A GMC Sierra and a Ford Super Duty could haul 10,000 pounds and they both get better mileage than an Excursion.

Then again, who really NEEDS to haul a trailer that large? They don't.

um wrong....my dad has a ford super duty diesel and the milage is about the same as that diesel excursion :P i'd imagine about the same for the sierra/chevy too.

as for anyone needing a trailer that big.......how about ranchers? or do you think they still have cattle drives to the market? :lol:

You can argue with me, or you can argue with GMC and Ford; I got that information from their websites. Unlike some people, I'm not just pulling stuff out of my ### here. :P

Or you could just buy a smaller car and tell your kids to stop kicking each other, and hike in the mountains instead of tearing them up with a Jeep.

Oh, and the PWNED bit...real mature.

You're just mad because you're wrong. It's OK I've been wrong before.

I'm sure you're wrong a lot, like you are now. However, I'm sure you're also VERY used to it.

are you looking at gas engines or diesel? if you are hauling over 7,000 pounds you better have a diesel engine, and the mileage for a diesel isn't near as bad as gas. my truck is gas but the reason for that is i don't haul my trailer very often nor is the trailer at max weight very often (most it's been is about 4,000 pounds - landscaping bricks).

btw, that excursion i was referencing above, it's dead in nebraska. transmission problems while hauling that trailer (which is 10,500 pounds). current mileage on the excursion is in the upper 70k, i can only imagine how quickly a gas powered v-10 would have died had it been used. :P

You know, they don't sell Ford Excursions in the UK yet farmers still manage to get their cattle to auction. I guess they're using magic to transport them.

cattle ranching in the uk? oh please. if that's anything like a dutch cattle rancher, it's two cows :lol:

it's not uncommon here to see a 1 ton pickup with a 5th wheel trailer hauling 12 cattle to the sale barn. i seriously doubt that in the uk you'd have a "rancher" doing the same.

"The fact that we are here today to debate raising America’s debt limit is a sign of leadership failure. It is a sign that the U.S. Government can’t pay its own bills. It is a sign that we now depend on ongoing financial assistance from foreign countries to finance our Government’s reckless fiscal policies."

Nope, they use trailers. But they don't haul them behind Expeditions. My husband's grandparents live on a farm. :lol:

1 - how many cattle at a time?

2- how far to the market?

it would not be unusual for a rancher to drive a 100 mile trip to sell off a dozen cows here.

I suppose I could ask but I think I've made my point, i.e. you do not need an Excursion to tow 10,000 pounds. I wouldn't think an Excursion would be overly practical on a ranch anyway. You pretty much never see gigantic luxury SUVs on farms here, mostly because it would just be SILLY.

actually, no, you have not. the only vehicles that can match it's performance in towing get about the same mileage............i.e. a f-350 (diesel) and so on. i'm looking for something that gets over 18-19 mpg and has a towing capacity of at least 10,500 pounds.

yes, an excursion would not be practical on a ranch, but given the situation of having a large trailer, which was previously mentioned, do you know of any car that can replace it?
