Bought my 2000 7.3 Eddie Bauer Excursion new for $42000. Sticker was $47995.00. Sold it last year with 79K miles on it for 20k. Put it on Craigs list and it sold the first day. Guy flew up from Texas with cash. All depends on who wants one bad enough. A treasure to one is junk to another.

I had one before buying a 7.3 Excursion. The Suburban was a great vehicle, gas mileage was terrible. Mine had the LT auto ride, when towing it would auto. level out, very nice feature. Nice vehicle but doesn't compare to the Excursion in heavy duty situations, the Excursion is more like a truck and tows better with heavy weight and long loads. I put 10 of thousands of miles on both and would own either one depending on what I was pulling.
Thanks,

9-10 towing, 14-16 all situations could pull a 17/18 if driving light footed. My 8.1 a little less towing and never saw better than 16 averaged 13, the problem was around town really bad single digit mileage with the Burb. Going up the same boat ramps with the same boat, I preffered the Excursion 7.3. Traveling over distance on a highway with the same boat, the Excursion is planted and more controlled but the Burb rode better. Around town, the Burb is more agile and user friendly. Neither one required expensive repairs while I owned them. The Ford had leaks and the Chevy electrical issues. Fix one problem another starts, both brands not immune to issues. In the end I prefer the diesel, but both did the job.

My uncle has a 2000 with 476k! They have a running bet about it rolling over to 500k. I will without a doubt. If you walked by it in a parking lot you would think it had less then 100k on it. Still running the factory engine and tranny.
