Ford Excursion

The Ford Excursion is a heavy-duty (Class 2) full-size SUV marketed by Ford Motor Company from the 2000 through 2005 model years. The third Ford SUV derived from the Ford F-Series (following the Ford Bronco and the Ford Expedition), the Excursion was derived from the 3⁄4-ton F-250 Super Duty pickup truck. As with the Expedition, the model line was developed as a competitor for the Chevrolet Suburban, with the Excursion targeting the 2500-series (3⁄4-ton) Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Yukon XL. Sharing its chassis with the regular cab, long-bed Ford F-250 Super Duty, the Excursion accommodated heavier-duty powertrains than its Expedition counterpart. For nearly two decades, it was notable as the longest SUV ever mass-produced (matched by the 2023 Jeep Grand Wagoneer L and beaten by the 2021 Cadillac Escalade ESV); it remains the longest-wheelbase SUV ever produced. As of current production, only the GMC Hummer EV SUV is heavier. Ford assembled the Excursion alongside the Ford Super Duty line at its Kentucky Truck Plant facility (Louisville, Kentucky). Following its discontinuation in the United States and Canada, a shortened model year was offered exclusively for Mexico, with the final example rolling off the assembly line on Kentucky Truck Plant (Louisville, Kentucky). For 2007, Ford repackaged its extended-length SUV as the Ford Expedition EL/MAX (today, Expedition MAX), moving from the Super Duty chassis to the F-150 architecture.
