2004 Ford Excursion “beast”
About the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion
from the generation archive
The 2000 model year introduced the Ford Excursion, a full-size SUV built on the Super Duty pickup chassis and sharing its frame, suspension, and engines with the three-quarter-ton F-250 and one-ton F-350 trucks. Ford built the Excursion at Kentucky Truck Assembly in Louisville for the 2000 through 2005 model years as a single generation. The 2000-2005 Ford Excursion measured 226.7 inches long on a 137.1-inch wheelbase, the largest and longest-wheelbase SUV Ford ever produced, with a gasoline curb weight near 7,200 pounds and a diesel curb weight near 7,700 pounds. The Excursion offered the 5.4L Triton V8 (255 horsepower) as the standard gasoline engine and the 6.8L Triton V10 (310 horsepower) as the gasoline upgrade. The diesel option was the 7.3L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 (235 horsepower at launch, up to 250 horsepower) from 2000 through 2003, replaced partway through the 2003 model year by the 6.0L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8 (325 horsepower), which the Excursion used through 2005. Ford fitted a steel under-bumper crash bar called the BlockerBeam to lower the front structure toward passenger-car bumper height. Ford ended Excursion production after 2005 as fuel prices rose and demand for the largest SUVs fell.
The story
My EX is a 2 seater.
So was the 2004 EB diesel that Ibought new and sold in 2013 and bought a new RAM. Biggest mistake I ever made. So I got this one for snow driving and camping. I have other vehicles for more civilized pursuits.
I just purchased it and have removed the back and third seats.
Three days of cleaning and detailing the inside, carpets and headliner
After the seats come out you can really see how bad carpets get.
And I built a padded carpeted platform from the gate to 2' from the back seats. No more rectangular holes, and 6 cubic feet of closed lockable storage.
I have a rolled up futon mattress and room for all of my guns, fly rods, bags coolers and camping gear. And room for the Jack Russell that lives with me.
Over the next year the plan is to lift it, some other suspnsion work, make it as bullet proof as possible for going places where you last saw pavement yesterday. — greg54
