Please call Greg directly at 513-200-9226 with any questions about
this car.
Seven Hills Motorcars is proud to offer this beautiful 2000 Ford
Excursion in original condition with only 247,588 original miles.
This truck looks great, runs great, and is ready to tow. The 2-Tone
Oxford White/Arizona Beige over Medium Parchment interior is a
beautiful color combination that looks great on the truck. It is
also the correct and original color scheme as verified by the codes
on the tag, which is pictured in this ad. This is an excellent
opportunity to own a classic 7.3L Excursion that is ready to be
used and enjoyed at an unbeatable value. The market for these
trucks is hot. One could easily buy this truck now and use it for
many years to come. The original mileage is verified not only by
the condition of the truck, but also the clear Ohio title showing
the mileage as "Actual." Please peruse all of the photos, video,
and information to get a true sense of how this Excursion really
is.
This specific Excursion is equipped with the Limited trim package,
which is the highest trim the Excursion was offered in. The Limited
trim adds the power driver's seat, illuminated running boards, rear
audio control, leather seats, heated front seats, 16" alloy wheels,
and much more. All other options in the lower trims are standard on
the limited, making this excursion loaded with options.
This Excursion also has the very sought after 7.3L Powerstroke
Diesel Engine. This engine, as long as it's been maintained, is
known to make it past the 500,000 mile mark with little to no
issues. Although this truck has 247,000 miles, that's just the
beginning for an Excursion. With around 275hp and roughly 525ft/lb
of torque, this diesel V8 is ready for anything you can throw at
it. Ford enthusiasts all over love this engine because of its
reliability, and great power.
As a side note, this Excursion is not a dealer auction vehicle. We
hand-pick each car after careful inspection. Our classics come from
owners who expect their car to go to someone that will give the
vehicle the same care and attention as they did. We invite and
encourage you to examine the car in person or have the car
inspected. Please take the time to scrutinize each picture. We
photograph each vehicle to the greatest extent so you can feel
confident about your purchase. If you have a question about the
truck, just give us a call.
Exterior
The 2-Tone exterior is in good driver condition. As one can see in
the photos the finish has a good gloss, deep shine, and smooth
finish. The chrome is in good condition with a great finish. The
moldings/trim throughout don't show their age like most Excursions.
The aftermarket moto wheels have a nice finish with some pitting in
the barrel areas. The Sunfire Mont-Pro all terrain tires have
plenty of tread and are sized 265/70R17. There are no major
imperfections that have been intentionally excluded from the
photos. The frame is solid. As one can see in the many photos of
the door jambs, it does have the common rust in the rocker area. We
have included specific photos of the area's most prone to rust to
show the true condition of this excursion.
Interior
The Arizona Beige interior in this Excursion is in driver
condition. The gauge faces are crisp and clean and the lenses are
crystal clear. The front seats show their age which is common for
this chassis. The carpet is also in great condition with no holes,
tears, or stains. The truck still has its original floor mats,
which also look nice. The door panels are in excellent shape and
the door pulls are solid and intact. The dash and console are in
great condition with no fading, or sun damage. The original radio
gets good reception. An aftermarket trailer brake controller has
been added to the bottom of the dash in the center. The rear seats
and 3rd row are in good shape with no major wear/issues. The jack
and jack handle are still with the truck. The original spare is
still with the truck and has never been used.
Ford interiors from this era are not known to wear well, and the
good overall condition of this interior is another great
verification of care and attention this truck has received
throughout its life.
Mechanical
This Excursion seems to be in great mechanical condition. The 7.3L
Powerstroke Diesel engine is notoriously known for being very
reliable and can stand the test of time well. The truck starts
right away every time, runs well, and idles smoothly. An
aftermarket high capacity starter has been installed, you can
observe how fast the engine cranks in the video. It drives great
and feels nice on the road and at highway speeds. In the video in
this ad one can observe the truck accelerating on the highway up to
about 70mph, shifting through all the gears, braking to stoplight,
and going through some curves. Please note that there are no
vibrations and the truck performs quite well overall. The brakes do
not pull to one side or the other. The transmission shifts smoothly
throughout the power band. There is no blue/white smoke when
starting or driving the truck. The truck runs cool and does not
overheat. The second owner added "helper bags" to the rear of the
truck to help with towing. There are valve stems by the rear
license plate so you can adjust the psi of the air bags
accordingly.
Please note in the video the dash warning lights; they light up
when the key is first turned on as a check and then go off when the
engine is started just as they should. There are no "check engine"
lights that stay on. The horn works as do all the exterior lights,
interior lights, wipers, and power windows. All of the gauges work.
The blower for the heater and a/c works on all speeds. The air
conditioning itself also works and blows cold. The power locks
currently don't currently work, but 4 new actuators are included in
the sale. Not enough can be said as to how much of a pleasure it is
to drive this Excursion, especially with the windows down on a
beautiful day.
Overall Condition
Overall, this 2000 Excursion is in good driver condition. Most
Excursions were run into the ground and neglected. The beautiful
original color combination, the good overall condition, and the
many options make this truck especially important and hard to
duplicate. It is very hard to find a nice Excursion for a
reasonable price in today's market. The prices of Ford Excursions,
especially ones equipped with the 7.3L have increased considerably
over the past several years. Although this truck isn't perfect, a
little TLC and this Excursion could be a very nice example that
would be worth more in the many years to come.
Thank you for looking and please do not hesitate to email or call
with any questions.
