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.

  Deisel Powered SUV - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By E H - January 22 - 2:00 am

  Fun to drive, a safe well designed SUV. Mine is a 2000 model and is deisel.Theres nothing it cant handel on or off road.Oh by the way for all you folks who think its hard to park in town your wrong Im a women and can park it better then most guys in pick up trucks. Turning ratio is far better than my last SUV a Suburban 2500. Yes I would buy another one. Also, deisel is cheaper than gas and gets better milage than the gas model. Runs smooth & quite.

  Great Family Car - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Jeffrey J. - January 20 - 2:00 am

  My family and I love our Excursion. We owned a half ton Chevy Suburban prior to the Excursion so naturally the ride of the Suburban was better but that seems to be its only advantage. The features of the Excursion are great. It appears from the outside that it would be hard to drive but once youre in it you feel like youre driving a luxury car. Only very high off the ground. It pulls my 18 ski boat like a dream.

  great truck - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By mikeraymond - January 17 - 2:00 am

  Best big suv on the road - 6.0 Diesel is GREAT - quiet & powerfull. New 5 speed transmission is also great. If more diesels were on the road, we wouldnt have a fuel crisis (30% better than gas). Ford should reconsider their decision to cancel this vehicle, since they added the new 6.0 engine & 5 speed trans. They have a real winner here.

  WHAT A TRUCK! - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Tim Ebert - January 13 - 2:00 am

  We just bought our 2003 Excursion, traded in a whimpy burb for it. Outstanding is the word to describe this vehicle. The diesel is awesome. This thing starts in -10 degree weather with no problem. We also love the dvd player.

  Great luxury livery vehicle. - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Dennis Duggan - January 4 - 2:00 am

  Fuel economy is great if you drive it right. We took it on a 2,300 mile road trip the first week. Though it takes $64.00 to fill the tank with premium gas we averaged over 16 miles to the Gallon. Owning a livery company with Lincoln town cars averaging 18-19 miles to the gallon for the size of the excursion. I think its great!!!

  The Biggest and Baddest - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Excursion Lover - January 3 - 2:00 am

  For all those that think the X is a waste of metal, What else can you haul 8 people in comfort and pull a 33ft 9000lbs trailer and have fun doing it, a Honda? I dont think so. So to all you X haters, I say bring it on!!!!!

  My dream SUV - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Mikki - January 2 - 2:00 am

  I love my excursion, after test driving everything I found the excursion the only one to fit all my needs. It will pull a horse trailer, carry my dogs to dog shows, carry all my kids to school and there is plenty of room to prevent fights. I am soooo pleased. I love the looks it gets and the feeling of safety it gives my when I am hauling the kids around.

  Big Bad Truck not a SUV - 2003 Ford Excursion
  By Edendp - December 24 - 2:00 am

  Had a Lincoln Navigator before but needed more tow power. The diesel is great and I am very happy with it (the wife hates it when I start it up in the garage....)I love the rumble and the power and the milege for such a large vehicle. The ride is very trucky but this is a truck and not a suv. It pulls my triple axle boat trailer and boat (40 long and 9000lbs) with ease. Launching is a pleasure. 4 wheeling is great when hunting but tricky on tight turns in the bush
