Used Ford Excursion for Sale near New Brunswick, NJ
Ford Excursion Overview
The Ford Excursion was a great example of the 'bigger is better' mentality that dominated the US auto industry during the SUV era. Ford responded to strong sales from the GMC Yukon XL and the Chevy Suburban by beating them at their own game with the mega-sized Excursion.
The Excursion was based on the Super Duty truck platform, and classified as a heavy-duty commercial vehicle. Weighing in at three and a half tons, the Excursion was, when it was launched, one of the largest vehicles ever marketed widely for passenger use.
Not surprisingly, the Excursion's gas mileage was pretty dismal. Still, the Excursion did find a following among people who needed (or just wanted) to drive a sport-utility vehicle the size of a small European nation.
The Excursion was axed in 2005, a victim of rising gas prices. It's still a favorite with tuners and project enthusiasts, though; there's a lot of Detroit steel to work with, and it's fun if you're not planning to drive very far.
4.6 Overall rating
(125 reviews)Customers say
The Ford Excursion has been well-received by owners across all model years for its spacious interior, strong towing capability, and overall reliability. Many appreciate the powerful performance, making it a great choice for families needing extra room and those who tow heavy loads. However, a common criticism is the poor fuel economy, as owners frequently mention high gas consumption. Additionally, handling due to its large size and certain durability concerns with interior components have been noted as drawbacks.

What people say
The Ford Excursion isa beast and probably the best package Ford ever put out.
If you have a large family or like to be able take anything your heart desires when traveling this is the SUV for you.
A little pricey for the miles. Otherwise its good for what I need.
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!!
