  Love it and would buy it again - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By wald5 - August 21 - 2:00 am

  I bought my excursion new and have loved it. I had 2 suburbans before and liked them also. But really wanted the diesel engine. We have the 7.3 in our F-350 crewcab and loved the power and mileage. The kids love the space and the reclining 2nd seat and the powerpoints and rear stereo control. I thought it had too much backend sway, so we added a leaf or two to the suspension in the back and one in the front & larger tires. Now it handles great. Ford should have stiffened the rear suspension to handle the load it is meant to carry. Went to Yellowstone a month after we had it and got 17-19 mpg with it, and that was a lot of mountain driving.

  2001 Excursion - Best ever - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By WellyC - July 26 - 2:00 am

  I absolutely love it. Hauls my horses around no problem and provides room for everyone with plenty of comfort. My X has the diesel engine with a 44 gallon tank and on a long road trip you can go forever without having to stop. Even around town it gets great mileage, only need to fill up once a month. The only thing is I wish they still made them. Would recommend an X to anyone.

  Best Truck I ever owned - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By Amazing Vehicle - July 18 - 2:00 am

  For long distance travel, cant be beat. Have gotten as high as 17.8 mpg with V-10 (nothing over 65mph!) and over 700 miles per tankfull. Dealer has been better than excellent. No major problems.

  Sick I Traded it - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By papa9x - June 25 - 2:00 am

  I absolutely loved the truck. Parking was a bit difficult, but the capacity, and convenience made this the absolute king. Anywhere, any time taking anything. Decided to trade (when I had the flu) to save fuel among other things. I have a large family, my boys and I hunt, fish, camp, and generally haul a fair amount of stuff. In an instance of insanity I traded for an Escape, and have regretted that decision every day since. If Ford does discontinue this vehicle due to pressure from the environmentalists, they will disenfranchise many.

  Problems that should not be happening - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By Tonyhca - March 16 - 2:00 am

  At 45k miles, Ive already had to replace tires (primarily due extreme feathering on front left tire...or front suspension/steering/alignment problems from the factory?) and brake pads. Pulls hard right after brake replacement. About 50% of the time electric door locks dont respond to the keyless entry pad, clicker or door control. Misc. interior plastic coverings falling off. Finally, 10.7 mpg is frustrating, especially with California gas prices.

  Best Vehicle I Have Ever Owned ! - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By Randy R. Falde - December 19 - 2:00 am

  Bought the 2WD model because all my driving is highway, oftentimes towing a 7x14 enclosed trailer, which it handles in an excellent manner. The Excursion is the safest, most comfortable vehicle I have ever driven. My mileage averages 14-17 mpg when not towing and about half of that when towing.

  This is one great vehicle - 2001 Ford Excursion
  By redmangh - November 3 - 2:00 am

  This vehicle has been a joy to date.Its used for commute as well as towing(8900lb)trailer.Previous vehicle was a 99 f/250 crew which was also great.Chose this due to passenger room and parkway driving.This vehicle has an unfair Blackeye image which I am sure affects sales.This works like a truck and is plenty comfortable.I get a respectable 13-14 mpg combo driving (9.5 avg w/trailer)not bad for a 7000lb v10.
