Q: Ford Excursion?
How did you like the Ford Excursion diesel?
Just tell me what you liked and dislike
Was the third row uncomfortable?

A: For the most part, a lot of us have the gas models, and v-10's at that, but if I had my choice I go diesel. There are more power options I guess for the 7.3, but I'd have the 6.0 instead. Forums say the 6.o could get up to 26mpg, where the 7.3 is more on the lines of the 6.8. I like the idea of being able to go almost 1000 miles on a tank if that is true.

As far as the vehicle, we looked at the Expedition first, but I didn't like the 3rd seat. Not only was the seat on the back glass, it was on the floor, fine to tots if you want to crawl back there, but not for teens and adults. For us adults, our knees were in our chest, and I didn't like the idea of kids on the back glass. With that in mind we checked out the X's.

Like the Expeditions, I climbed in the 2nd seat and 3rd, there was as much room in those two areas as the front, and you have storage room too! With the kids and adults you can fit 8 with out discomfort, a car seat does take up more room than most of us would. We pack up the kids and dog, lay down the single seat for the kennel, and everyone is good to go. Other than getting car sick myself, I can be comfortable in the back at 6'2"... I can even be comfortable laying across the seat to sleep.

There are many options to, std is the 5 power points, all being 20 amps each thru the vehicle from the dash to the cargo area. One thing I like is the separate fuse panel and power for trailers, no more plugging in the trailer lamps and making the truck dim out or flash quickly. There is even a plug for you to tie your choice of electric brakes to, the wiring is all there for you, talk about ease.

Tires can be something no one really thinks of till after the point, sure the fewer plys the softer the ride, but you loose lateral stability, especially pulling a trailer. 8 ply tires are ok, but 10 ply is better for trailers, unlike you like a bit of sway on the tail.

Cleaning the window for taller people isn't to bad if you jump up on the tire or open up the door, shorter ones need a go-go gadget aid.

The X also has one thing that most don't, Ford put expansion foam packets into the body, exposed them to heat, and filled the chambers. With this insulation, not only does it retain the heat better in the winter, it stays cooler in the winter, along with dampening external noises... even ghetto thumpers.

The only true dislike for the X would be my gas mileage, being the 6.8 and not the diesel, I can see 17 on the highway, 10 in town, and 14 maybe on average. Other than that..... I'm spoiled with it!

Q: ford excursion?
how many miles to the galon does a 7.3l ford excursion get

A: About 13-15 unloaded from what I've heard. If you have to ask,the Excursion may not be the vehicle for you.

Q: How much does a decent paint job for a Ford Excursion cost?
I'm looking at getting a diesel Ford Excursion soon. I'm looking at getting a paint job, but don't know what is reasonable. My thinking is a two tone candy blue and candy black color scheme. If candy colors are more expensive (not so sure what the difference is in price), then what would normal colors generally end up costing for this size of vehicle.

A: Well, just so happens im a painter and work for a ford dealership and you can go to a Macao are a fly by night in and out paint shop and your looking at anywhere from 250 to 600 dollars but if you want a Professional paint job it will run you around 4600 to 5200 hundred dollars

Q: How long will a Ford Excursion last?
I really like them but I don't want to spend a ton of money. Is it worth buying one with high miles or will it need lots of repairs. Overall, how reliable is the Ford Excursion and how long will it last. What year should I look into buying.

A: I suggest having the vehicle looked at by someone who can spot problems with the rig. It is fairly simple to tell how well a vehicle has been maintained by looking at it. If the owner has maintenance records, that's a plus. If the Excursion is diesel, the 7.3L Power Stroke can exceed a life of 300,000 miles if properly taken car of. The 5.4L V8 & 6.8L V10 are known to last well over the 150,000 mile range as well. The Excursion is a reliable vehicle, how long it lasts boils down to how well it has been taken care of.

Q: Are the Ford Pick-Up telescoping mirrors the same as the one on the Ford Excursion?
Are the Ford Pick-Up telescoping mirrors the same as the one on the Ford Excursion?

A: Yes they are.

Q: How do I remove the radio on my 01' Ford Excursion?
I drive an 01' Ford Excursion and I need to know how to remove the radio / cd player. Anyone know?

A: If it has little holes in the corners, you can buy a tool that releases the clips in side and it just pulls right out. You can make the tool your self by using a metal coat hanger. Cut 2 sections out of the coat hanger, Bend it in to a U shape. Stick it in the holes about 3mm deep. Spread them away from the radio and pull. Use a coat hanger that's kinda hard to bend, not the really flimsy kind. Any thick, wire like metal will work

Q: Can a geo metro fit inside a Ford Excursion?
Me and my friends are trying to give a birthday present to one of our best friend. He's turning 20 this few weeks and he always wanted an economy car (small car that use less gas). He's been driving his parent's Ford Excursion for a while and it sucks a lot of gas.

