Ford Escursion

This is probably not really a TM question! We now have a 2001 Ford Excursion. With the 5.4 litre engine, it will tow 6100 to 6400 # depending on which rating you read. With the 6.8 V10 or the Powerstroke diesel it can carry 10,000+ #. It seems like we have a good engine and we take it around town more than we tow with, so the MPG's are much better (@$2.05/gallon reg. unleaded in Memphis this week!). If our frame (and probably transmission) are good enough for 10,000 #, what would hurt if we went to say 7000# or more with a trailer?
