    I was very interested in the Excursion with the 7.3L diesel when we had four kids, a dog, and all their gear to haul around. The only reason I didn't pull the trigger was because I was concerned about being able to park it some places. It was big, beautiful, and the interior was light years nicer than a Suburban.

    If Ford reintroduced the Excursion today, they wouldn’t be able to keep them on the lot.

      Interesting. I just commented on the main thread here that I once saw a King Ranch trim Excursion that had three sets of doors, four total seating rows. I assume that this is part of the KR package, but it may have been a custom job unrelated to the KR trim. I have seen others since then on the road, but not close enough to know if they also have the KR badging and upgrades.
      If I had the money (including for fuel and repairs) and opportunity I’d certainly buy one like that. It was/is the longest non-commercial vehicle I have ever seen.

    Part of it was that, compared to the Suburban, the Excursion seemed less refined for the money. The engines were horrid gas-guzzlers with the V8 and especially the V10 lucky to hit 10 mpg. They were unwieldy in most handling tests. And soon after this came out, the Middle East war(s) started, oil prices were all over the place and being a massive guzzler wasn't the best image, and there were far more smaller cars on the road then and the Excursion looked like it would crush them.
    Today, the huge SUVs/CUVs get far better mileage, are safer, and with tech, can actually handle. I'm surprised Ford hasn't tried this again and toss the Expedition stretch version behind.

    5-6 years ago I realized I needed a huge SUV 4x4 and I preferred Ford flavor. I'm more into late 60s-mid 80s cars so really wasn't sure what was out there. I fell in love with the Lincoln Navigator specifically 1st gen and ended up with a black and tan 99 4x4 Navigator. This beast is perfect ....and then I saw an Excursion. 😱 THATS what I really needed but after watching several vids on them I've realized what little cargo space my Gator lacks that the Excursion can provide it compensates for in handling and comfort that the Excursion can't give me. I love my Gator and have no plans to ever part with it but that's not to say I wouldn't own an Excursion along with it if the price was right. I know where there's one right now on the cheap but some of its wear and tear raises red flags but still.

    I was surprised Ford let Chevy have a big tow vehicle so long without competing. Every time I saw a Suburban it was towing some big camper trailers. Thank Pat, another great video.

    Great vehicle. One other problem was how much value it lost driving it off the lot.

    I was waiting after the Ford Explorer, then the Ford Excursion, for them to come out with the Ford Extinction. Never happened.

    i ordered an SD in 2000, i got $600 worth (which was a lot) of options for getting a manual trans. They were incentivizing so the autos could go in the excursions. The irony is I would have paid them extra for the maual.

    I would love to own excursion. Owend 86 F150 then hand 96 explorer then upgraded to 99 expedition. Then moved in to 03 f350 99 f350 and know 16 f350. But get a excursion on clean not beat the hell is just crazy prices

    Chevy should have taken some notes from the Excursion amd made a diesel version. Even today a 6.6 Duramax would be amazing.

    This is wasteful? An enclosed body seems way more practical than a pickup bed thats empty 90% of the year. Body on frame is way more durable and based on the comments people still love these. The 7.3 diesel seems to make a bit more sense than a V10 tho :)

    Fun Fact : There was a planned 6 doors (3 doors per side, 4 row SUV) Excursion. It would have been very popular as a limo.

  • @benjaminrobinson3842
    @benjaminrobinson3842 9 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Once, I saw a black Excursion that had been stretched to have *six* doors. It didn't look like a limousine or professional car either -- just a factory-built four-row Excursion that the factory never built. (It also took up two parking spots.) I'd like to meet the guy who looked at an Excursion and thought, "I dunno ... I like it, but do you have anything, you know, bigger?"

    Woah the naming convention was NOT "EX". The naming convention was length or size of a trip and actually started with Escape then Explorer, Expedition, and finally Excursion.
