2004 Ford Excursion 4WD

Pros: Lots of space and towing capacity, go anywhere do anything
Cons: Storage could be better, locking diff would be a good option

I purchased a 2004 Excursion Eddie Bauer over a year ago and have been more than satisfied with this very capable vehicle. It has met or exceeded my expectations in most categories. The first thing to understand when considering this truck is that it ...

One annoying aspect is that the spare tire sits in the back cargo area and take up a lot of room and makes it hard at times when backing out. It is larger then the Chevy Suburban. If you get the heated seats, they warm up fast. The past reliability has been average. In my mind the only faster accelerating engine is the power stroke diesel V-8. The V-10 is better for towing nut get very bad MPG, and does not accelerate very fast at all. The four wheel drive is only part time, unlike its rivals.
