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.

  Great Family and Tow Unit. - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Gopher19432003 - October 24 - 2:00 am

  We use our Excursion for family vacations and towing a 35 travel trailer. This is a wonderful vehicle. It is well made, powerful, quiet and gets surprisingly good mileage. On diesel fuel, we average 18 MPG in town and 22 on the highway. When pulling the trailer, highway mileage drops to 19. I have never had a vehicle that can handle a trailer this large with such ease. I can drive all day and not fell beat.

  Excursion Rocks! - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Lakerat - October 13 - 2:00 am

  I average 19 mpg on the highway, 16 stop & go, and can carry everybody and their stuff! This is a terrific vehicle, and the diesel is quieter than I expected.

  DIESEL POWER THE ONLY WAY - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By 6509481 - September 29 - 2:00 am

  LOTS OF POWER WITH THE 7.3L, UNDER FULL LOAD AND TOWING 7500LBS, THE BABY GETS UP TO HIGHWAY SPEEDS FAST. WITH NO ONE ELSE BUT THE DRIVER ON BOARD YOU AND BLOW THE DOORS OFF ALMOST ALL SPORTS CARS AND TRUCKS OFF THE LINE AND HANDELS GREAT IN THE TURNS. LOYS OF ROOM FOR LUGGAGE BE HID THE 3RD SEAT. A MUST FOR ANY FAMILY WITH MORE THAN 2 KIDS.

  Love this SUV - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Dick Wiehe - September 18 - 2:00 am

  Weve driven a Ford Super Duty Crew Cab with a V-10 for 4 years now. Love it and like the EXPEDITION even better. Were retired and are convinced that theres no better platform to travel with and see the sights than these machines. The couple hundred more you pay a year for gas is more than off-set by the great seat you have to the world. Good luck to the folks that are sitting low and hunched down ... well take our viewing platform any day!

  Like the size, but it isnt for everyone - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Installer - September 12 - 2:00 am

  Love the loadspace, gas pedal and overall size/comfort inside. With 1500 miles we lost our coolant -the factory didnt quite get the hose clamp right - a damaged hose and several days later back owning the road. Cant get past a gas station without a stop -around $65 these days if you let it get to a 1/4. Great hauler. Not for anyone on a budget -pretty sure, as an owner group, we are keeping OPEC running...

  Beautiful Functionality - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By RDK - September 8 - 2:00 am

  Awesome truck, former 6.5L Chevy diesel Suburban owner. Gas mileage takes a bit of getting used to but passing cars going up mountains pulling a 30 travel trailer is a thrill. The V10 WILL do the job if you can afford to put gas in it.

  One Awsome SUV.... - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By 1bigford - September 3 - 2:00 am

  I’ve owned many vehicles in my years. Among them, 4 SUVs. The Excursions by far is the best of the SUVs. At first I hesitated because of its size. After a few short miles I found it to be very easy to drive as did my wife, who now is the primary driver, I only get it on weekends. It has plenty of room and power to spare. I find it hard to believe FORD is discontinuing this vehicle. I found nothing but praise for it in everything I read.
