The 2002 Ford Excursion continued to roll through the marketplace like the giant that it was. Very few changes were implemented for 2002: the most important was the introduction of power-adjustable pedals, making it easier for soccer moms to drive the massive juggernaut.
Two trims were available for the 2002 Excursion, XLT and Limited. Buyers could choose rear-wheel drive, or optional four-wheel drive. The Excursion's 4WD option was marketed for suburban safety, though, rather than for all-terrain versatility; you weren't likely to want to take this landwhale off-road.
When it came to roominess, the Excursion gave new meaning to the 'full-size' in 'full-size SUV'. Its overall length was 226.7 inches, with a width of 79.9 inches. The Excursion seated 9, with ample legroom and headroom for all, and had a cargo capacity of 146.4 cubic feet.
The Excursion came off the line with a 5.4 liter overhead cam V-8 that delivered 255 horsepower and 350 lb.-ft. of torque; buyers could upgrade to a 6.8 liter overhead cam V10, with 310 horsepower and 425 lb.-ft. of torque, or go for even more power with a 7.3 liter V-8 turbodiesel option that put out 250 horsepower and 505 lb.-ft. of torque.
What owners say
"Owners of the 2002 Ford Excursion generally love its reliability, spaciousness, and impressive towing ability, making it a great choice for larger families and those who need to haul heavy loads. However, many drivers noted that the gas mileage is a drawback, especially with its powerful engine. Overall, it's seen as tough and capable, perfect for road trips and family transport."
The vehicle is missing a transmission cover, rope utilized to stop the starter from shaking, and had cut and unsecured wire underneath and in engine compartment from DIY installations. Has certain spots of heavy rust that need attention or should be disclosed.
March 21, 2025I can't say enough about the pulling power these things have, not that I haul a lot but when I do power isn't an issue. Probably the most reliable rig I've ever owned, never had to do anything other than put fuel and change oil.
September 8, 2014I bought this truck with 25,000 miles on her, and now have 225,000 miles on it. It has given me zero problems, I run 35" tires, and tow relatively heavy stuff all the time. When I run into someone in trouble, she's always been ready to help. We even up-righted a turned over truck and put it back up on the road. It's awesome with all the comforts of home and more!

September 12, 2013We have had this "Beast" since 2005, and it is still in good condition:) Mom loves it, its big, it looks mean, and its the perfect truck for a big family. i do recommend this vehicle to family's of 6 to 8 people.
November 10, 2009love the looks, very rigid truck all the way around, i put a hypertech power programmer in it to give extra kick and better fuel economy. probably pushing about 700 ft.lbs of torque.pulled a 10,000 pound load with it with out struggling.
September 9, 2009The Ford Excursion isa beast and probably the best package Ford ever put out.
April 13, 2024They are very reliable have owned one ever since they came out in 2000. Hauls all my family and luggage. No need for rentals. Very roomy
August 12, 2020I love this Excursion. It is superior for transporting family and towing a trailer or boat. It has looks, leather, and it's Impressive. Only drawback is low gas mileage. Makes you feel invincible on the road. Getting behind the wheel of this SUV give you that feeling of POWER!
August 25, 2011Things I dislike with my car: 1 Door swiches tend to get stuck 2 Front leaf springs are too weak Other than that, I`m very pleased with it. The mpg increased quite a bit when I programmed the ECM to a towing program
July 18, 2009If you have a large family or like to be able take anything your heart desires when traveling this is the SUV for you.
