Cochise here. You are not too far off base. There are no plans for an eight foot box on the Super Crew. While I have access to the specs and options there is no published pricing available at this time. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img]
Yea, Bobby and I both have more than just the Super Duty units at our disposal. Feel free to drop a line about other models of the Ford line to our personal e-mail. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/wink.gif[/img]

04 !!!!!!!!!!!! Yikes. I have been waiting 6 months now. I still "DON't " have a truck. I basically have waited nearly the entire model year for a truck - and still don't have one.

Well it only took 5 months to finally get mine. Pretty much 1/2 way through the model year. Seems like they should have given me an advance build of the 2004 instead.

Now be fair - yours was a 6-speed, wasn't it? They had a delay of a few months before they released those for production, so it's not like they'll all take 5 months now, or even that they intended to not have the 6-speed ready on time. Me, I'd much rather wait those extra months than be one of a chorus of people here going "my input shaft snapped!" or "my clutch grenaded!" (or whatever it was that Ford wanted to fix before releasing that combination.)

Cochise, this is great news for me and my wife, for we are planning on ordering are 04 Excursion in January 04, place a big down payment next year with tax refund. But we went to 3 different dealerships here in central lower Michigan and they both have told us that the 03' were it for the X. Any reason why they would tell me this? Please let me know, my wife and I dont want to miss out on our new excursion 6.0 Thanks Jerry

Yes.
1. They are stupid.
2. They want to sell you an '03 today, not an '04 9-12 months from now.
3. Car salesman are liars (no offense Cochise). That's what they do. That's how they earn their money.
Medic,
We were told the exact same thing, though I think it was an uniformed salesperson in this case. Elsewhere in this forum the date of June 04 was thrown out as the last possible order date for an 04 Excursion. This assumes a full production run. Just to be on the safe side, I think we'll be placing ours about a year from now.
The wife and I have decided to order now, we're getting rid of her Chevy. sub on June 6. We will be ordering next week and get it some time in late may early june. I just can't wait that long, Im getting excited about a more room for my 5 kids.
Cochise here. Where are you located I may be able to help you out. [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/rolleyes.gif[/img]
