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.

Best big suv on the road - 2004 Ford Excursion
By zak - June 16 - 2:00 amthis is the suv for the traveller who puts on the miles and wants the safety and room to travel. (as long as you can afford the gas and dont mind the shock at the pump when you fill it up.) you couldnt drive a more reliable road hugger on the highway. off road, the truck is solid , tough, and powerful as a bull. No vibration, sway or dippp\ing with this baby. No sir and no maam. Ford tough! Ford Quality. Youll be proud to be an american driving Fords Biggest SUV. Built by americans in Kentucky who have a lot to be proud of with this Ford product!!!

traded in the v10 for the diesel - 2004 Ford Excursion
By garrison - May 28 - 2:00 ami just traded in my 01 v10 excursion for an 04 diesel and absolutely love it (and i live in baltimore city). i use it as an every day vehicle and wouldnt recommend anything else if you need cargo area. this truck looks great, handles good, and has enough power to pull a mountain. gas milage is much better than the v10. the only downside is that nobody wants them so if you do get one dont plan on trading it in or selling it without taking quite a loss!

this truck is great - 2004 Ford Excursion
By bob marshall - May 9 - 2:00 ami have always wanted this truck. i traded in her 98 expedition.my limiteds color is mineral gray which is a very rich color.i had a remote starter,power sunroof and navigation installed by the dealer.i had the nav unit un-installed and the original cd6-radio re- installed.the reason being is that with the nav unit you lose your radio controls in the steering wheel and the console and you can only listen to dvd movies on the headphones.my wife did not care for these inconviences so the original unit went back in.i am getting 14 mpg in in-town driving and with the 44 gallon tank it is weeks between fill-ups

By rob68 - May 8 - 2:00 ammore subtle than an h2 with more useful interior room. great for road trips and hauling the gang around. nothing like getting flipped off by the gal in the prius.

My Excursion - 2004 Ford Excursion
By DougXX - April 30 - 2:00 amIdeal vehicle for tailgating. You can easily haul BOTH person and their gear. This vehicle is solid and has excellent build quality. The V-10 gets 14+ on the highway, 13+ otherwise and has sufficient power. Far exceeds roominess and feel of friends (smaller!) GM Tahoe XL SUV. ONE GREAT VEHICLE.
