My wife and I purchased a 2001 Ford Excursion in April of 2002. no ac AND TO FIX IT WOULD BE A TUNE OF $950.00. Then in May I ran into something different, A HOLE IN THE CYLINDER BLOCK WHICH WOULD HAVE COST OVER $7,200. FOR PARTS AND LABOR BUT WAS ONLY $100.00

I bought my excursion new and have loved it. I had 2 suburbans before and liked them also. But really wanted the diesel engine. We have the 7.3 in our F-350 crewcab and loved the power and mileage. The kids love the space and the reclining 2nd seat and the powerpoints and rear stereo control. I thought it had too much backend sway, so we added a leaf or two to the suspension in the back and one in the front & larger tires. Now it handles great. Ford should have stiffened the rear suspension to handle the load it is meant to carry. Went to Yellowstone a month after we had it and got 17-19 mpg with it, and that was a lot of mountain driving.

Opt for the 7.3L.Diesel with 3.73 axle ratio. Excellent fuel mileage. Not uncommon to achieve 20 mpg plus, solo. 13 to 14 mpg pulling a 31 foot Holiday Rambler travel trailer. No significant repairs made or required so far. 37700 miles currently on the odmometer. Excellent performance. Would indeed, buy another one. Fits in my standard size garage. No problems parking it. Handles well solo or pulling the trailer

Lots of time on the road traveling with family. You can take whatever you want with you. Visibility and height are a great advantage.
