Olay after a couple days of searching I think I narrowed my choices to the following.
05 Excursion 6.0 Turbo Diesel 4x4 with 170k, with a 2015 F250 front end. Very clean, and I have a shop lined up to do bulletproofing if I go this route. I love the look of this truck and it is not lifted so I am expecting a better ride than my old lifted 7.3 on 37 in tires.
OR
09 Suburban 2500 LT 4x4 with 119K. Also very clean, but I am worried the 6.0 will be really slow fully loaded with people and pulling the trailer. But I do like the "car" like ride. Interior is leaves much to be desired in terms of quality.
Coming from the 7.3 Excursion I think I am more inclined to pick up another newer model especially with the newer front end. It will cost me an additional 5k to "bulletproof" the motor, but I think it will last a lot longer than the Suburban.
Any advice which route I should go Doing some research, the excursion has some lower payload capacity compared to the Suburban is that correct? Any input would be great!
