The Ford Excursion is a full-size sport utility vehicle that was produced by the Ford Motor Company between model years 2000 and 2005. It was the largest SUV in the lineup while it was produced. Based on the Super Duty pickup truck platform, it offered large V8 (gasoline and diesel) and V10 (gasoline) engines, and seating for up to 9 passengers.

Along with the Hummer H2, it is a popular SUV for conversion into a limousine. It was designed to slot above the Ford Expedition as the flagship in the company's SUV lineup. The Excursion was designed to be classified as a heavy-duty vehicle, as for commercial or rural use, with a gross vehicle weight rating of over 8500 pounds, which exempted the vehicle from CAFE fuel economy regulations and quoting EPA fuel economy estimates [1]. Its position in the Ford SUV lineup was replaced in 2007 by an extended-length version of the Expedition. The last Excursion was produced on September 30, 2005, at Ford's Louisville plant. Production was canceled to focus on Super Duty trucks. Introduced in 1999 as a 2000 model year, the Excursion was immediately criticized for being too large to fit in most home garages and its poor fuel economy (around 15-16 mpg highway and 12-13 mpg combined highway and city) relative to the Chevrolet Suburban and GMC Yukon XL, its chief competitors [2]. Shortly before launch, the Sierra Club awarded the Excursion an "Exxon Valdez" award for this reason, in reference to the ill-fated oil tanker. Sales were initially good, but slowed as gasoline prices rose. In 2003, the 7.3 L Powerstroke diesel was replaced with a more powerful, 6.0 L Powerstroke diesel, giving 0 to 60mph times of under 10 seconds with reduced noise levels. Industry insiders expected Ford to stop producing the Excursion, but sales continued through the 2005 model year, for which it received a minor facelift, and production of the Excursion finally ended in September 2005.
