Excursion Limited receives a chrome side strip, automatic climate control and power-adjustable pedals. New options on XLT include power-adjustable pedals and a power front passenger seat. Limited models can be equipped with memory seats and pedals, second-row captain's chairs and redundant controls for climate and audio on the steering wheel. Both XLT and Limited will get a DVD-based entertainment system for rear-seat passengers later this year. Skid plates are no longer optional.

  • NOT A GREAT CHOICE! - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    THIS SUV IS THE GREATEST GAS GUZZLER I HAVE EVER SEEN. 7.6L ENGINE WILL SPIT YOUR GAS OUT IN AN INSTANT! I AGREE ITS SPACIOUS, BUT THE RELIABILITY IS VERY LOW JUDGING THAT AFTER 2-3 YEARS OF USE, THE VALUE OF IS GOING TO DROP LOWWWW. STICK WITH A SEQUOIA AND TRUST TOYOTAS ENGINE....AND AFTER ALL...ITS A FORD!!!! ITLL BREAK APART SO FAST YOU WOULDNT KNOW WHAT HIT YOU. IM NO FORD HATER BUT USING REAL EVIDENCE OF FORDS RELIABILITY, I CAN SAY THAT IT IS VERY POOR.

  • The Beast - 2002 Ford Excursion

    The Beast is a pleasure to drive. Its a vehicle that demands respect everywhere you go. Other cars move out of the way especially on the highway. I bought the Beast to carry my four kids in. I took a drive to Disneyland as well as Mexico, and it gave me an average of 15 miles a gallon at speeds of 80-85. I bought the 7.3 Liter diesel. No smogging to do and Ive been told the engines last a long time.

  • Great SUV - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    This Excursion is a great SUV. Runs very good, rides great, and tows anything you have. It does get poorer mileage, but not that bad. A Suburban doesnt come close with its cheap, rattling interior and poor overall quality.

  • IT DOESNT GET ANY BETTER THAN THIS - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    The best vehicle Ive owned!!! I have owned the competition and my Excursion has far exceeded all my expectations. The Powerstroke is highly recommended and the resulting fuel economy is well worth the extra money for the engine (15.5/18.0 MPG Im a leadfoot).

  • great truck - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    this mamoth of a truck for its overall size & weight is a excellent all around pleasure & workhorse..its trucky ride is acceptable because its feeling of safety and underbody strenth..on smooth roads it rides pleasurable..steering & braking are a little trucky but turning this beast is no problem....the turbo diesel engine is worth the extra money..its power is unbelievable and fuel economy under loaded conditions is about 16 mpg... a tight well built vehicle,no rattles or squeaks..

  • super - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    This is by far the best suv on the road I see Ford put some time behind this one. Its well worth the little extra gas you go through.

  • No one makes a better suv - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    THe X-curison is by far the best truck/suv ive ever driven, owned, and had the pleasure of being seen in. the power, towing, luxury are the utmost perfect combo. the chevy suburban has nothing on the excursion, even with that 8.1 liter engine which i do not think runs no where near as strong as the v-10 triton.

  • lts a truck first - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    its a tough truck that can handle towing a big camper, 4 kids ,a big dog &my wife thinks is a plesure to drive.

  • I JUST LOVE IT - 2002 Ford Excursion
    By -

    THE EXCURSION IS BY FAR THE BEST SUV OUT THERE NO MATTER WHAT ANYONE SAYS. YOU GET THE SPORTY LOOK, LUXURY, TOWING, ROOMINESS AND CARGO SPACE ALL IN ONE SUV. I USE IT FOR MY DAYCARE, BUT IT STILL HAS ALL THE STYLE FOR A NIGHT ON THE TOWN.

  • Wow - 2002 Ford Excursion
