2003 Ford Excursion Limited, V10, Lifted 37s on 2040-cars

Year:2003 Mileage:80000
Location:

Harvest, Alabama, United States

Harvest, Alabama, United States

This is my ONE owner Excursion with less than 80k miles.  I purchased it in Alabama and have lived here the entire time.  Everything works as it should, nothing needs to be fixed.  Rear passenger brake caliper has slow seep from banjo bolt.  Recent 2500 mile trip resulted in loss of a couple ounces tops.  Haven't bothered doing anything to it.  No leaks elsewhere.

This vehicle has been well maintained.  Oil changes every 2500-3500 miles with Motorcraft 5w-20.  All other fluids have been changed at least once.  New fuel filter twice.  New Battery in 2013.  The rear expansion valve was replaced in early 2012 and AC system was recharged.  Both front and rear systems work perfectly.  Brakes have never been changed and probably could be but they stop well and make no noise at this moment.  The truck was lifted in 2004 and 35s were installed.  The rear end was changed in 2009 from 3.73s to 4.56s.  Mileage dropped a little but acceleration improved and made it more fun to drive.  Gears were broken in for 500 miles and the fluid was changed and tolerances checked.  No noise nor problems.  I had a flat tire and changed the rears to used 37s, but the front are still 35s.  It is 2WD so tire difference is not an issue.  Then I got new tires all around, still 35s in front and 37s in rear.  37s will not clear in front without cutting or more lift.  Tires have less than 10k miles.

Truck has a 5gal air tank, pump and Triple Horn Train Horns.  Horn is switched with stock horn operated by OEM horn switch.  OEM radio has been removed and everything upgraded.  Polk separates and an Orion (old school) sub installed.  The HCCA amp got tired and an Alpine was installed but the Orion SX still powers the rest of speakers.  In dash DVD  with rear AV IN/out is also installed for Game Systems or more Monitors.  It also has a 400W inverter installed near amps for power to monitors and game systems.

I changed all 10 plugs and boots before it hit 70k.  Didn't change COPs but rotated the back 2 as they see more heat and fail first.  Might help prevent that issue.

Truck was involved in a minor crash on April Fools day (in 2005 I think) where someone idles into the rear bumper.  Damage was less than $500 and it was never repaired.  Can barely see little dent in drivers rear bumper near reverse sensor.  No other accidents.  All reverse sensors work and has receiver installed as all of them do.  I have a hitch mounted spare carrier and a spare 35" tire.  I have a couple spare 37s if wanted as well, no extra rims.  One rim has damage from the flat but is only cosmetic.  A run away shopping cart or something hit passenger door.  No abrasion to paint but has a small dent/imperfection.  Has only one door ding as it is never parked near other vehicles without taking 2 spots.  Ding is standard door ding and located near fuel fill door.  It has a Flowmaster Super 40 single in dual out muffler with dual 5" tips.  Carpet has always been covered with mats and is close to new.  No mods to engine or trans.  Most of the standard black plastic has been covered with Line X.  Running boards, grill guard, lower front valance, rear lift glass plastic and wiper, rear plastic bumper cover.  It could use a refresh as is not perfect, but better than grey.  Windows tinted all around.

I might have forgotten something but listed all the bad. Truck gets driven rarely so mileage will increase.  I use it mainly as a travel vehicle and will drive it anywhere without worry.  In 2013 we drove it to SD twice and to FL once.  Can help with delivery for price of gas and return flight if needed.  Excursion gets a consistent 10-11 mpg in the city and 12-14 on the road.  You may get a little better on the road as I always set cruise at 9 over.  Was forced to do 60mph for about 100 miles and it returned almost 16mpgs.  I can take any pics you need, just ask.  I might have left something out so ask away.

We spy the Ford Mustang King Cobra early at SEMA

Tue, 04 Nov 2014

As is the case with most auto shows, waiting for the reveal of hot new models is the worst part. So, while our own Drew Phillips has been wandering the halls here in Las Vegas since they unlocked the doors for SEMA 2014, we didn't expect him to come back with any big reveals until later in the day. Until this happened.
Meandering by the Ford stand, Phillips eagle-eyed a trunk lid that caught his attention. Popping out from an otherwise draped 2015 Mustang, the matte black lid clearly has the name King Cobra embossed on the rear.
That name is interesting for a few reasons: to start, Ford hasn't used the Cobra name (without "Jet" attached) since way back in 2004, so a new snake is certainly something to take note of. Second, the King Cobra name dates all the way back to the ill-remembered Mustang II, meaning there is a clear link to Blue Oval history here.

Ford Fiesta ST gets worked out on the track

Sun, 10 Mar 2013

We're big fans of the turbocharged Ford Focus ST, and we're plenty excited that the Blue Oval will be offering a similar treatment on the smaller Fiesta here in the United States, too. We first saw the production-ready Fiesta ST five-door at the Los Angeles Auto Show last fall, and Ford has now released this video of a Euro-spec three-door ST being flung around the track.
But not just any track - the challenging Track 7 of Ford's Lommel Proving Grounds in Belgium. The course features 20 turns and plenty of elevation changes along its 2.7-mile loop, and David Put, a vehicle dynamic specialist at Ford, shows just how good the pint-sized Fiesta ST is at handling the lot, even getting the smallest ST up on three wheels every now and then.
It sure does look like a lot of fun, and makes us really eager for our chance to try this ourselves. Scroll down to see the hot little Ford getting busy.
