Description

From the time it first rolled out, Ford's mega-sized Excursion was a dominating presence. Bigger and taller than its competitors and built on a truck-style chassis that equipped it with an elite towing and payload capacity, it was a unique vehicle that combined its expansive dimensions with surprisingly easy drivability and four-wheel drive surefootedness. Flash forward a quarter century to the present, and this 2000 Ford Excursion XLT 4x4 is an outstanding representative of that one-of-a-kind model. Its Arizona Beige Metallic paint has a nice, deep shine, and even under close scrutiny, you'd be hard-pressed to find any dents or blemishes to detract from its impact. Consistently fresh brightwork from front to back enhances this unusually clean Ford's vibrant curb appeal.

The cloth Parchment interior is in flat-out great shape, and as you peer inside, its sheer volume becomes evident. This jumbo-sized SUV can effortlessly accommodate eight passengers in comfort with its three broad rows of seating. The condition of the seats themselves is especially impressive. Ford's cloth upholstery has a reputation for durability but not only do the front buckets and two rows of bench seating still show only the slightest of wear, but there are also no glaring stains or discolorations to be found. Walk around to the rear and open the full-size doors that combine with a drop-down tailgate, and you can also see just how much storage space will be at your disposal, especially with the third-row bench seat folded down. Up front, the dash area is another high point, with its contrasting dark panel encircling clear factory gauges and control knobs that look pretty much as they did from the start.

Needless to say, a sizable SUV built for action requires a potent engine, and this Excursion has one. Its electronically fuel-injected 6.8-liter V10 represented Ford's most powerful gas option for the model at the time of its release, offering well over 400 lb.-ft. of torque and equipping it with a towing capacity of up to 10,000 lbs. Like everything else on this Ford, it's in top-notch working order and pairs with a 4-speed automatic transmission to make for a versatile yet refined driving experience. And when a sense of adventure grabs you, its four-wheel drive agility is unleashed via an easily reachable electronic push-button on the dash.
