Space in the inside is wonderful!
Performance and engine run wonderfully. Truck is built tough, have had it for 14 years now, have replaced some menial parts like pistons but nothing major. Still has the original engine, approx 440,000 miles on it. The space in the back is big enough for a queen size bed and is perfect for long road trips with the family.

It comfortably fits 3 car seats across in the third row!
I love how wide the third row is. It comfortably seats my family of 8. I wish it got better gas mileage.

Needs a lot of space for parking.
V10 engine, plenty of pulling power. Lots of cargo room. Front and rear heat-a/c make it very comfortable.

Unfortunately it is not made anymore but if you find a used one it will be a steal.
I have no complaints. I like it that it is the biggest SUV ever made. It's made of a heavy duty truck. The engine is extremely large so it has enough power. The torque for long trips it is a must.

I like the way it drives and that it is roomy.
No complaints I love this vehicle it is well built and is in awesome shape and its roomy I would like electric side steps for it so it would be easier for elders to get in and out of.

Reliable, built sturdy, easy wear and tear.
Have had issues with the lift struts on back window and brake issues. I also have had a piece of the tail pipe break off and have had to have a new piece welded on. There has been minor drive train issues that have resulted in trips to the mechanic but nothing over $100 fixes.

If you have a large family this is defiantly the vehicle to go with.
I was wanting an Expedition EL but also wanted a diesel so I ended up by an Excursion with a 7.3. I actually get 18 miles to the gallon which is better than the '15 F250 we also have. So much space!! I use it for work and family. Would love to buy a second one.

Excursion mighty comfortable safe ride.
To bad they don't produce this vehicle any more. This is by far best vehicle. Has insane room and a conformable safe ride. I tow trailer weekly without any issue.

It is old. The passenger window, passenger sliding door, & ac don't work. It has been faithful over the years, for the most part.
It is old. It needs to be replaced. It does get us from point a to point b.

2002 white ford excursion
It has been very reliable and has lots of room for our family. I have 3 kids with another on the way so room is important. We love the smooth ride and all the features. The kids enjoy the leather interior. We have not had any mechanical issues or problems since we have owned the car.

Old School Reliability and Strength
This vehicle is very consistent and reliable and is functioning strong well over a decade of its original manufacture date. The engine was replaced two years ago but the overall vehicle structure, electronics, interior linings and A/C systems have all functioned consistently and well all these years.

It is super roomy. It is quiet and it is very reliable. I would recommend anyone who can drive a big car, to get one.
My van is actually an e150 but that wasn't an option. I love how much room it has. It has a tv and a tow hitch.
