looking at a Excursion that has the V-10 and 2 WD. I had an Excursion before and it was 4 WD. When I had that vehicle we lived in snow country and it made sense. But where I live now winter is just rainy weather.
I tow a 6000 pound trailer and with my current pick-up I rarely use the 4 WD.
This is a low milage SUV in really nice shape at a fair price, I am tempted but not sure about the 2 WD.
What do you think?

    I don't have any use for a 2wd truck, but if you don't think you'll find yourself needing 4wd, you should have no problems pulling a 6,000 lb travel trailer with a Ford Excursion.

    It would be more fun to watch the tach and gas gauge race in opposite directions, though, especially if that V-10 Excursion also has 4.30 gears. I'm pretty sure they were offered with 3.73 or 4.30, but perhaps not in the SUV, only in the pickup. Either way, it should pull fine, but I wouldn't be surprised if the mileage was pretty bad.
