Used Ford Excursion for Sale near Kamuela, HI

The Ford Excursion isa beast and probably the best package Ford ever put out.

This 2005 vehicle almost looks new with a perfect finish. It has spent years in the south with no salt exposure. The interior leather seats have been well-maintained with no wear. The Diesel engine was smooth running and the air suspension system provides a great ride given the age and weight of the SUV. The price seemed reasonable as we are familiar with the diesel model, having had a 2000 one. There was no hesitation in deciding to purchase it on the spot. It seemed a better choice over other large SUV’s we’ve tried such as the diesel Tourag, BMW and Suburban.

I like almost everything about the vehicle, lots of positives, like, one of the safest rides on the road, the roof/cab assembly is designed to stay together on full roll over, it weighs around 6,800 lbs, so wind/storms don't affect it as adversely as like the effect of wind on other SUV. Its well built, rides great on the road, plenty of room.. You do need to understand and get used to driving it, its like being in a tank, but has a good turning radius, especially for a large vehicle. I personally prefer the gas over the diesel, easier and cheaper to maintain, with the exception of the transmission fluid flush, I perform all maintenance on the vehicle. Average full maintenance material cost is around 60.00, not including the tranny flush,( I have that done at a local dealership for around $100.00) The major con is the fuel consumption, as long as you don't push it it is not bad in town, around 12-14 mpg, open road- around 16-18 mpg. if you push it, it likes gas, however, it does readily respond, nothing underpowered about it. I did upgrade to severe duty brake pads, and installed the banks air intake and exhaust system. If it does not sell, soon it will be getting the Banks automind installed, which should held performance and mileage even more. By the way, lots of glass, had the windows tinted, the a/c will freeze you out of the vehicle now on a road trip. And I strongly recommend the floor liners, especially around kids- they work well!!

Great car from extreme use to day to day use. Does good in tough weather and is very safe on the road. Good off roaring, great for taking big cargo around or a lot of people. Can tow or carry a bike rack in the back.

The reason Ford quit making the Excursion and the 7.3L Diesel engine in it is because they simply last forever. 300,000+ miles and mine is clicking right along, doing everything exceptionally, still looking great, and maintenance has been very low.
