Nwe Car Test Drive (2002)
It is supremely stable; it feels safe and secure on the open highway. Whether you have a lot of cargo to carry, a bunch of people to transport, a big trailer to pull or all of the above, the Excursion is ready for whatever you throw its way.

New Car Test Drive (2001)
As big as a bus, but best used as a tow truck.

Auto Revista (2000)
Excursion delivers with a design and package that offer more passenger and cargo room and greater power and towing capacity than the competition. At the same time, Excursion sets new safety and environmental standards with features that are the first of their kind in the segment and even the truck market.

Auto Revista (2000)
All Excursions come ready to tow, with no aftermarket hitch or electrical work needed. Each vehicle includes a Class IV receiver out back, along with a pre-wired seven-pin wiring plug. A seven-to-four pin adapter is included for those wishing to tow a smaller trailer without brakes.

Automobile Reviews (2000)
The Excursion is rated for up to 9 people but you would have to option for the bench seat up front. The front bucket seats are big and comfortable with more of the same in the rear. The accessibility of the third bench seat is easy to get in and out of because both ends of the middle row slide forward making entrance and exit a ease.

Cars Everything (2000)
The new Excursion is based on the Super Duty F series trucks, and is taller, wider, and nearly nine inches longer than the Chevy Suburban.

Curbside (2000)
From the back of the rear doors forward, the Excursion is similar in appearance and function to Ford's F350 four-door pickup truck. But behind the rear doors, Ford has enclosed the bed and made room for either a lot of gear, or a third seat and just plenty of gear.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2000)
The Excursion is more than seven inches longer than the former kings of the road, Chevrolet's Suburban and GMC's Yukon XL.

Milwaukee Journal Sentinel (2000)
Based on Ford's Super Duty pickup truck, the Excursion is almost 19 feet long and 6.5 feet tall, and weighs more than 3.5 tons. Not only is it bigger than the Suburban, it won't fit in a lot of garages.
