The redesigned 2018 expedition full-sized SUV shaves more than 200.
The Ford excursion has great power and can fit so much in it. This vehicle has a great capacity for holding many people and packages. The towing power is phenomenal with a 6. 8 engine. Es. The 3. 5-liter, turbocharged v6 engine is mated to a 10-speed automatic transmission and provides effortless motivation. We got 16 mpg overall, which is on par for this class. Handling is rather ungainly, and the ride is a bit stiff. The cabin is quiet and the third-row seat that is truly suitable for adults. Both the second- and third-row seats can be folded flat with the push of a button. The controls are easy to use, including the rotary knob gear selector. Available safety features include automatic braking, l.

It is comfortable for long trips, performance of this vehicle is really good.
I love this SUV!! Ya it is big but we need it. We have our own business and it gets used a lot. We have 5 kids and there's enough room/space that there's no fighting that someone is touching me. We haven't had any problems with this SUV at all. It tows very well I am not afraid to tow anything with this SUV.

2001 7.3 Diesel it’s best!
The best suv that I ever had. I bought this vehicle about 19 years ago with only 15000 miles, now after 250000 still going strong. 4 or 5 years ago, I did change the alternator. Other than that, just regular maintenance. Good miles, plenty of power, lots of room… I’ll keep this until the end.

Ford Diesel Excursion -Reliable & Dependable
I love my Ford Excursion. It is a diesel engine. We added some accessories so it gets better mileage. Average 24 miles per gallon. Very roomy with leather seats and plenty of room for luggage. Third row seating can be taken out and center seats fold down.

It's huge and it can carry a very large amount of items or large individual items easily.
I love our 2001 Ford Excursion. It is diesel and gets great mileage per gallon. It's been very dependable through all these years. We can load up and carry so many different things in the back, which is covered and inclosed. Third row seat is a big advantage to have.

It has LOTS of miles on it at this point and still runs great!
I love my car. When we bought I had 4 kids in the house and needed the 3rd row seating. It's great for traveling and very comfortable. My only complaint is that it is so big that I can't always get through drive-throughs, like at restaurants or banks.

It is huge. We can fit lots of people for trips.
Love the versatility and interior space that comes with my vehicle. Towing capacity is also a perk as we travel with something attached quite often.

Negative Owner Reviews

The most important thing is the truck uses too much gas.
I like being able to get everywhere I need to be. I don't like how it rides. I like that it's made in America. I don't like how big it is.
accountCircle Jayden V
Very big and can be difficult to park.
Some engine problems here and there but for the most part my excursion is very reliable and comfortable.
accountCircle Val K
I love how great it was on gas, to nice amount of room it had.
It was nice, got me to point A to point B. It was a lovely first car to buy. I loved the way it rode. It was a nice first car to help with getting to work and school. Good on gas. It was nice being able to have a trustworthy car to help me get around. Now someone else in the family has it.
