. . . on a new tow vehicle. 2002 Ford Excursion Limited. V-10, 4.10 rear, 2WD. It's a southern cream puff with 140,000 miles and not a speck of rust. Going to need ball joints and a front wheel bearing but it's good to go! Has new plugs, coils, breaks, alternator and battery.

Quite interesting...

My 99 V10 with 3.73 gears was a beast and could pull at any speed my heart desires. 🙂

Sometimes I was at 4,500-5,000 RPM but it would pull that all day long.

7.5 MPG...that was no fun though.

Thanks!

Congrats on the V10 EX! It will serve you well!

I miss my V10 in my old f350...really good manners as an unloaded vehicle and a heck of a towing motor. I've been really considering a V10 excursion. Great Truck!!!

Thanks!

Sounds like a very nice truck, congrats! 🙂

I always liked the Excursion. My neighbor has an '02 4wd with the 7.3 diesel. I drool when I go by his house!

I took first long trip with my v10 and it did great. Strong and quiet. You'll enjoy it. Happy camping

Congratulations on your new rig. You'll like that V10, it's a real workhorse. I had one in my 99 F-250 pulling a 5 th wheel. It never let me down.
