About the Ford Excursion
Introduced for the 2000 model year, the Ford Excursion was a heavy-duty SUV based on the F-250 Super Duty chassis, designed to compete directly with the Chevrolet Suburban 2500. It remains one of the largest and heaviest production SUVs ever built, offering seating for up to nine passengers and immense towing capacity. The 6.8-litre Triton V10 engine was a popular choice for those seeking diesel-like torque without the premium cost of the Power Stroke engine, though it became notorious for its single-digit fuel economy. Today, it has gained a cult following among collectors and outdoor enthusiasts who value its unmatched interior volume and rugged, body-on-frame construction.

Ford Excursion fun facts
- The Excursion was so large that it was classified as a heavy-duty vehicle, exempting Ford from reporting its official EPA fuel economy figures at the time.
- Every Excursion came equipped with a massive 44-US gallon (167-litre) fuel tank to compensate for its high fuel consumption.
- To prevent smaller cars from sliding underneath it in a collision, Ford equipped the Excursion with a 'BlockerBeam' steel bar hidden behind the front bumper.
