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.

  Great Big Ride - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By Powermom - April 8 - 2:00 am

  I love my Excursion. I always wanted one with the Powerstroke and it has been everything I thought it would be. Smooth ride, GREAT engine, space, power, fuel economy - what else can I say. Oh yeah, and it looks great, too! My husband always had diesel pickups that I had driven and I knew I wanted one in this. It was a super choice. If you drive a lot and want superior engine performance, interior space and comfort, this SUV is the ONLY choice.

  I drove the Expedition, I drove the new 4 door F-150...neither of them compared to the Excursion! The engine is awesome, the interior room is unbelievable and the driving performance blows me away. I LOVE it!

  The Life of the Ford Excursion - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By David Vanderbilt Nus - April 8 - 2:00 am

  I think that this is a great car, really, I have had Range rovers in the past, still do and have had sububrbans, and I prefer this always. I Last and not least I have been hearing rumors that the excursion will cease to be in production after 2005, and I really hope Thanks, Charles Nussbaum

  Make sure you get the diesel. It offers better fuel mileage and is more reliable.

  Love the Deisel! - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By Emmie - March 30 - 2:00 am

  I love my Excursion! The Deisel gets great mileage, 20-24 per gallon if I keep it 65 mph and under. The size really isnt all that bad! Just as big as a pick-up. And towing is incredible, dont even realize there is anything back there is is so smooth and effortless (6k boat).

  florida truck - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By jboneezer - March 30 - 2:00 am

  This is our 3rd Excursion. We lemon lawed our 02 because of a thumping noise in the front end, unexpected stalling, and a several squeaks in the interior. Now we have a 2004, which has some of the same troubles. We still like the vehicle and have decided to ignore these troubles....for now.

  2004 Ford Excursion Limited 6.0 Diesel - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By Lovin the Excursion - March 28 - 2:00 am

  Outside of having great luck with Ford, I turned to the Excursion because the Diesel engine. At first I thought the Excursion would be too large, but coming from a Supercrew, the size is virtually the same. Here are some other notes- Engine-THE ONLY WAY TO GO WITH THIS VEHICLE-DIESEL!! It is awesome! I drive mostly in city like conditions, and have been averaging 17 miles per gallon. For those that want to know if it is worth paying the extra $$ for a diesel, I did a comparison versus the V10 at 10 miles per gallon, and the ROI is about 48,000 miles of driving. O

  Awesome Vehicle - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By cdy - March 25 - 2:00 am

  If you want comfort and room you go with the Excursion. I have had mine for 4 years now and I would not take anything for it. There is always room for anything and everyone. If you are looking for good gas mileage you are not looking for an Excursion. I have learned that there are compromises in life and you drive what you want to drive and I choose to drive the EXCURSION. AWESOME VEHICLE.
