No known kids, but when we do trade shows or other events need every square inch of Excursion room. For hauling as well as three Rottweilers, cant find better. This will be only the second vehicle I've kept over 3 years besides my other discontinued perfect winter car not able to replace,1989 BMW 325IX. Drove that until it died and I plan to do the same with Excursion......

If someone were to make an SUV specialty vehicle it should be an Excursion type SUV with a dually rear. I have to believe that there would be people who would buy that?

I have a 2000 diesel. Only problem is I have to turn the rotors often. It tows my 28 Sunsation with no problems.

I've had 2 and loved them. Max towing is 9,500 LBS. Over that and you're illegal.

No. You can not load an excursion up enough to need the dual wheels w/o an open pick up bed. If you do need them, chances are you are towing heavier than the ex can, and theres plenty of crew cab dually's out there. Not to mention how weird it would look.

Also, with the Ex you can not use a 5th wheel/goose neck hitch, so you will have one heavy tag trailer if you need the dual rear wheels.

But, for the under 9klb rating, its the perfect truck. Lots of room for people, and dry cargo storage. Also great for quad/dirtbike trips.. can haul the people, and all the toys.

I had a dually Suburban and I've seen dually Excursions. All you need to dually pickup extensions, some parts underneath and some fabrication time. The dually Sub towed sweet- it was very stable. Up until this recent body change, a couple of converters were still doing them- don't know if they stil are after the change.

It's not so much the loaded weight, it's all that lateral stability.

I do understand the lateral stability.. towing the same 10k mini-excavator with my truck, then an f-450 was night and day difference. I have seen the older conversions to, in all of their weirdness.

I think the first step would be putting a diesel back in these from the factory.. then maybe a dually . BTW, there is a company that puts the duramax into 01-06 suburbans, not sure if they are doing the 07s yet. But they were $$$$

36k is about inline for an 05 , they are bringing great market value right now, love mine, might keep it till it puke's

I wouldnt give you my 04' 6.0 with 56k miles for $45k.. there just isnt anything out there to replace such vehicle with that much passenger room and towing capacity.
