2003 Ford Excursion XLT Value Rwd 4dr SUV (7.3L 8cyl Turbodiesel 4A)
I've had the X for 2 months and 7000 miles now; still great! Power up the wahzoo, pulls our 5000 lb. boat like it's not even there. Wanders though... steering is vague and directional control is minimal, it just doesn't want to go straight down the road, gotta pay attention all the time. The 6.0 engine is the only way to go, 16.5-21 mpg, kills anything you'll see from the other engines.
Engine; 6.0 litre turbodiesel Roomy; most other cars just do not handle tall people well Build quality; surprisingly good
Do something with that damn e-brake handle!I'm tall, and I bought the X so I could be comfortable, then there's this damn handle right where my leg goes. It's not like there isn't anywhere else to put it.
