Overview & Reviews

The Excursion's final year of production is 2004 so there are few changes from last year. Ford's excellent new 6.0-liter turbodiesel V8 replaces last year's 7.3-liter diesel. Besides offering considerably more horsepower and torque, the new engine has cleaner emissions and gets better gas mileage. Several new options are available; these include wireless headphones for the rear-seat entertainment package and an auto-dimming rearview mirror. Body-side cladding and illuminated running boards are no longer available on XLT models. Also note that the trim level structure has been revised slightly, as base XLS and midlevel XLT trim replace XLT Value and XLT Premium.

• Substantial passenger and cargo capacity, impressive towing ability, diesel engine option.

• Unwieldy size, trucklike driving characteristics, poor fuel economy, high sticker price.

  Excursio - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By Sheonemo - February 7 - 2:00 am

  Excursion is the best SUV in the world!! You can haul like any and evrything that you can think of and still have room for the kids, their stuff and yours as well!! The only thing is that you would come out alot better (fuel wise)if you were to purchase the diesel engine. The gas engine burns alot within the city, but on the highway the gas hibernates!!

  BEST SUV ON ROAD FOR SIZE - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By HIRAM 1 - February 4 - 2:00 am

  THE VERY BEST TOO BAD FORD IS GIVING INTO THE ENVIROMENTALIST. THIS IS YOUR LAST YEAR TO BUY AN EXCURSION. I BOUGHT MY 2ND ONE WHEN THERE WAS NOTHING WRONG WITH MY FIRST ONE JUST TO PICK UP 2 YEARS ON MODEL.

  Great Family Vehicle - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By derb - February 2 - 2:00 am

  We take our kids, their friends, our friends- a lot of people on short trips, family vacations etc. With our gear and family we can fit everything. It drives great and I always feel SAFE! It is hard to park sometimes, but I find it easier to BACK into a space. You get used to it and now I cant stand to ride in a small car.

  The excursion is a great SUV but its fuel economy is very poor. the excursion`s relability needs to improve.The peformance is also bad.How can you pay over $40,000 for an SUV that doesn`t perform well.

  7.3 ltr and love it - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By tiny wife - January 24 - 2:00 am

  We just got back from 6100 miles trip out west, best mileage 20.1, and 17.6 over all. roomiest vehicle ever owned wolud like diffrent front center console, one that would convert to a seat like some others out there. just rotated tires and balanced them, also checked alignment wasnt off enough to change and brakes looked like they never been used. not bad with 13100 miles in just short of six monthes.it didnt come with a rear sway bar so we added one makes big difference.

  2004 Excursion eddie bauer deisel - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By deank - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Without a doubt the roomy interior and averaging 17 miles per gallon combined highway and city driving with the powerfull and smooth deisel engine made this an easy decision for me and my towing and cargo needs

  Excursion, just Outstanding!!!!! - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By cptntims - January 20 - 2:00 am

  I am in the Mining business and drive between 80,000 to 90,000 miles a year and the Excursion has been maintance free except for Oil changes and tires. I currently have 144,000 miles and believe I can push her to 400,000 before any real problems occur. If you buy a Excursion make it a Diesel and not gas. Pretty good considering its weight is just 200 pounds short of 10,000 lbs. If you have never driven one you will feel like "King of the road". If you are in traffic and need to get over, most people are just scared to death of getting hit and let you over with no problems. I can say I will purchase another Excursion in the future.

  I love my Excursion - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By teatime - January 13 - 2:00 am

  This is my 2nd excursion,the first was a v-8 gas, 8-9 mpg around town. We traded it for a Honda van. We got better gas mileage but lost alot of interior room and security of size. We purchased a 2002 excursion ultimate diesel and we Love it. We will not trade it unless we get another excursion diesel. It is a little better on the gas but love the security and inside room. We also had 2 Suburbans, they had brake problems and did not feel as solid in the ride. The whole family loves the excursion over any of the other vehicles weve owned.
