'''Use the following MODEL TEMPLATE as the foundation for the Wikicars' Model page:'''
Determined to be the biggest, baddest son-of-a-buck on the block, '''[[Ford]]''' debuted the jumbo '''Excursion''' in 2000 as the world's largest, heaviest SUV to date. Unlike the smaller [[Ford Expedition|Expedition]] that was based on the [[Ford F150|F150]] half-ton pickup, the Excursion was based on the heavier-duty 3/4 ton [[Ford F-250]] pickup line, with either rear or four wheel drive.  During the Excursion's tenure, it was (and to date, still is) the only SUV to be available with a V10 or a turbo-diesel engine shared with its heavy-duty truck line, and its primary role was to dethrone the almighty [[Chevrolet Suburban]] and the rest of its corporate mates as the biggeest SUV available, and in this endeavor it succeeded handily (and then some), being 7.4" longer than the Suburban, on a wheelbase 7" longer, and 6" taller.  The Excursion also was some 1,900 pounds heavier, tipping the scales at more than 7,000 pounds.
 
Start off with a brief Introduction to the particular MODEL. Please DO NOT use the same Introduction text from the [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] page, but rather paraphrase ideas relevant to grasp an overall scope of the [[automobile|vehicle]].
 
'''Please include the following line at the bottom of this section. Please replace [[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]] with the proper text:'''
 
See Wikicars' comprehensive '''[[Wikicars:Model Review Template|<MODEL> Review]]'''.
 
===Recent Changes===
Mention any minor facelifts or major changes made to the [[automobile|vehicle]] here.


===Styles and Major Options===
While the Excursion was a boon to those who needed to seat 9 people with room to spare and tow a 10,000 trailer, it was also not without controversy.  Critics from the environmental and safety camps were quick to take aim at the Excursion as an example of wretched automotive excess and waste. Ford responded by noting that all three available engines ranked as LEV (low emission vehicle), and that the Excursion made extensive use of recycled materials.  Be that as it may, the Excursion still acheived the reputation (deserved or not), along with the [[Hummer]] H1 and H2 models, as one of the world's most politically incorrect vehicles.
Certain [[automobile|vehicles]] come in different trim levels or body styles. Features and major options should be mentioned here.

===Gas Mileage===
The 2000 Expedition shared the chassis and running gear with the F250 pickup line, along with its standard 255 hp 5.4L (330 cid) V8.  Being a bit undersized to propel a beast this size, most were equipped with the optional 310 hp 6.8L (412 cid) V10 or the 235 hp 7.3L (444 cid) turbo-diesel V8.  The V10 was standard on 4WD models.  All engines had the 4-speed automatic transmission, and the four-wheel-drive system shifted between 2WD and 4-High or 4-Low via a dashboard switch, but was not intended for use on dry pavement.  There were base '''XLT''' and '''Limited''' models, XLTs seated 9 while the Limiteds seated 8 with its front bucket "captain chair" seats.  Both versions had a fold-down second-row bench and a removable third-row bench.  The body had four side doors as well as center-opening rear half-doors below a one-piece, top-hinged tailgate.   window. 
''Add more fields as necessary.''


As seen on the [http://www.fueleconomy.gov/feg/findacar.htm FuelEconomy.gov] website, the City/Highway MPG averages are as follows:
2001 model changes were very slight, other than the turbo-diesel V8 gaining 15 hp to 250.  Fog lamps became standard on the Limiteds, and the side-view mirrors also gained built-in turn signals.  In 2002, the models expanded to include the base '''XLT, XLT Premium, Limited''' and top-of-the-line '''Limited Ultimate''', and all models acquired more standard equipment.  For 2003, a new '''Eddie Bauer''' packaged debuted, slotted between the base XLT line and top-line Limited models. Eddie Bauer models all had front and rear body-color trim set off by beige accents, while the base and XLTs still had the chrome trim. Also, in midyear, Ford dropped the 7.3L turbo diesel V8 in favor of a smaller 325 HP 6.0L (363 cid) turbo-diesel V8 engine.  The gas 5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10s were still available.  The 6.0L turbo-diesel got a 5-speed automatic, while the others still used the 4-speed auto. 


