I have an '03 Excursion with a V10. 296,000 miles so far and no problems. Wife won't give it up until she hits 300,000 before she'll even think of looking to replace it. Granted it doesn't pull a lot of trailer miles like my pickup but it has pulled a 23' camper, a car trailer and when asked to a 300 bu seed tender all with no complaints. The seed tender I try not to fill full. The camper or car hauler you are in danger of forgetting its back there and you can pass anybody you have a mind to when you stick your foot in it. Gas tank is somewhere around 50 gallons so you can drive forever on long trips and not be stopping for fuel always. Takes a healthy check book to fill it but for just running around it gets about 13 mpg. Much better on long trips. I have an Expedition with a 5.4 gets about 13 mpg. I have an '01 F-250 crew cab with a 7.3 diesel. You guessed it. About 13 mpg. So I guess I'm saying it costs no more than any other big frame vehicle I own and repair wise has been about the cheapest over the long haul. Not sure but I think you live in my state. My Excursion sits outside and doesn't have a plug in and has always started in 20 or more below zero temps. That's worth something if you depend on it for daily winter driving compared to a diesel. My diesel is plugged in nearly every day December through February. I guess you could say I'm a fan of the V10 and wouldn't hesitate to buy another.
