The last winner Brandon Wells "bwells1782" in Arkansa with "0" feedback said he was hoping to sell his car after he won mine but just couldn't raise the money because he had to get his teeth fixed. "0" Bidders must contact me first before bidding. NO RESERVE This vehicle is in excellent running condition with new 285/75R16 Tires and a very tight and powerful drive train. This vehicle comes equipped with an electronic tow package and heavy duty shocks. The front end is tight and very maneuverable. There is a 6 CD changer in the glove box and room for a 7th CD in the radio. This vehicle comes with an ABS kill switch so that you can lock up all four wheels in the snow and or slippery conditions for fast all wheel stopping. The vehicle has a two year old Optimum Battery and the AC blows cold. There is a third row seat in great condition. Although they are not in the photos, I just installed two new complete front head light assemblies with signal lamps and side markers. The vehicle engine is well vented and the temperature gauge registers cool even on the hottest days with the A/C on full blast. I get an average of 10-11 mpg stop and go around town local driving and 12-13 mpg local highway between 50 - 55 mph. At 62 mph (long haul over the road highway on cruse only) I get 14 - 15 mpg with no hill climbing, towing or cargo. I get an average of 430 to 580 miles per 40 gallon fill up between highway and local traffic driving with no load or tow. There is a reported accident on this vehicle. I was involved in a light collision in Babylon L.I. on or about July of 2009, which only required the front bumper on my vehicle to be replaced and painted. I have the full damage report from my carrier to prove the small amount of damages I claimed. At that time I took the time to paint both the new bumper and the original grill in black. This is a very respectable vehicle for the highway mileage and it always gets comments. This is the last of the big SUV's. Don't wait for the snow to fall. I mounted the license plate on the rear left door with an LED lighted plate bracket after receiving a summons for my tow ball blocking my license plate. Good Luck Bidding EXCURSION HISTORY Shoppers looking for the largest sport utility vehicle in any showroom can still turn to Ford. The Excursion measures nearly 19 feet long — that's 21 inches longer than the company's full-size Expedition and more than 7 inches longer than its next closest rivals, the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL. Bigger isn't necessarily better, and sales of mammoth SUVs have tapered off. Ford had suggested that the massive Excursion might be dropped during 2004. But it earned a reprieve and continues into 2005 with new jeweled headlights, a fresh grille and bumper, and revised wheel choices. Excursions come in XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited trim levels and can be equipped with rear-wheel drive or four-wheel drive. The abundantly equipped Eddie Bauer model joined the Excursion lineup for 2003, when a new 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel engine that generates 325 horsepower and 560 pounds-feet of torque also became available. The diesel engine teams with a five-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. A 5.4-liter V-8 or a 6.8-liter V-10 gasoline engine can also power the Excursion. Exterior Traditional and oversized SUV styling cues include four side doors. Ford claims the Excursion's back doors are wider than those on the Suburban; this allows easier access to the middle and rear seats. The rear door features a tri-panel arrangement, which has a window on top that flips up and twin doors below that open to the sides. Aluminum wheels hold 16-inch tires. The Excursion rides a 137-inch wheelbase, stretches 226.4 inches long overall and has an 8.5-inch ground clearance. Lighted running boards are available. Interior The Excursion has a nine-passenger capacity, plus 48 cubic feet of cargo volume behind the rear seat. Split bench seats in the second row tip and fold forward to allow easier access to the third row. The rear bench is removable and rolls on built-in wheels. Cargo volume grows to 146 cubic feet with the rear seat removed and the middle bench folded; that space can carry a 4-by-8-foot plywood sheet. Wireless headphones are included with an optional DVD entertainment system. Under the Hood Three engines are available. A 255-hp, 5.4-liter V-8 is standard on rear-drive models. A 310-hp, 6.8-liter V-10 that delivers 425 pounds-feet of torque is standard in four-wheel-drive models and optional in 4x2s. Both of these engines team with a four-speed-automatic transmission. The 325-hp Power Stroke 6.0-liter diesel V-8 mates with a five-speed-automatic transmission. Towing capacity is as high as 11,000 pounds with the V-10 and diesel engines. Safety Antilock brakes are standard, but side-impact airbags are not available. A reverse-sensing system can be installed. Driving Impressions Drive an Excursion, and you're in a truck, period. Expect the typical engine and transmission drone found in trucks, coupled with ride quality that bears little resemblance to a passenger car. The Power Stroke diesel engine performs admirably, but it enhances the sensation of being in a full-fledged truck. The diesel-powered version manages to climb some steep grades but at a leisurely pace.
