June 1, 2020 and still on the road with 424,000 miles. Original Transmission, Engine & A/C. 1/2 a dozen alternators and 10 sets of tires. At 225,000 I did a full cab off head gasket replacement and stud set and replaced the injectors since we were already in there. Through 2017 it was my daily driver (now an F-250 with a cap), but I still put on 10-15K a year on her. I anxiously await a potential replacement with rumors surrounding the trademark extension, lets hope so. There is a major need for a 3/4 ton large SUV. A Suburban cannot safely handle a 10K trailer (I know, I have tried) and is only rated for 6,300 lbs The Expedition is beautiful yet too refined and tops out at 6,000 lbs, yet a properly equipped 1/2 ton pickup (F-150) can handle 13K, what gives...
We love it!

We don't tow but carry larger loads and the space is amazing. But, it's the comfort we enjoy. The SUV is so fun to drive and the Powerstroke 6.0L diesel has to be driven to be believed. The acceleration is like a big V8 but we are getting 18 mpg on the highway--and only have 6,500 miles. I feel my wife is VERY safe in the vehicle and long trips are a dream for my whole family. We have the DVD player which is truly fun for our two boys on trips. Looks large, drives like an Explorer.

This is our second Excursion. First was a 2002. The first was so good I had to get a 2005 because Ford stopped making them. This is the best highway vehicle I ever had. Family vacations are wonderful. Plenty of room, comfortable and safe. We have driven thru some sizable storms and the stability of this beast is excellent. Performance in the snow and on dirt roads is flawless. This vehicle is so solid I hit a deer at 35mph and there was no damage to the car. There is simply no better or safer vehicle for my family. 90,000m on the 2002 without any significant repairs. 32,000 on the 2005 with no problems yet.

We purchased a pair (2) 2005 Ford Excursion Limited's with the 6.0L turbo diesel. We traded in a pair (2) of Volvo's. With three (3) growing kids and lots of gear, the Volvo's just could not carry the loads without going to roof racks. The diesel Excursion is a treat. So much power, so much room, so much safety. selected againt Chevy/ GMC, Caddy because we love Ford diesels since they run much stronger and longer. Plus, those are all smaller interiors. I wish Ford would revisit making the Excursion. We bought two (2) of the 2005 model with the Limited package. We will replace the engines if they ever need it, with the new updated Powerstroke found in the 2009 Super Duty pick-ups.
Huge and beautiful

I bought my Excursion a year ago and I never have a problem with it. Most important for me is that my kids love it. I wish they will continue to make them. Excursions are gorgeous and very comfortable.
