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.

  We love Excursions! - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Dr. Ken - January 31 - 2:00 am

  This is our second Excursion.We love them!We have 7 kids and this is our favorite for hauling around the crew.3rd seat is most accessable of anything in its class.The load space is tops,the ride is good and the seats are great.It is heavy and doesnt get blown around,but it is tireing to steer for long distances.

  By kkc04 - January 12 - 2:00 am

  Slightly underpowered but vehicle is not used to tow anything other than the family around. Very solid road feel and drives nicely on the highway.

  I LIVE IN TEXAS WHERE IT IS TURE WE TRAVEL 22 MILES JUST FOR BREAKFAST. THIS VEHICLE IS AN EXCEPTIONAL VALUE FOR CAMPING AND TRAVELING, TOWING. THIS NEW 6.0 DIESEL IS QUITE AND HAS PLENTY OF GO POWER. THE BEST NEW FEATURE IS THE 5 SPEED TRANSMISSION. VERY COMFORTABLE OVER LONG DISTANT EXCURSIONS.

  2003 Excursion 6.0L - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By dancon - November 26 - 2:00 am

  I purchased this vehicle because the other ones, Hummer,Suburban,Explorer,etc. have all downsized the interior room. My head hit the ceiling on almost all the other ones.

  Luxury at its best - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By MrC - November 7 - 2:00 am

  Since I bought my 2002 Ford Excursion, I love to travel in it, because of its safety rating, and comfort. It handles good, and has power to spare. The gas mileage isnt to bad for the size and weight of the vehicle. It is big enough to carry my whole family in comfort, along with anything we may want to take along. It has the power to pull most trailers without any problem. Suspension a little stiff on rough roads, but still rides good.

  By Arthur Martin - November 1 - 2:00 am

  The Excursion is the best kept secret. the 6.0 Turbo Diesel gets excellent fuel mileage, I dont know where the critics get there 411 on fuel economy? I wouyld take an Excursion over a Suburban any day.

  6.0 Diesel Works For Me - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By jberg - October 30 - 2:00 am

  I bought my Excursion in June and have put on 8200 miles since. Most use is at 75 to 80 mph on highway trips without a trailer. On those trips, I get over 20 mpg. I have a 28 transporter which I use to haul ATVs and camp in. With the loaded trailer behind it, the mpg drops down to 11. I can pull the trailer both up and down hill as fast as I care to.
