The Ford Excursion was a full-size sport utility vehicle produced by the Ford Motor Company between model years 2000 and 2005 (2006 in Mexico). It was the largest SUV in the lineup while it was produced. Based on the Super Duty pickup truck platform, it offered large V8 (gasoline and diesel) and V10 (gasoline) engines (while it was also Ford’s only V10-powered SUV), and seating for up to 9 passengers. Along with the Hummer H2, it is a popular SUV for conversion into a limousine. It was designed to slot above the Ford Expedition as the flagship in the company’s SUV lineup. The Excursion was designed to be classified as a heavy-duty vehicle, as for commercial or rural use, with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8,500 lb (3,900 kg) , which exempted the vehicle from Corporate Average Fuel Economy (CAFE) fuel economy regulations and quoting United States Environmental Protection Agency? (EPA) fuel economy estimates [1]. Its position in the Ford SUV lineup was replaced in 2007 by an extended-length version of the Expedition. The last Excursion was produced on September 30, 2005, at Ford’s Louisville plant, although the last Excursions were sold as 2006 models for the Mexican market. Production was canceled to focus on Super Duty trucks.

Introduced in 1999 as a 2000 model year, the Excursion was immediately criticized for being too large to fit in most home garages and its poor fuel economy (around 12 mpg-US (20 L/100 km; 14 mpg-imp)-14 mpg-US (17 L/100 km; 17 mpg-imp) highway, 8 mpg-US (29 L/100 km; 9.6 mpg-imp) city, and 10 mpg-US (24 L/100 km; 12 mpg-imp)-11 mpg-US (21 L/100 km; 13 mpg-imp) combined highway and city) relative to the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, its chief competitors [2]. Shortly before launch, the Sierra Club awarded the Excursion an “Exxon Valdez” award for this reason, in reference to the ill-fated oil tanker. Sales were initially good, but slowed as gasoline prices rose. In 2003, the 7.3 L Powerstroke diesel was replaced with a more powerful, 6.0 L Powerstroke diesel, giving 0 to 60mph times of under 10 seconds with reduced noise levels. Industry insiders expected Ford to stop producing the Excursion, but sales continued through the 2005 model year, for which it received a minor facelift, and production of the Excursion ended in September 2005.

Ford needed to free up capacity at the Louisville plant that produces the Super Duty pickup trucks. A more fuel efficient, extended-length Expedition, named the Expedition EL (Max in Canada and Mexico), has replaced the Excursion in the company’s lineup for the 2007 model year.

A 4-speed automatic transmission was standard, a 5-speed automatic introduced in 2003, which also saw the availability of an upmarket Eddie Bauer trim line. The grille was updated for 2005. The 5.4L Modular V8 puts out 255 hp (190 kW) & 350 lb·ft (475 N·m). The 6.8L Modular V10 puts out 310 hp (231 kW) & 425 lb·ft (576 N·m). The 6.0L Powerstroke Diesel puts out 325 hp (242 kW) & 560 lb·ft (759 N·m).

The truck uses code U4 in the 5th and 6th positions of the VIN.
