Overview & Reviews

A new Eddie Bauer trim level debuts. It's equipped similarly to last year's Limited trim and also includes Arizona Beige exterior trim, two-tone leather seating and available second-row captain's chairs. Limited models get as standard equipment a six-disc in-dash CD changer, new aluminum wheels, cherrywood interior trim and a reversible cargo mat. In terms of mechanical changes, a new 6.0-liter turbodiesel engine arrives mid-year with more power and efficiency, connected to an all new five-speed TorqShift automatic transmission. Why anyone would use this mammoth rig to go trail busting we have no idea, but Ford will be offering an off-road package shortly after the first of the year. Finally, all Excursions get revised front suspensions for improved ride and handling.

• Substantial passenger and cargo capacity, impressive towing ability, diesel engine option, available on-board entertainment system.

• Huge size, truck-like driving characteristics, poor fuel economy, high sticker price.

  user impressions - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By eridolphi - April 10 - 2:00 am

  The ride is not as good as expected. The seat sits a little higher than the F-250 truck making it more like driving a commercial vehicle. It is rough riding on rough interstate highway. The turning radius is wide. The vehicle does not drive as good as a Suburban but the engine, fuel mileage (18 mpg or better at 72 mph), size of tank, visibility is excellent. The engine runs great, although the first factory re-programing made it run rough and slower than it did before. This is a nice vehicle, a better value than the Suburban. A better seat and drivers position, with a smaller turn radius, would make it great.

  TOWS THE LOAD - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By AVE8ER - March 26 - 2:00 am

  This is a great truck! The only real gripe I have is it rides and sounds like a truck on the inside. I had a eddie bauer expedition with the air suspension before and it had a great ride. This truck has way to many creaks and rattles. The gmc denali doesnt have creaks and rattles!

  Not for everyone. But if you need the high range people mover that can tow a house. This is the choice.

  6.0 Powerstroke Excursion - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Higgins - February 16 - 2:00 am

  This Excursion with the new 6.0 Powerstroke is absolutely the most powerful vehicle I have ever owned. At the same time I am getting a combined mileage of about 17.5 Mpg. If you want to haul the family in a "big un" this is the vehicle. We love it.

  My Big Black X - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Chip - February 12 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle does it ALL. I sold my RAM2500 4wd V10 and got this. The ram was good, THIS THING IS GREAT. Towing, fuel economy, power...AWESOME!! My wife was terrified to drive it at first (used to her 5 series BMW) but now I have to fight with her to drive it. She loves it. The only problem is I cant fit it in the garage. Oh well. After I lift it, it wouldnt fit in there anyway. Buy one if youre in the market.

  I love my X - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By esther - February 8 - 2:00 am

  I used to drive a Chrysler mini van and moved up for more space. Diesel is the only way to go with this X. I get better gas mileage with my X than I did with my van. 23 on highways. 19- 20 city. I love all the room and cargo space.

  THE BEST EVER - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By AUSTIN - February 8 - 2:00 am

  I had home depot forklift a pallet of cement into my excursion. It holds 18 sheets of drywall, 75 2x4s or 750 12"X12" tiles. I can fit 5 people and five mountain bikes in sides with all gear. I tow a tractor and dump trailer with it. It safely takes me and seven guess while pulling a 21 foot 4500lb boat at 80 mph (13.5 mpg) to lake powell and the engine temp dosnt change. drove to vegas with 8 people, stoped for gas once!!! 16.8mpg
