We currently have a 2002 limited Excursion with a 7.3 diesel. It's my wife's vehicle and she loves it. It currently has 279,000 miles and runs perfectly.

I love how you made this video. I got my 2000 7.3 Limited 4x4 about 8 months ago. It was a dream car of mine for a long time. I absolutely love it. It has just under 260k miles and runs strong with obvious signs of age. I'm currently working to bring it back to its factory look.

Currently drive a 2004 Excursion with 6.0 and 239,000 miles. Runs cherry; We love it!

I remember people returning them because they would not fit in a standard garage.

My parents actually own a 2003 excursion that was well taken care of back in 2011 for 4K and they still have it with just 111K miles on the clock! They have offered me to buy it from them but I think the massive V10 sucks up more gas than my 1993 Chevy pickup.

I currently drive a 2004 f250 with a 5.4 V8 and I'm at 408 thousand miles

Ford needs to bring this back.

The Wagoneer debuted with 4 doors in 1962. The Travelall was not the only competition.

Thank you for continuing these interesting videos. I recall this vehicle. This vehicle was the poster child for gas guzzler. I do not hate the vehicle. I just recall them being on the road as some still are. They have extended length Ford Expedition and Lincoln Navigator in 2024. They both can be bought for over 100,000 dollars today. Thank you again.

Had a 2002 4x4 V10....sold it to my niece about two years ago with 336k miles, she still has it. Best vehicle I have ever owned by far!

I never owned one but I work in auto finance and never had to worry about doing a loan for this vehicle. Great trucks, never had a customer complain. I would still do a loan today on one if a buyer needed it.

Just recently bought a 02 V10 to haul my trailer and boat. I’ve fallen in love with it and will be doing a full restoration

I love my 2005 v10 4x4 i picked up in December. Drives like a tank. I love it. I just throw the bicycles in the back and my 4 children in carseats . I love the dadmobile

Hard to imagine that this was considered to be too big when you see the size of these behemoth pick up trucks on the road today.

I own a 2001 Ford Excursion Limited edition. My son and I started a restoration project almost 2 years ago. We started with a well taken care for truck. However, over 22 plus years, things needed to be addressed. And we started with a full upgrade on the entire suspension front and rear. Plus air bags.we went through the fuel system,upgraded the front and rear brake system. The interior was redone as for the two front leather seats. The rear seat was like new. The out side was a beautiful black finish that was totally detailed and looks like new again. All the power windows were repaired along with the door locks. We added a 4 inch lift with automatic fold out steps Also 5 new Falken 35X12.5 20 inch tires mounted onMETHOD 20X12 inch wheels, would the 5th tire mounts in the rear inside spare pocket? We installed double Bilstein gas shocks with steering stabilizer in front On the rear also Bilstein gas shocks. The stock anti sway bars were removed and replaced with heavy duty aftermarket bars front and rear. The transmission was serviced and operates as new. Both front and rear differentials were regeared and serviced. The exhaust system was also replaced and sounds mellow plus adds some horse power. An after market tuner was added to boost more power out of the engine and reestablish the correct speed-o. This Excursion is now one of the finest 4X4s on the road today. We get a great deal of complements from folks thinking this is some custom build truck not knowing Ford built this vehicle in the early 2000. Plus many that speak to their memories of their family had one when they were kids and wished they could fine one like this truck again. This now is one fine vehicle that will last another 24 years without any issues. Thanks for taken time to read about this beautiful Excursion from Ford Super Duty family.

IT'S on my bucket list for 2024, I always love & admire these ( I am a Ford Fan Boy ) lol-I , love all American trucks, from the big three, I AM GETTING ME AN EXCURSION this year 2024- ( lol all things being equal ) love your video reviews , you do a magnificent job, they re entertaining & enjoyable , but insanely informative throughout-thanks for for channel & sharing. Keep them coming. Michael J. looking forward to your next upload. Take care now.

i got my 01 Limited Excursion in 05 65000 miles then 245000 miles now. The 7.3L is still going stronger then ever i do baby it now because i will never get rid of it. i live in NJ so it has seen salt roads. i have been fixing the rust in the normal Rocker panels and running boards but well worth the efforts to keep it stock.... one key thing in keeping it running so well.... frequent fuel filter change, and oil change...

