LADIES and GENTLEMAN!.... to put this to rest, i will admit, i was WAY off thinking it weighed a whopping 8600.... Please see the videos below... these scales are certified once a week i was told BY STATE law, any dis belief, ill provide the # to the place, (acadiana shell and limestone in lafayette, louisiana... ) enjoy!

 

Again, as I said before...

Then your bumper weighs in at about 800#'s... Because Chelseas Excursion weighs in on 37's at 8200#s...

A stock height, stock bumper'ed Ex is not going to weigh over 7500#'s...

But I am glad you proved yourself right.

 

Three post back your wifes excursion weighed 7600 full of fuel...now it's 8200? YOU wanted me to weigh it so I did end of story.. il be honest I crapped a brick when I saw the weight...

 

Mine weighs 8600 on the scales at the dump......I'll knock off a couple hundred for my fat ***.....and the gear I have in it.....if I unloaded all the crap in it it would be around 8200 I am guessing

 

Got one! 2002 psd excursion sorry cant go one much one of the few with a busy job(blessing and a curse)

 

Good news, bad news time - You guys are going to be mad at me... I sold mine. That's the bad news. The good news is I'll be buying another one sometime after the new year.

 

It was too tall wasn't it ?

 

I guess you could say that. I think it's really a ride quality issue. It's a great looking truck, but you look like a jack bouncing down the road all the time. I put a cup of coffee in the cup holder one time and half of it was gone when I got to work. That was fun to clean up. Forget giving the kids snacks or drinks in it.

Trying to convert to 4 link and coils is an expensive road to take ($10K) and trying to revert back to a semi-stock height is too ($5.5K) I'll start with a fresh truck and find some kind of compromise between height, ride quality and cost. As for this animal, she gets picked up tomorrow and is headed out of state.

Don't the 2003+ Excursion have OEM 4 links on the front? That might be a good starting point. I know they have the 6.0's that everone seems to hate but I've read they can be good solid engines with a few things removed and a few others beefed up - that true?



Any how - Wife is happy, kids are pissed - I can live with that. At least I can enjoy my coffee in the morning driving my F150 with out losing a drop.

 

I have a 02 X. love it!!
