Video: We Bought The Most Amazingly Awesome & Incredibly Terrible SUV Ever!

2000 ford excursion 4x4 4wd v10

What could be most awesome and incredibly terrible at the same time? We think it’s this SUV we recently purchased for an upcoming video series – “Go Big!” It is a 2000 Ford Excursion 4×4. Yep, one of the biggest, roomiest, and heaviest SUVs ever to roll on earth.

The Excursion is built on a Ford Super Duty chassis. This bad boy could seat up to nine people (when equipped with a front bench seat). It can tow up to 10,000 lbs when equipped with a diesel, but ours is packing a 6.8-liter gasoline V10 under the hood. Yes, it has a heavy truck (or a Ford motorhome V10 engine) and the fuel economy to match it. We are getting close to 10 MPG on a good day.

We purchased it for $8,000. It is NOT in perfect condition. It ended up being a great deal, considering that many other Excursions go for $15,000, $20,000, or more.

In this very detailed video, Tommy shows off our newest purchase and drives it at our Tumbleweed Ranch.
