  • In this video I outline some basic information that might be helpful if you are looking at purchasing a Ford Excursion. This is in noway a comprehensive review, however, it is a good start! If you are interested in purchasing the Excursion used in the video, check out our website for more information. You can actually find a walk around video of that specific truck, as well as many others, here on our UA-cam Channel.

    I've owned one since 2016, I should have bought it in 2003 when I was looking at them. The V10 model is like therapy, no sense being in a hurry because that just doesn't happen. My newest is a 6.0 bullet proof and tuned 05 EB, about to turn 99,000 miles. It is a gem.

    Even though all my kids are grown and married, now I’m building an excursion to carry my grand kids. Lots of engine upgrades, updated looks on the body. One thing that I have consider after hearing about a story where the spare burst even thought it was new but had a date code of the 2000s, I will put a new tire on that wheel. Can’t beat having to go in debt $80,000-$150,000. Keep them beasts on the road! 🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥

    I've had my V10 Limited for 9 years, several trips back and forth to Kentucky from Ogden Utah, always averages 14 mpg at freeway speed, massive range potential. Just recently I purchased a 1999 Crown Vic for the engine and the dealer threw in a 1999 Excursion as a benny. I have too many cars.

    I’ve had my 2002 7.3L since 2010. Bought it with 250,000kms from the original owner, and now it has 370,000kms on it and it’s been a tank with no major problems.
    Original HPOP, injectors.
    Glow plugs have been replaced, I upgraded my suspension to F350 leafs front and back, Bilstein shocks, Hellwig rear sway bar, ELC coolant with filter, 20” King Ranch OEM wheels with 2” spacers. Everything else is stock. Love the suv, drives perfect.
    Everywhere I go people are asking if I would sell it lol.

    My niece, of all people, used to own one, and it too was white with a beige/tan interior. I think that it was also the same model as yours as well, if my memory serves correctly. Also, it was one of two officially licensed trucks/SUVs to have a V10 engine, with the other one being the 2004-2006 Dodge Ram 1500 SRT10. However, unlike Dodge, Ford a. had either gasoline, or diesel, powered V10 engines, b. had a variety of each type of engine, c. also offered smaller engines, in both gasoline, and diesel forms, for the vehicle as well, and d. was the only V10 vehicle of any sort to ever be made in a diesel form officially from the factory.

    I always wanted to do a nice conversion of a 1960s or 1970s Ford F-250 non-dually crew cab truck with an extended bed, and then turn it into like a retro take of a Ford Excursion. I think that it would be nice to do that to such a truck.

    I own a 2000 Ford Excursion . Purchased for $9000 3 years ago 180000 miles. Although the engine is the 5.4 everyone hates , it’s the 2 valve hints why it’s still on the road 23 years later. Bottom line they are the Biggest, Cheapest SUV you can buy and they are built to last. Parts are cheaper than old Escalade parts…just saying 😂.
