Tow Rig???

[scbronco]

Reviving an old question here... I'm thinking about an Excursion. 99-03 variety with the 7.3, and 4x4. i'm confident it will pull my boat or the Bronco, and i like em'... I'm told that they can go for up to 500,000 miles if properly maintianed. I've found some for sale around the low teens (the budget i'd like to stay in) with under 200K on them, and in really good shape appearance wise. this will not be my dailydriver, but will have to be reliable enough to make 2 hour trips once a week, and up to 10 hours 3-4 times a year. most of the ones i've seen have had recent trans work done.

Any thoughts?
