[FX4&EXCURSION]

Excursion production ended on 30 September 2005. I have a 2004 Limited V10 4x4. I average about 14-15 on the highway and about 10-13 around town. It really depends on how judicious I am with the throttle! We looked at the diesel but deemed it not worth the extra 6k and didn't even consider the 5.4. I am very happy with the V10, plenty of power, however I would avoid the 5.4 at all costs if you are hauling 4 kids plus 2 dogs and 2 adults AND gear. Trust me you are going to wish you had the V10 or diesel. Remember, these are heavy trucks, over 7,000 lbs in 4x4 trim and keep in mind that the 5.4 4x4 is only about 100lbs less than that of the V10 4x4. With a 55 hp and 75lb of torque difference between both motors hauling about the same amount of weight, it's going to be taxing on the 5.4. Also the mileage difference isn't going to be much of a factor if at all. Good luck and let us know what you do. Avoid the 5.4!
