My 2004 is the second Excursion we have owned. We tow a 10,000 lb. trailer and it has no problem handling the trailer. We get 21 mpg on the interstate when not towing, and 11 mpg when towing. Factoring what we tow, 6 adults, and gear, we are getting fantastic mileage. Hope Ford continues to build this great truck.
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.
15 years later still on the road

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...
expected much more

i decided to buy an excursion diesel to be able to tow the toy hauler and bring the family along. i was very dissapointed with the quality performance and fuel mileage. i got 14 mpg on the highway (i have a light foot). when towing the 8000lb toyhauler i got 7mpg on the highway and had to go peddal to the floor on every hill and the truck still slowed down to 40 mph and struggled to make it up small hills. the truck overheated on me 3 times while towing in tow-haul mode so i started towing without it. the truck always struggled with the trailer. My 5.7 liter tundra towed the same trailer without a problem. I always thought ford was the best of all american car makers. obviously i was wrong

We have had Suburbans and prefer the ride of the Excursion. We ordered our Excursion after my husband purchased his F-350 4 door. Both vehicles are diesel which you cannot get with the Suburbans. The mileage is as good, if not better than our previous vehicles.