<table border=1 tablecolor=#000000 bordercolor=#000008>
2004 Excursions saw no real changes other than very slight cosmetic ones, including a couple of new colors.  2005 Excursions got a new grille with 3 horizontal bars, but that was about it for Ford's jumbo SUV, which was in its last year.  There would be no direct successor to the Excursion, but when Ford redesigned its smaller half-ton based [[Ford Expedition|Expedition]] for 2007, it was now available in an extended-length '''EL''' version, which one could say it at least a spiritual successor, if not a more politically correct one.

Determined to be the biggest, baddest son-of-a-buck on the block, Ford debuted the jumbo Excursion in 2000 as the world's largest, heaviest SUV to date. Unlike the smaller Expedition that was based on the F150 half-ton pickup, the Excursion was based on the heavier-duty 3/4 ton Ford F-250 pickup line, with either rear or four wheel drive. During the Excursion's tenure, it was (and to date, still is) the only SUV to be available with a V10 or a turbo-diesel engine shared with its heavy-duty truck line, and its primary role was to dethrone the almighty Chevrolet Suburban and the rest of its corporate mates as the biggeest SUV available, and in this endeavor it succeeded handily (and then some), being 7.4" longer than the Suburban, on a wheelbase 7" longer, and 6" taller. The Excursion also was some 1,900 pounds heavier, tipping the scales at more than 7,000 pounds.

While the Excursion was a boon to those who needed to seat 9 people with room to spare and tow a 10,000 trailer, it was also not without controversy. Critics from the environmental and safety camps were quick to take aim at the Excursion as an example of wretched automotive excess and waste. Ford responded by noting that all three available engines ranked as LEV (low emission vehicle), and that the Excursion made extensive use of recycled materials. Be that as it may, the Excursion still acheived the reputation (deserved or not), along with the Hummer H1 and H2 models, as one of the world's most politically incorrect vehicles.

Here's a quick rundown:

2000-2005

The 2000 Expedition shared the chassis and running gear with the F250 pickup line, along with its standard 255 hp 5.4L (330 cid) V8. Being a bit undersized to propel a beast this size, most were equipped with the optional 310 hp 6.8L (412 cid) V10 or the 235 hp 7.3L (444 cid) turbo-diesel V8. The V10 was standard on 4WD models. All engines had the 4-speed automatic transmission, and the four-wheel-drive system shifted between 2WD and 4-High or 4-Low via a dashboard switch, but was not intended for use on dry pavement. There were base XLT and Limited models, XLTs seated 9 while the Limiteds seated 8 with its front bucket "captain chair" seats. Both versions had a fold-down second-row bench and a removable third-row bench. The body had four side doors as well as center-opening rear half-doors below a one-piece, top-hinged tailgate. window.

2001 model changes were very slight, other than the turbo-diesel V8 gaining 15 hp to 250. Fog lamps became standard on the Limiteds, and the side-view mirrors also gained built-in turn signals. In 2002, the models expanded to include the base XLT, XLT Premium, Limited and top-of-the-line Limited Ultimate, and all models acquired more standard equipment. For 2003, a new Eddie Bauer packaged debuted, slotted between the base XLT line and top-line Limited models. Eddie Bauer models all had front and rear body-color trim set off by beige accents, while the base and XLTs still had the chrome trim. Also, in midyear, Ford dropped the 7.3L turbo diesel V8 in favor of a smaller 325 HP 6.0L (363 cid) turbo-diesel V8 engine. The gas 5.4L V8 and 6.8L V10s were still available. The 6.0L turbo-diesel got a 5-speed automatic, while the others still used the 4-speed auto.

2004 Excursions saw no real changes other than very slight cosmetic ones, including a couple of new colors. 2005 Excursions got a new grille with 3 horizontal bars, but that was about it for Ford's jumbo SUV, which was in its last year. There would be no direct successor to the Excursion, but when Ford redesigned its smaller half-ton based Expedition for 2007, it was now available in an extended-length EL version, which one could say it at least a spiritual successor, if not a more politically correct one.
