Does anyone own a X with the 6.0L PSD? Would you be so kind as to reply with what type of gas mileage you are experiencing. I am considering the X, expedition & suburban for purchase. I can not find mileage numbers for the 6.0L PSD anywhere. Thank you |

My 6.0 Excursion gets an average of 17 mpg in combined driving. Around 15.5 to 16.5 dropping off at school, grocery store stuff and 20 to 20.5 at highway speeds 75mph. No comparision to any of the gas burners, not to mention this 6.0 will blow the doors off of any gas engine SUV on the road. Had suburban 5.7 engine for 6 years, it was great and dependable, but this 6.0 is in a league of its own.

Just want to clarify, do you have the 4x4 or 4x2? |

Oh man, add your vehicle to the registry! I want to see some pics of that 6.0L and the rest of your X. I have yet to see one.

Why on earth, would you even consider a suburban?
The expedition is a lousy attempt to replace the Bronco and sucks gas.
Get an X diesel man... You won't regret it.

Yip --- PEE !!!!!
Ford finally came through-swapped my '02 7.3L 4x2 Ex Limited for '03 6.0L 4x4 Ex....
This truck is GREAT and "G-O-R-G-E-O-U-S" 
Black on Black - black grill, black running boards, black everything !
hardly ANY chrome other than the wheels and one strip between the wheels which I may black out as well...
The 4x4 definetly has a little stiffer ride than my 4x2 but the extra height and 'look' of the 4x4 is worth the ride stiffness...
I hear the 6.0L's turbo a lot more than on the 7.3L (or more likely i DON'T hear the engine as much so I CAN hear the turbo!!!!0
This thing is QUIET for the beast it is... Have not pushed it with only a 100 miles or so, but did push another one that I test drove and it scoots as good as the 7.3L with SCMT and Exhaust upgrades....
This particular truck came from the factory with a rear sway bar too !!!
So I now have a practically new SCMT 1705 for the 7.3L for sale - $290 + shipping...
It's in perfect working order...
Now just need to wait on the new stuff for the 6.0L - I can't wait !
2005 6.0L 4x4 Eddie Bauer Ex
2003 6.0L 4x4 Limited Ex - traded in (BooHoo)