He's been dreaming of getting a nice Toyota Yaris hatchback or vw rabbit. But we can't really afford to get that so we got him a nice spunky, yellow Geo Metro hatchback.

Our goal is to fit the geo metro in the back of his ford excursion. Will that fit????

A: No it will not fit, you pumkinsquirt! What are you thinking??

Q: What is the miles-per-gallon on a 04-05 Ford Excursion?
What is the miles-per-gallon on a 04-05 Ford Excursion? Or, if you know, any other models? Thanks!

A: There are no gas mileage estimates for these truck due to the fact that they are over 8500lb G.V.W.R. as per guidelines set by the E.P.A.

Q: Is a Ford Excursion a good first car for a teenager?
Ok ok i know a lot of people will say no. Put aside the fact of the gas mileage and the inexperience. Now besides those 2 bad reasons, is a ford excusion a bad first car? By the way my dad is considering giving me his so thats why I am asking about the excursion. Thank You
Id like to know your opinion on the subject, not just weather you agree or disagree, please back it up with reasoning, Thank You

A: Yes. My daughter learned to drive in my 2002 Big X at 16 and she used it for school and work till her was 18. She payed for her own fuel. She has since bought herself a 93 F-250 4X4. She has never gotten a speeding ticket or gotten into an accident. That may be due to her state of mind while driving. I don't think I would have done this if I had not felt that she would not be a courteous or responsible driver.

Q: Is 147,000 miles a lot for a texas owned 2000 Ford Excursion?
Im looking at a 2000 Ford Excursion with the 7.3 diesel in the limited package. Also what is the lifespan on engine components like the turbo.

A: At 147K miles the 7.3 PSD is just getting broken in. You can expect two to three times that many miles on that engine with proper maintenance. Turbo is the same deal, keep your oil changes frequent (3000-5000 miles) and use quality filters and you will have no problems. The 4R100 tranny behind the PSD is decent and with a few cheap after market upgrades (added tranny cooler and a shift kit) can be made extremely reliable. Also to note is that the PSD equipped version of the excursion was able to get 18-22 mpg all day long while the V-10 version was a pig in that regards.

If you can score a good price on it I would suggest you buy it and enjoy it.

Q: How does the GMC Yukon XL's gas mileage compare to the Ford Excursion? ?
I want to know which suv has the best gas mileage out of the ford excursion and the gmc yukon xl. Both vehicles are quite large and I know they love gas.

A: Probably the Yukon gets the better mileage, it has an engine which shuts off half the cylinders when you don't need the power.

Q: i would like get advice on installing a detroit diesel 600 series in a ford excursion?
I bought a 2005 ford excursion with a power choke. I want to pull it and drop a detroit diesel 600 series in it. any advice

A: do you mean the 60 series... if so it wont fit...

well unless you dont mind putting it in the back... and making a whole new rear engine/transmission cradle...

Q: How can I disable the automatic locks on the doors for a 2003 Ford Excursion?
I know that there is a procedure for GM vehicles that owners can follow to disable the auto-locking system. Where can I find this procedure for Ford vehicles?

A: There are actually a couple of ways. You can remove the driver's door panel then unplug the lock actuator and switch. You might have to do this to all the doors. If that doesn't do it or sounds to hard, you can pull the fuse that controls it. Doing so may however cause other systems to be affected.

You might be able to find a repair manual with an electrical diagram and component locations. If you can, look up the central locking system control and disconnect it, as long as it doesn't control anything else important.

Q: Why do the interior lights on my 2004 ford excursion stay on wearing down the battery?
I just this bought excursion and had it detailed. I figured the detailers wore the battery down. I can't however turn the interior lights off. Would this be a bad switch or what?

A: The door switches on fords are famous for this. The switches stick and the car basically thinks the door is open even when its closed. The switch is intergrated into the latch mechanism inside the door. The pin gets a little dirty and sticks in. They are cheap to replace but taking them out and spraying with a little brake cleaner or starting fluid fixes them up like new 99.9% of the time!

Q: Can I change out the middle console for a seat in a Ford Excursion?
I have a 2000 Excursion and want to replace the middle console between the front two captains' chairs with a seat. Any advice. Thanks!

A: what are you going to replace it with... or are you just taking the whole thing out. if your replacing it make sure you get someone who does quality work. not just your everyday install place. there is alot of fabrication involved. you should watch pimp my ride on mtv.. it sounds stupid but youll at least get a taste of what is all involved. and just about all the shows they do some kind of dash work.