I would love to have one of these, They are probably more popular today then when they were new as by the resale value. Its to bad if the media doesn't like something they just attack, not because it wasn't a great vehicle, but they just didn't like its size !! Just imagine if everyone thought Labron James was too big to play basketball.

If your brother follows the maintenance schedule. he will get 500k out of that drive train. If not more!!! Great content my brother!!!!

My 2000 Excursion 4x4 7.3L diesel has almost 350,000 miles on it and going strong. I will never sell it and I'll keep pouring $$$ into it as nothing on the market compares to it!

Got a 2001 Ex with the 7.3 and I LOVE IT!!!

Didn't own one but I sold them when I worked at a Ford dealership. They were huge. I sold one that the owner brought back the next week. She said she couldn't fit it in her garage, they were that big. The Eddie Bauer trim one we had was green and tan with a saddle type/colour leather interior. Looked awesome and it had all the options including the flip down monitor and dvd system in the ceiling and separate climate controls for those in the back seats.

I have a 2005, I love it and been upgrading it

The amount of front passenger foot room in these was a joke. The transmission tunnel took up too much room.

I’d love to find one of these some day! I have a 2016 Explorer Sport that is a really fun family vehicle, but one of these diesel Excursions would be an amazing personal vehicle and family hauler!

I bought one 2 years ago. 6.0 diesel limited. Best vehicle ever owned. So cool. So loud. So big. So useful. And that oil burner really is good on the mpg

I owned 2 . First was a V10 and the last was a diesel. I wish I had them back. These things could pull a house off its foundation. Just remarkable. And safe , the family I sold the first one to rolled it on the interstate 4 times down a median. His whole family and a dog were ok

Purchased our 02 Excursion 7.3L 4x4 new, still have it today with 160k on it, never seen salt roads! 👍

I think it was the ultimate and best suv ever produced and it is a shame they discontinued it😢😢

I’ve had my ‘02 Excursion 4wd V10 for 22 years and 230k miles. It replaced a Suburban and Tahoe both of which wilted towing a 7500 lb boat long distance. By far the best vehicle I’ve ever owned, I’m keeping it until I die, then it will go to my son.

We had a 2005 v10, awesome. Time also named Hitler man of the year...

Back in 2002 when I was stationed in Charleston, SC my buddy Rick had a F250 Super Duty pickup and bough his wife one of these Excursions. We though he was crazy!

In Iceland a glaicier tour company extended the wheelbase of the Excoursion so they had six doors instead of four and modifeied them for snow driving with 44-50 inch tires.

My wife had a co-worker who owned an Excursion. She was @ 5' tall and the Excursion just swallowed her when she got in the driver's seat. I asked her why she had such a huge vehicle and she said it made her feel safe driving around the city. I only sat in the passenger's seat once and I don't think I could have navigated that behemoth in traffic or parked it. I never did ask her what the gas mileage was but it couldn't have been good. Given how popular big SUVs are, I am surprised that Ford doesn't offer one as big as the Excursion now.

I had these for company supplied work trucks from 2002 to 2013. These were diesels and we used them along the Dalton Highway.

Contrary to what some people may think, the Excursion was an excellent vehicle with no real competition. Today they bring premium prices on the used market because Ford built nothing to replace this heavy duty beast. I’ve owned 2 (a 4X4 Limited with the 6.8, and now a 2WD with the 7.3) and absolutely loved them both. The 7.3 currently has 246k & is my daily driver.

I’ve always wanted one with the 7.3.

Probably only handful will know about this before excursion, i had 1993 Ford Centurion conversion that was done in White Pigeon Michigan. Basically swb 4 door f250 with full size bronco shell making it 3rd row seating. Had woodgrain w custom interior/seats 4 capt. Chairs color was hunter green with diesel engine 15 mpg with trailer or with out. Found it in Texas at car lot . Owned 2000 Excursion 4wd v10 awesome as well.

I ordered one before they came out, I was so anxious to have one. 54 gallon tank and 21MPG (7.3 diesel) let me go a long way. I once towed a 4,00 pound trailer with a 18,000 pound load and it just didn't care. I miss it.

I never had one, but two of my cousins had this huge beast in the early 2000s , they both ended up trading them in for Hondas…. They just didn’t have the need anymore for a vehicle of that size!! But it was a reliable vehicle while they had it

Awesome video could you do the Ford bronco next please

Glad you got this video of the Ford Excursion sadly they don't make anymore

I love my 1999 Chevrolet Suburban 1500 4x4 with 5.7L 350 gas engine. I had a 2004 Ford and Jeep SUV I don't like both.

