Re: new excursion limited v10
For the guys that live in the "Flatlands" the torgue of the Diesel may not relly matter but, The hills in Ky,Tenn,So Ohio The grunt of a diesel is really needed. I can run the whole state of Fla. at 75mph with the cruise on nothing to it..From Tenn on up it works it's azz off.
Not to mention at 100k The diesel is just coming out of warranty |

Lets do some math based on some of Trouty's findings V10 14mpg Hwy Diesel 18mpg Hwy Current Gas Price (Tampa) $2.30 Current Diesel Price (Tampa) $2.65 Cost of gas based on 100,000 miles $16428.00 Cost of Diesel based on 100,000 miles $14722.00 Diesel Cost Savings over Gas $ 1706.00 ( Based on 100,000mi) Diesel Option cost over V10 $5100.00 Net Loss for Diesel $3394.00 5 year old resale on Ford Diesel Truck (NADA) $19075.00 5 year old resale on V10 Truck $15500.00 Difference $3575.00 Net Net Cost savings of owning a Diesel truck over gas (5 years/100000mi = $181 This does not include Additional cost in maintance etc......... So one must ask is it that much of a difference, and how many of us actually keep a truck that long? It is way easier to sell a Diesel. Dan |
