Driving a new pickup truck in 2023 is a strange experience.

Anyway, there was […]
The Ford Excursion was only sold for a single generation from 2000 through 2006. It was a full sized heavy duty Class 2 SUV built on Ford’s F250 Super Duty platform and a direct competitor to GM’s Suburban SUV. The Suburban survived the early 2000s gas price crisis and the 2008 carpocalypse, but the Excursion went into the history books and the used car lots around the planet. Today we’ve got an Excursion that isn’t just the mean (and not at all green) Triton V10 powered version, but it is also 4X4 and converted into a limousine setup. Find this 2003 Ford Excursion XLT V10 Limo bidding for $5,100 in Binghampton, NY via carsandbids.com.

Remember that Toyota 22R powered Mercedes-Benz 240D that we posted the other day…that was a strange car…really weird, but I think we’ve discovered where the engine from the Merc ended up…but for the universe not to end in a divide by zero error, there has to be a Toyota pickup with a Ford engine for […]

People routinely ask me the best car for their particular situation and transportation needs. They typically ignore my well thought out advice and go buy some overpriced pile of depreciation from the first dealer lot they drunk-walk into (oooh…it smells newwwww) but that doesn’t matter because I will continue to dole out unheeded advice like […]
