Review of the 2002 Ford Excursion
-
Too much truck for too many people. Buy a Suburban if you need a nine-passenger SUV that can tow.
- Safety | Reliability

Pros
Provides safe haven for the family, carries lots of stuff, truck-tough underpinnings can take lots of abuse.
-
Cons
Won't fit in a standard garage, drives like a loaded U-Haul, horrific fuel economy, hard to park, can't beat the Suburban at its own game.

What's New for 2002
Excursions get crystalline headlamp lenses for 2002, as well as "smart" intermittent front and rear wipers. XLTs gain a new auto-lock feature as well as standard third-row child seat tethers with a BeltMinder system. Excursion Limited receives a chrome side strip, automatic climate control and power-adjustable pedals. New options on XLT include power-adjustable pedals and a power front passenger seat. Limited models can be equipped with memory seats and pedals, second-row captain's chairs and redundant controls for climate and audio on the steering wheel. Both XLT and Limited will get a DVD-based entertainment system for rear-seat passengers later this year. Skid plates are no longer optional.
