What is this thing?

It looks like a excursion or something but the small window in the middle makes me think its something custom. It had a huge front and rear custom bumper, and some massive leaf springs. Any ideas?

Definitely looks like an Excursion, but it looks like it has been extended......or, had it's rear window chopped down.

If you look close, does it look like that tiny window is on a suicide door???
I would say the rear gate is a dead giveaway for Excursion... Did anyone else use a split-rear tailgate like that?

It looks like a crew cab superduty had an ex back end and an extended cab back portion grafted on as well...

looks good tho

i like the looks of that. maybe some type of swat vehicle... lol

That is a custom job. The badge style on the back was never used on Excursions. I'm thinking its either a converted Econoline or F-series. Probably a strip chassis either way. Be easier to tell if you could have gotten a pic of the front.

I don't like it. In fact I hate all full size SUV's

i kinda like it. but ive always been a sucker for the excursions. makes me feel like im riding the short bus again

Way too long to be a stock excursion. Willing to bet its a longbed crew cab super duty done up custom.

It looks longer than a Mormon clothes line and home made.It has a real 8 mile per gallon look to it too.Maybe it was made to haul crews or something special.

Im not so sure about that... 3 door excursions are not unheard off. Obviously custom, but they exist... Nevermind stretch limos and shit.

The front clip is definitely 08-10 S/D as well because of the fender vent.

the side steps and the roof rack make me think it's some sort of government vehicle for swat type operations. most likely heavily armored due to the massive leaf springs you said you saw. it doesn't look like any of the side windows open either since there's no trim or gap around the windows (bullet proof), but my guess is the little window behind the doors does. the silver box thing on top looks like it may be for a machine gun turret too.

I agree with mac on this one. Looks to me like there are grab handles on the sides of the roof box so that you could stand on the running boards and not fall off, roof box is either storage or a turret hole, doors and windows are out of proportion, leading me to believe they're bulletproofed, and the license plate looks to be special.

The lack of markings on the doors and sides is interesting though.

and definitely a newer style front end on it.

Also the body is wider than the original excursion based on the proportions of the rear window.

it's not that hard to do.
