It is very dependable. I have my grandchildren in it all the time so I'm glad it is reliable.
I love how that my car is so comfortable and roomy. It has plenty of head space so that you don't feel all scrounged in and smothery. Because it is so large I don't worry about getting into a wreck and getting crushed. I feel safe in it.

It really is very spacious and has held up really well over the years.
I really, really love the size of the cargo area. It has enough room to haul an entire wrestling team gear. If they still made them, I would purchase another one.

Reliability, ALWAYS STARTS LIKE MY 75 T-BIRD
No Problems except for the need to replace stock rotors with vented ones. It's a heavy vehicle!!!!

It's a beast. Driven it through the worst storms, floods and snow and never got stranded.
Most comfortable reliable vehicle. Feel safe and secure. Diesel prices went up the day we bought it. Fuel injectors had to be replaced at the same time. Roomy. Never worried about my kids when they took it.

Great dog/family car. Take a trip
Great driver for long trips. Great gas mileage and fill ups are a breeze. It holds a lot and dogs seem to enjoy it

The towing capacity and reliability is outstanding.
I like the size and the storage capacity. I do not like that they do not make it anymore. I like how durable and reliable it is.

Towing capacity: 6,100 to 11,000 lbs, it's good that the gas tank holds 44 gallons of gas
My ford Vehicle is old and outdated for me because when I'm going up hill its complains that it's bothering all that but when Im on the highway it's always jumping when I'm going 75.

The interior is very spacious. The Eddie Bauer feature is beautiful done.
Pro's:My Ford Excursion is a quality Truck. I've owned it for approximately 5 years. Very few maintenance concerns. Other than a couple oil leaks and regular maintenance. Cons: It is a 6.0 Diesel and the fuel cost or fairy expensive. If repair work is necessary the cost are generally higher if the engine needs repair.

Pros from Owners

likeFilled Sarah P.

Family can ride together. It is safe and easy to drive. I can easily get my groceries in it. The ride is smooth. The outside is easy to clean. The interior is easy to keep up. The storage compartments are a great bonus. The seats are comfortable.

Cons from Owners

dislikeFilled Sarah P.

The diesel gas cost is high. The cost of repairs can be very high. The car didn't come with a warning system for the fuel so cold weather can cause problems. It is not easy to park. It takes a while to cool and warm the car depending on the weather.
