The seats are big and comfortable. We have two captains chairs in the middle row.
Its 4x4 and suspension could be better. I wish it had auto locking hubs, but it has enough seats for my big family to fit comfortably.

No power if you have no turbo.
The only problem I have ran into was the turbo hose breaking on me twice. And having to replace both batteries,

It's big and tough and reliable.
It's huge and holds and hauls a lot of stuff. It's so big you can see everything. It goes through anything. I love the color. I love the big v10 engine. It's a great value it's very reliable.

It is a great family vehicle for traveling! Holds your family plus all your packing needs
I love the size, the amount of stuff I can haul in it, that all my kids can comfortably fit in their car seats, and we can haul trailer. It is an older vehicle so it has flaws and mechanical things are starting to appear.

Reliable, family vehicle for all weather conditions
My Excursion has never left me stranded. Very dependable, good in all weather conditions and seats 7 comfortably. We took it from Minnesota to Florida for a family trip and we left in winter in a bad blizzard. I wouldn't have wanted another vehicle to travel in.

Everybody should pay vehicle in cash, no debt or make a monthly payment on it.
It is almost 300,000 miles on it, it is rusty, uses lots gas when tow it.

Owning a 2004 Ford Excursion
Will pull trailers if needed, whether they be flatbeds or horse trailers. Has room for 8 people with the back seat installed. If you choose to take the back seat out, it adds about 3 more feet of trunk space. The railing on top is useful for hauling canoes/kayaks/etc. We bought ours used and have had it for about 8 years, and it's still running well.

Powerful towing capable SUV.
My vehicle is a Ford 2004 excursion a very popular luxury powerful SUV that is no longer produced so rare as well. This vehicle is a very powerful diesel with great towing capabilities as well as good gas mileage. The engine has been upgraded with a chip so it is more powerful than others. This vehicle is roomy, three rows of seats which can be removed to accommodate anything that needs moving etc.. This is in excellent condition.

How Reliable Is The 2004 Ford Excursion?

Right now it has the fuel pump out that we are fixing this week. The air doesn't like to charge very well so we need to get it serviced.

Is The 2004 Ford Excursion A Good Value?

We paid 4,000.00 which was a little high but we needed something with more room. This was good for our family of 6.
