The 03 and 04 6.0 engines are a problem waiting to happen. They were not much good when new and I doubt putting a 100K on them makes them any better. I'd look at V10 first. The gas Triton engines were very good for longevity and fair on fuel mileage. The 05 and newer 6.0s are OK, but unless you are planing on towing more than 40% of the time you are probably still money ahead with a V10.
The older 7.3s are very good engines but I wouldn't want to bother with one in an Excursion - even small problems in the desiel engines turn into very expensive repairs. If I were buying a tow vehicle I would be much more interested. The V10s in those years are good for 300K without to much trouble unless you abuse them and have no trouble with power. Fuel mileage is comparable and gas is going to be cheaper than desiel for some time to come.
