  Well pleased - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By 2002 excursion - December 7 - 9:17 pm

  Very pleased with this truck. With 4 kids and a dog, the space is well needed and used. I went from a 2000 F- 250 to the Excursion and can still get the same loads in the Excursion if needed.

  What a great truck/suv. Hard to find and there is a reason why. Reliability and ready to roll when needed

  Excursion is awsome - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By truckman - June 12 - 5:03 pm

  Have seen bad accidents involving Excursions and they have proven incredably safe. The ride is very good even thought it is built on a F-250 frame and it will pull hard with any size tow load. My diesel has over 130k miles on it and most are towing miles and still have had no problems. Im also impressed with the bodys build quality. The only problem I have had is every year I go to Pensacola, Florida and on a 10 or 12 mile stretch of highway 10 the electronics radio, gauges cut out randomly then return to normal, this has happened in the same spot the last four years, it still runs fine and dosent happen anywhere else but I just thought it was funny.

  Ford SUV - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By Mike - December 1 - 9:40 pm

  Been a Ford fan my whole life this monster of an SUV has never failed me what so ever. For the size its got good mpg, and it can have plenty of people in them at once. It can tow just about any thing a truck can as well, which is good for me because I love to go camping in a camper and take my boat places.

  The bomb diggity - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By Dave - April 8 - 4:53 pm

  This truck is the best vehicle I have ever owned. Its big, bad, and hungry for fun. I have five kids in it at all times and we love it. I hope I can find a new one in the future. Weve had maintenance issues only and it has 80,000+ miles.

  Either you LOVE IT or you HATE IT... - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By Jenny5150 - January 14 - 10:32 pm

  I LOVE IT! Its comfortable to be in whether a driver or passenger (front, rear or 3rd row) and Im 61"! Its not exactly a smooth ride, but I consider this vehicle a truck, not a luxury SUV. My husband I purchased it for its function (cargo capacity and towing ability.) We bought this truck/suv knowing fully well that the fuel economy would bite. How could you think otherwise? Im already brokenhearted knowing that Ford will no longer be making the Excursion.

  peerless - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By boat fancier - January 7 - 2:13 pm

  At 107,000 only repair is rear end. Ford indicates no maintenance required - bad idea. 18 mpg summer, 17 winter at 75 mph. Still on original brakes. Harsh ride made up for by large comfortable seats. Excellent visibility. Upright driver position = no backache making 800 mile day quite doable. There is simply no vehicle in which you can carry as much or pull as much so far so cheaply in safety and comfort. Ford also has best am radios.

  Safety FIRST - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By Twins Dad - January 6 - 12:29 am

  I bought this to travel with my newborn twins when they got here. What a great truck. Lots of space for toys and strollers and groceries. Never had a problem in any weather. I like the respect it gets. Known as Godzilla to family and friends. Replaced the front brakes and the exhaust to vented disks and a Banks exhaust. Just the right finishing touches. The gas is a drag to buy but as I said safety first.

  Diesel MPG - 2002 Ford Excursion
  By Dan - December 1 - 9:38 pm

  This vehicle is too big unless you need to tow something heavy. But the good news is that the diesel gets better gas mileage than any of the V8s in the smaller SUVs. Im getting 17 around town, and 19-20 on the road when I keep the speed down to 60-65. With the price of fuel going ever higher, the fuel savings may someday cancel out the higher acquisition cost of the big engine. Get Michelin tires. They cut the road noise in half.
