For Sale….. 2005 Ford Excursion Limited, 4x4, 6.0 Powerstroke Turbo Diesel, Automatic with 189,8xx Miles. Black with Tan Leather Interior, Equipped with standard “Limited” options, including: Alloy wheels, fog lights, keyless entry, roof rack, running boards, tilt steering, cruise control, power windows and door locks, power mirrors, power adjustable and heated driver and front passenger seats, 3rd row bench seats (removable to make a huge storage space capable of fitting a twin mattress), factory stereo (AM/FM, 6 CD changer), rear climate control, rear radio control, DVD player/TV Monitor, adjustable driver pedals, trailer hitch and trailer tow package.
Per the previous seller (Auto Livery Fairfield, OH), it has been “bulletproofed” with ERG delete, arp head studs, and php tune.
Currently perform routine maintenance and service, as needed (e.g., calipers, rotors, tires, batteries (2), oil changes, serpentine belt radiator, shocks/struts, etc) and diagnostics at Carmichael Truck & Auto of Bloomington.
Cosmetically, it shows its age. Has a few chips in the paint but the body is straight and shows decently well. Has underneath rust in typical Excursions areas. The frame shows visible scaling and age-related rust. It is NOT a rust- free vehicle and the price reflects that. Underside photos provided for transparency. It runs great and can pull a large trailer, RV, boat, toy hauler, small house and about anything else. I use it as my reliable camping rig/ long-haul road tripper. I’ve driven 25,000 miles in it since purchasing it in June 2020 (more than a few trips to National Parks out west, annual GSMNP camping trips with friends, and quarterly family excursions to PCB in Florida). It is a beast, but it is not perfect. If you are looking for a perfect, fully restored Excursion, this isn’t it. If you want an honest, running Excursion which drives well, this is your opportunity.
Here are the things that I am aware of which don’t work as intended:
• Fuel gauge inoperable – I use trip odometer to know when to fill it up. This is a relatively new issued and occurred on my second to last trip to FL.
• Overhead compass/temperature cluster near rearview mirror is inoperable – never worked since I have owned it.
• Rear window wiper works, but it is loud and slow.
• Passenger seat power control (heats as it should, but it no longer moves seat forwards and back). Not sure when this first occurred.
• Check engine light turns on intermittently – per Carmichael Truck & Auto this is an active code P0299 related to VG Turbo Charger “Underboost”. I would note that I have never had any problems with the acceleration in this beast.
Asking $9,000. Clean Indiana title in hand. Call or text for more info or schedule a test drive. Located in Ellettsville/West Bloomington, IN about 55 min south of Indianapolis.
