New Excursion

Took Delivery of my new X last week and so far no problems to report. I am very pleased so far.Much better than my last X [2000 LTD V-10]. 40% better gas milage and more power.The ride is much improved with better handling and tighter suspension.

Congratulations on the new X! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]

Is that a 4x4 or a 4x2?

So your first assignment it to go see how badly you can get it stuck in the mud, take some pictures and post them! (then spent the next 5 hours cleaning and waxing! [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smile.gif[/img] )

Congrats on the new purchase.

Re: New Excursion

Congrats from me too! I think you will love the PSD a lot better than the V-10. As far as getting the X stuck, I have had mine burried to the axles three times pulling my buddies 99 F-350 out. I have had to pull out another buddies F-350 twice in the snow, and have yet to get mine stuck [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/warmsmile.gif[/img].My buddy who keeps getting stuck in the mud is now ready to trade his truck for an X [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/biggrin.gif[/img]!

Re: New Excursion

I love my X too, but believe me you can stick one, I stuck it bad last weekend in red clay mud and it took some real engineering to get it out. Man this X is heavy. I will add that I am not the best in 4 wheel drive conditions, and someone who is might not have gotten stuck....

Re: New Excursion

That would mean it would get dirty. Can't have that.
