    I love Excursions! I sold my first one (a V10) a few years ago after owning it for 15 years. I missed it so much that I bought another V10 in November. Ford really needs to listen to their customers and start making them again.

      @@jujjiphool9707 In late 1999 for the 2000 model year, Ford released Excursion to compete with the Chevy Suburban. They sold about 65,000 units, WAY more than they expected. However in 2001 they only sold about 15,000, and even less in 2002. They gave it an update in 2003 with 2 new trims and more tech, but after the 2005 model year they decided they couldn't keep the sales high enough, which is why they discontinued it.

    We owned a 2000 Ford Excursion Limited Version for 10 years, basically hauled our 4 kids around in it while they were growing up. Great Machine, was always reliable. A little big but you get used to it after you drive it a while. Only thing I hated about it was 10 miles per gallon!

    A couple of years ago my wifes company planned a trip. I was chosen to drive the V10 Excursion with 8 people and the luggage that comes with them from Denver, CO to Salida, Co to do some white water rafting. it had no problem climbing up the Kenosha Pass with all the weight. Also had no problem cruising at 75mph either.

    What gets me about these things is that 10 years ago the only time you'd see them is in the ghetto areas...all worn out, spewing black smoke and body panels hanging off. Now I hear that a really clean 7.3 Limited or Bauer will sell for nearly 40 grand. Those V10s are good motors...but a buddy of mine who had one told me he couldn't get out of the single digits no matter how hard he tried. Said it did better on the highway...around 13. Good, but thirsty. The new Godzilla (which I have) is better in town, around 11...and it's getting close to 15 on the highway if I take it easy. The drawback with these older vehicles is the transmission...just not enough gears.

    I have 2 2000 excursions. One white 4wd and one red rwd both limiteds with the V-10 motors. Some years ago I took my white one to the dealership because it seemed to be using oil. The meachanic told me that the V-10 was designed to blow an oil aerasol out thru the exhaust valves to keep them in good shape. So it wasn't that it was burning oil but rather it was just a design feature of the V-10 motor.

Ended up with 22 people two goats 5 caged cats one dog ( mine, pains me to put him the category of animals ). Cops gave me escort last five miles and nothing was said about no seat belts and people laying across each other. Then volunteered my excision to pull horse trailers after that. I did not do that run. Good SUV. Believe it has frame of a 350 ford, correct me if I am wrong. Gas mileage sucks. I hear there are plug ins you can buy that will increase your gas mileage but still have not found them. Great for towing boats. But girls get so disappointed when I jump out and I am not as tall as I look sitting in it. ehhh can't have everything. 😇