I absolutely cannot stand modern crossover garbage. And I'm not a big fan of modern SUVs either. But SUVs from the 80's and older are pretty great. And I really like AMC Eagle 4wd. Especially the Kamback. That being said. If I had to buy a more modern SUV. An Excursion with the V10 would be something I would definitely look into

I love my '05/V10 Limited with 143,000. All original showroom condition except for the hydraulic running boards I added. Yep, it has an elevator🤔.

Ford hardly advertised it, so many didn't even know it existed.

When I first started working for Hertz in 2000 (which was owned by Ford back then), we got some of the first units of the Excursion, and they were a beast to clean, and barely fit through the car wash. Yet the cleaners scurried for them and loved to clean them, don't know why. Only other one that was a beast to clean was the Hummer H2.

I would love to have a Ford Excursion. You could take it camping and sleep in it. It had plenty of room for carrying stuff just in case you need to help someone move to a new house or apartment. Nobody bought the Excursion for fuel economy. I wouldn't need it for towing but as a family vehicle it works perfectly.

Oh yeah nothing like an Excursion for road trips pulling a boat or camper and surprisingly they road nice too but they were thirsty vehicles and it kind of screemed money too in a way

I own its competitor the Suburban and love it. But it is smaller that the excursion, which GM used as a selling point.

I have 2 Excursions both have the V10 . One is a 2001 2wd and a 2003 4wd with 8 in. Lift the 01 has 310,000 miles the 03 has 192,000 miles Both are driven daily be me and my wife.

Unfortunately, at a time when full-size SUVs were pulling away from their light-duty pickup trucks, the Excursion was based on the Ford heavy-duty pickup truck. It road like a truck.

Never understood why they discontinued the epic Excursion. If it was still made I’d own one 🚛 What was the biggest displacement these wizards of American icons made?

The suburban was built in 1935 to present

Bought a 2004 Eddie Bauer V-10 new,still drive it daily.just turned 134,000 miles.been the best truck I've ever had,getting rocker rust but runs well.

I think there are a couple companies that specialize in restoring Excursions. In OK, I think.

“Fail”? Interesting take. Ford never intended on producing them long. In fact, I’m certain they were produced twice as long as planned due to popularity. Regardless, I love my 2000 V10 still today! Tough to beat an SUV like these!

I’m imagining a badge-engineered Mercury version.

Wasn't used in cop series shows, Ford had no show in cop movies or television shows, blame GM for Suburban shows

Yeah, it’s funny you put the excursion next to a square body suburban like a 99 suburban suburban looks like a toy car. It’s pretty funny.

Ford was jealous because Chevy had the biggest vehicle with the suburban so they had to one up them with the Excursion. The Excursion gets gallons per mile as well.

You always knew who the "well off" kids were... they showed up in the Excursion.

I have never owned an excursion

I remember when it came out we called it the Ford short bus

I wanted one never could afford one

I got 50 Oldsmobile 🚀88 the body is wide

The electric hummer weighs like another 3k pounds over this behemoth. Let that sink in.

These things were just too large and cumbersome. It was a choice of being underpowered by the 5.4 or fuel economy that was simply atrocious with the6.8 unless you paid extra for the diesel .

I just want one in australia - they think ford Rangers are too big

Suburban 4x4 sooo much better with the manual transmission! whats wrong with US manufacturers? we WANT manual!

I always laugh when I see someone driving a ford, like that’s a great toy you’re drivin. Guess the dealership didn’t have a reliable brand on hand.

It's International Harvester, not Harvest.

(2:28) This is an interesting looking SUV. If an early 2000 Explorer was crossed in with an early Pathfinder. I imagine that this is similar to what it would look like. American Intermediary Documentary 5/8/2024 President Trump / Vice President Ramaswamy 2024 " Our Country Our Choice "

Talk about compensation mobiles.

A big reason it died so soon is because Ford hardly advertised it. Only the haters did, by bashing it. I drove some that our political organization rented. I liked it, but the GMC Suburban had a nicer interior.

Jeep Wagoneer? All of the bullshit desired for barely two minutes to address the title.

Also, the Mega Cruiser and the LM002 were much cooler.

The frame rusted completely out in 3 years. POS
