Ford Excursion Single Generation (2000-2005)

2000–2005 · Super Duty (F-250 chassis) · suv

Ford's full-size body-on-frame SUV, built on the F-250 Super Duty 3/4-ton chassis at Kentucky Truck Plant. Three rows, 8-9 passenger capacity, and the heaviest factory SUV ever sold in the US. Engine lineup: 5.4L Triton V8 (gas, base), 6.8L V10 Triton (gas, optional), 7.3L Power Stroke turbodiesel (2000-2003), and 6.0L Power Stroke turbodiesel (2003-2005). 4-speed automatic (5R110 TorqShift on the 6.0L diesel). Discontinued after 2005 as fuel-economy backlash and the 2000s oil-price spike killed the segment.

Watch out: Engine-specific. 7.3L Power Stroke is the bulletproof one (the diesel enthusiasts hunt for). 6.0L Power Stroke is the headache - well-documented EGR cooler failures, head-gasket failures (the cylinder head stretches the TTY bolts), oil cooler clogging, and FICM (Fuel Injection Control Module) issues. The 6.0L 'bulletproofing' aftermarket exists precisely because of these problems. 6.8L V10 has the same spark-plug-ejection vulnerability as the 5.4L 2V Triton (TSB 07-21-2). Otherwise: rust on rocker panels and rear quarters in salt-belt examples.
