Not that it changes things much but the truck is at a dealership. It's not private owned trade for trade.

That was what the Chevy dealership is offering me to take my Excursion.

My truck is a FL truck, it's actually Statement Marines old truck they used when first starting out and pulling the boats all over.

No rust, solid frame, and zero body rust.

Keep the Ex.

I had to tow my old TopGun from my warehouse one time with my parents Suburban 2500. It looked exactky like that one(could be) so I thought it would be no big deal. I think I aged 10 yrs in a 6 mile drive. Never again.

Don't trade. 6.0 GM a is gas hog. 12mpg at best empty. I pulled with my dad's 6.0 a few times and IMO my 5.3 1500 had better power.

Sold a 5.9 Cummins and bought a newer 1500 Chevy 5.3 and was never truly satisfied until I bought another diesel.

If you do get something else, stick with a diesel. I like your Excursion a lot!

THANK YOU.

I try and fix whatever is needed when it comes up and keep her washed and waxed as well. I am in no rush to move on from her but always keep an open ear.

Best way to do it IMO. Keep it till it becomes unreliable on long trips or it starts significantly draining your wallet. I'd say you will be good for while!

You know what you have.

Keep the Excursion. ...clean ones are hard to find now.

Hey Nate: Curious as to why you would get rid of 01 anything to get a 02 that you nothing about.

Definitely keep the Ex. Always liked how they look and yours sounds like a solid truck.

Never owned any car or truck longer than 3 years.

Just use to getting bored and swapping stuff.
