Anyone tow with a 04-05 Excursion diesel? Have you had any problems with the 6.0 engine, front end, brakes, electrical, trans, 4x4 system or any other issues? I am looking into buying a low mileage Ex...

I had a 2005 6.0 Diesel Ford Excursion. We did love the truck but ended up selling it for more then we paid for it when we decided to get rid of the loan payment.
We got ours up to about 80K miles. I had read all the 6.0 issues and luckily we never had any issues with the egr stuff.
if memory serves me well here is the list of items we fixed: front brakes twice, rear brakes once, alternator, both batteries, and one of the electric computers (FIC?)& oil changes every 5k miles.
Was actually a pretty great rig for us.
Note that a friend of mine has a 2004 Ford 350 with a 6.0 and just ended up with the full egr replacement, new heads, etc.....$8K and he is only around 100k miles. He knew about the 6.0 issues too. It just happens so fast and BOOM!
If you ''need'' a Ford Excursion for the seats I would get either the 7.3 Diesel older ones, the newest V10 4.3 geared one you could find.
Unless you find a really low mile, nice 6.0 Diesel one for a really great price. You are taking a gamble in my viewpoint.
