Pros: Roomy interior; reliable; acceleration; durable
Cons: Fuel economy; wide body; frequent brake maintenance
The Bottom Line: I would highly recommend this vehicle for those that frequently have long road trips and require additional seating and/or storage requirements. Significantly more vehicle than any minivan offers.
We had no business buying a vehicle this expensive when we did (2001). I'm so glad we did though. The vehicle is roomy enough inside to handle my family (7 of us), 2 dogs and our luggage. When the military moved us across country, I was able to include ...

Say "Welcome to the Behemoth, the mother or father of all SUVsIt is somewhat of a mobile home of a SUV. There is no doubt that Ford has come out with the grandest of SUVs. With the Ford Excursion, the company is attempting a target niche...

This is just the first time Ford has decided to put a permanent camper shell on it. I love this vehicle, and I've never set foot in one, but I have done my research, so bear with me through this Epinion.
This truck definitely offers its share...

I've been following the news about the Excursion since it was announced as a concept vehicle and I scoured the web for pictures of early prototypes, and news of its arrival. I am glad to say I was not disappointed when I got my first glimpse of one in...

Pros: Fun to drive
Cons: "Could be better" kinds of stuff like the seats
I remember every little thing
As if it happened only yesterday
Parking by the school
And not another SUV in sight
And I never had a car
Looking any better than this did
And all the moms at school
They are wishing they...

Pros: Size comfort and reliability and everything else!!

I have been waiting twenty years for Ford to make this vehicle. And all I can say now is, "It's About Time". When we received the news that our family was growing again we realized we needed a bigger vehicle but the only solution seemed to...

Pros: Very versatile, lots of room, Most of it is recyclable when its life is over.
Cons: It is big and takes some getting used to when parking.
I spent a lot of time researching and test-driving many other vehicles before I made my decision to purchase my Ford Excursion. When I first started shopping I must admit that I was not even considering the Excursion. I drove practically all the SUV's on...

Pros: Safety, Capacity, Fuel-Economy

Before I purchased a 2000 Limited Excursion I looked at Mercedes, BMW, and of Course, Chevrolet/GMC. My goal was to buy the best of breed – the category leader and I used the criteria of safety and utility. Economy, resource allocation, and other factors...

Pros: Sure, gas masks look stylish!
Cons: Ain't no thang compared to the KENWORTH FAMILY TRUXXSTER

Pros: much hauling capacity, certainly the biggest SUV to date
Cons: TOO BIG! disgusting fuel efficiency, dangerous to small things bad in the wrong hands
The Bottom Line: Please, if you care about life anywhere, don't buy this car.
Hey everybody, I don't own this car. I haven't ever driven this car. But I do have opinions about it, and I might as well share them.
My car is a Saturn SL1 (go read my review!), a car that is constantly subjected to being blinded at night by...

My husband recently purchased, I should say threw away money on one of these things. I have driven it a few times and let me tell you, I hate it. Give me my good driving A4 any day. This thing rides like a wagon on steel wheels. It is so hard to keep it...

Just last year, GM had an untouched SUV class, that of the Suburban. A class that sold about 150,000 vehicles, one that Ford just couldn't let go unchallenged. The answer? The new Ford Excursion. This hulking SUV is now the biggest in its class....
