    Because I get bored and want something new all the time. I ended up trading the Excursion to get my 59 Galaxie back

      We won't be doing any towing to speak of, maybe light trailers, a small boat. So I'd it still worth it to go diesel vs gasser?
      What years to stay away from? Years recommended?
      Looking to spend 6-8k.
      Specs on said Cherokee? You keeping or selling?

        Not sure where the buy a big ass vehicle is coming from but ok.
        Not yet. We are still on between on exactly what we wanna get and waiting for the right truck/price.

        As far as the jeep goes. It's just your average 4.5in/33s with a locker in the back. She wants me to sell it.. But I fighting it.

          our '02 4x4 7.3 lariat has about 160k on it. We put 130k of those on it. things to watch. front brake rotors warp from the weight. proper wheel torquing helps this. need more torque than the f250 of same year. 15 qts of oil every 5000 miles. fuel filter/water separator every 10k. trans filter every 30k. keep a spare camshaft position sensor and 10 mm wrench in the glove box. I replaced the leaf springs with f 250 springs V codes on the front and B codes on the rear. To try and fit it into garages, Ford decided to put shorter/softer springs on the Xs. hit the bump stops frequently and swayed like a B***. With that said , my wife will not drive anything else. We can pack 3 kids, ourselves, and all our crap for weeks at a time and head up the dirt roads and passes in the ouchita and ozark national forests. Drivent through flooded low water bridges, sloppy muddy fields, dirt 'roads' etc. without concern.

            consider an 07-09 Escalade. They are great family trucks. If you are just using it as a family truxter with occasional tow, get a 5.3L Suburban with the 6spd auto. should be fine.

            Excursion is just a step up in everything, especially in maintenance costs, let alone fuel costs.

            keep it simple.

              Besides the fuel mileage, why all the hate on the V10? We have a V10 3/4 ton work truck with minimal issues and honestly the mileage isn't much worse than all of our 6.0 GM trucks.

              Personally if I had a family and needed the room it would be a Yukon or Yukon XL with the 5.3L.

                I don't think its really think it's the v10 but more the SUV. But put in a f250 and it's great. I still like the excursion tho.

                  I honestly think a Tahoe/Yukon/Suburban is your game, dude. You have 3 kids, not 30. Shit, if you didn't care about towing, a crossover with third row seating would be an even better option.

                    Only reason I'd tow is Cus it won't fit in the back and a trailer would handle that duty. I have access to three trailers if and when I need one plus I'll probly end up buying a small one for said duty.



                    So yeah no excursion in my future.

                      That being said. What's the most miles one should except. I'd like to stay round 100k but 150k wouldn't scare me

                          could be tough finding one with only 100k. the 7.3 rigs are now 10-12 years old in most cases. Mine has 160k on it and I never think twice but I've kept up with the maintenance. Expect to start water pump, alternator and suspension work and replacement around the 125-150k mark so if you find one that has under 20k but recent replacements, Id leave it in the 'consider' column

                            Lol sorry. That was meant towards the suburban or Tahoe.

                              A friend of mind fit 3 car seats in a kia sorento (barely but they fit). If you cant fit them in an expedition or suburban you're doing something wrong.

                                We can fit 3 car seats in our jeep at the moment too.. It's tight, but doable. But with 3 boys we want extra room for more comfort and less screaming and fighting.
