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.

  Limited 6.0 - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By judoman - February 24 - 7:29 am

  Had a Suburban, but wanted a diesel, so i researched the Excursion and got the diesel. I do almost all highway driving, so went the first 120,000 on the original tires! The only was problem was the alternator that was $500. Now at @ 165,000, have minor problems from letting truck sit during the summer and using my Honda for gas mileage!

  The 6.0L diesel is great gives excellent performance and on highway I get 19-20 MPG, in city gets 15-16 MPG. Drives like a truck-what it is. Feels secure on road at highway speeds. I will keep this vehicle as long as possible, is a great tow vehicle and carries a load besides. Downside is needs lots of room for U turns, is not a city commuter. I would buy another if they are available when this one wears out. Have had only one problem with a sensor in fuel system, fixed rapidly by dealer.

  We are very happy with the Ford Excursion! Seats 8 comfortably. We love the four wheel drive. Excellent towing, lots of cargo space. Has 33" tires and drives great! Love the front and rear AC, DVD, and wireless headphones great for the kids.

  Best SUV on Market - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By limbo - May 22 - 2:00 am

  This monster SUV fits in great when you have several kids. It drives great on the open road, tows anything, and gets great Gas mileage with the TurboDiesel. I have had no problems with it at all. I am getting 15 miles per gallon around the city.I consider that great mileage considering the size of this SUV. very comfortable ride on the open road!

  Diesel Limited - 2004 Ford Excursion
  By JUDOMAN007 - May 17 - 4:36 am

  Bought new and have been driving since. I have 105,000 miles and still have original tires, brakes. Mileage has been an average of 16.8-16.9 though I do mostly highway driving. Only problem I had was the alternator went around 75,000 miles and parts are expensive for this big truck. It is fun to drive and can carry just abuot anything! Great value, too bad they got rid of this truck line!
