The excursion: best family car or work truck on the planet.
The 2000 Ford excursion is great but it does have its pro's and con's such as. It is a huge gas hog but gets good mpg. The excursion is great for a work vehicle or a family car (but better than a minivan) it has cup holders in the 2nd seating area which is very convenient. It has an amazing crash record so if you got in an accident you would be safer. We just recently got a new Bluetooth speaker that connects to our phones easily and our daughter loves it! We have had this car for almost 20 years and it has been very reliable and has passed all smog tests.

Ford Excursion review in the Rockies
It's not all wheel drive. In Colorado it's a problem. There is a lot of 'play' in the steering wheel which is a pain. There is a small leak in the oil line and additional oil is replaced between oil changes. The cab is loud due to road noise and there doesn't seem to be much to be done about it.

Big truck with cool looks
Great utility vehicle - I have over 300,000 miles on original engine and a 6 inch lift. It's got over sized tires, 6.8 liter v10 engine, heavy duty tow built transmission, full entertainment system and many other extras. I also put higher gears in both axles to compensate for the larger tires.

Perfect for large families. Comfortable seating. Drives smooth.
I love this vehicle! This ride seats eight. Big enough for all my children to fit comfortable. Even if they were all in car seats! Heating/AC work perfectly! Has heating/AC in the back where my passengers will ride comfortable. Back windows roll down completely. Way back side windows vent open. Seats fold down so I can haul bigger cargo. Has lighted step boards to see at dark. Has cup holders for all passengers. Has nice sound system. Is a SUV with four wheel drive. Nice for the snow states. Is NOT fuel economy! Has a nice excel when pulling in to faster traffic. Mine has leather seats, heated for the front passengers. Besides being an extra large vehicle, is handles smoothly and glides down highways. I love my ride!

The four by four monster beast
I have a 2000 Ford excursion. It's a v8 and has the 5.4l engine the Triton engine. Which is known for throwing spark plugs the mysterious knock and missing engine oil. But the truck is very reliable. Can handle mudhole, pretty much anything you can throw at her this beast can handle it. I love the cushion seats and like sitting high up. Structurally sound and safe care. Gas guzzler but I love it.

The Ford Excursion - The only SUV worth its weight in gold
Comfortable and imposing on the road, the Excursion is a force to be reckoned with and a joy to drive. With plenty of space inside, and the ability to tow just about anything you might want, the Excursion gets you where you want to go and allows you to bring all your family and toys with you!

I like the color and the trim of the car but most of the car is just bad.
Loud, springs squeak all the time. The transmission is out and out of tune. Fords are not good cars. It brakes done and needs to be fixed all the time. The worst part were the tires. They only lasted 10 months until I was sliding all over the highway when it was snowing outside.

A great vehicle for snow and road hazards!
Living in Montana this is a wonderful vehicle for maneuvering about. I never have to worry about getting stuck! I like the option of having 4 wheel drive. The downside of the vehicle is that it is quite expensive to drive although if, you are a big family this vehicle can be quite convenient because, of the roominess of it. You can fit six people in this vehicle with ease. I also have never had it leak or burn any oil for the eight years I have owned it.

The excursion is great for large families.
If you are a traveler, the power of the v10 will be a great asset. You can climb hills with plenty of ease. But if you are looking for fuel economy, this is not the vehicle for you. . With a family, the 3rd row seat is very convenient. Seats are quite comfortable as well. And for grocery day the ease of loading and unloading through the convenient back door is great.

This truck is a gas hog...
V10...it's a gas hog. I'm not even sure why it was made. They should have all been 7.3s. All should have been fully loaded

Large, spacious gas guzzler.
My vehicle is reliable and basically bulletproof. It fits my family of 5 plus 2 dogs comfortably. We enjoy camping and all my kids are involved with sports, so the extra space is important to us. The gas mileage is awful. I average 12-13 mpg and spend a ton of money on gas each week. I wish I has something that was more economical but I know we would not have the space we love.
