WONDERFUL VEHICLE. ONLY DIESEL SUV AVAILABLE FUEL MILAGE 18 - 20MG HAVE LARGE FAMILY GALLONS PER PERSON IS WAY LOWER THAN 2 CARS IT REPLACE. IM 62 TALL ONLY VEHICLE I TESTED THAT I DID NOT HAVE TO HAVE SEAT ALL THE WAY BACK TO BE COMFORTABLE. SUBURBAN CANT HOLD A CANDLE TO IT. FOR SPACE OR ECONOMY SINCE THEY HAVE NO DIESEL. I ALSO TOW A LARGE TT NOOO PROBLEM. LOVES TO PULL 31 FOOTER AT 65 13.5 MPG. TRY THAT WITH A 8 LITER GAS
Ultimate Hauler
This is mysecond Excursion purchased in the last four years. The 2004 6.0 liter diesel engine and redesigned transmission are vastly improved over my 2000 7.3 diesel engine and transmission.This new vehicle has unlimited power and is delivered smoothly and very quietly for a diesel once it has reached temperature.Fuel economy looks promising and will certainly improve as the engine breaks in.
Brakes Suck
I have a 2002 that I have replaced the brakes on this vehicle 5 times in 120000 miles. They are terribly undersized for the weight of the vehicle and dealer denies knowledge of any problem, even though I have talked to other owners and mechanics, 100% agree that Ford has a major design problem with the brakes. We finally replaced the brakes with racing brakes that were cross-drilled and slotted to disapate the heat (not a Ford product) and know the brakes are working much better.

I feel if you have the right style you will enjoy this vehicle.
Dual Excursion Family
We own two Excursion, a 2001 and now a 2004 - We love them! Great for pulling heavy things and for a large family. Plenty of room for kids, friends and all the gear
