Excursion is Ford's largest sport utility vehicle and the only vehicle in the §egmènt to offer a diesel engine - Ford's 6.0-liter Power Stroke diesel, wîth the most power and torque in the §egmènt.
Excursion's three rows seat up to nine adults, while both interior volume and interior space are best-in-class. Excursion continues to offer customers outstanding room for both people and cargo, enhanced towing capacity.
Available in XLS, XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited trims, Excursion offers a variety of convenient features.
The Excursion is produced wîth the F-Series Super Duty pickup in Louisville, Ky.
Design and Equipment
Numerous design elements emphasize convenience. While most SÚVs offer either a tailgate or lift-glass rear cargo door, Excursion combines both designs into its exclusive Tri-Panel door system. The door has a separate lift-glass for convenient small-parcel loading and lightweight twin swing-out composite doors wîth no visibility-blocking center pillar.
On the exterior, Excursion features body-color moldings on the XLS model. Chrome running boards are optional equipment on four-wheel-drive XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited models.
Heated telescoping trailer tow mirrors wîth integrated turn signals and clearance lights are optional on all models.
On the inside, adjustable pedals are available on all models. An overhead console includes auxiliary air conditioning controls, courtesy lights and bins for a garage door opener and sunglasses. A second-row overhead console incorporates auxiliary climate controls.
A dual-media audio system is standard on XLS, XLT and Eddie Bauer models. A six-disc, in-dash CD player is standard on Limited.
A DVD rear seat entertainment system continues to be available on XLT, Eddie Bauer and Limited models. The system features wireless headphones, increasing convenience for rear-seat passengers.
Powertrain
Excursion is powered by a choice of three engines and can tow up to 11,000 pounds when properly equipped.
The 5.4-liter SOHC Triton V-8 engine is standard on two-wheel-drive models and produces 255 horsepower and 350 pound-feet of torque.
The 6.8-liter SOHC Triton V-10 engine, standard on the Eddie Bauer and Limited four-wheel-drive and optional on other models, offers 310 horsepower and 425 pound-feet of torque.
The 6.0-liter Power Stroke V-8 engine is a direct-injection, 32-valve diesel wîth a cast-iron block and cylinder heads. Combined wîth a five-speed TorqShift automatic transmission, the diesel powertrain delivers 325 horsepower and 560 pound-feet of torque - both best in class.
The diesel powertrain offers a Tow-Haul Mode feature that, once activated, can help increase a driver's feeling of control when towing large loads up and down steep grades, automatically minimizing shifts and maximizing available torque.
Safety and Security
The 2005 Excursion offers BlockerBeam front bumper under-ride protection for crash compatibility wîth smaller vehicles. Second-generation driver and front passenger air bags add protection in frontal collisions. Steel side door beams help protect passengers in certain side impacts.
Three-point safety belts are in all outboard seating positions; child safety seat tethers and anchors are in the rear seats; and the vehicle is equipped wîth the BeltMinder system to encourage driver safety belt use.
The Excursion is equipped wîth Ford's Reverse Sensing System, which is optional on XLT and standard on Eddie Bauer and Limited.
Major Equipment and Options
XLS: Chrome front and rear bumpers, color-keyed bodyside molding, anti-lock brakes, tilt-§teering wheel, speed control, 60/40 split-folding rear seat, power and heated mirrors, power windows and door locks, keyless entry remote and key pad, AM/FM/cassette/CD stereo, black running boards, 16-inch aluminum wheels and overhead console wîth front auxiliary air controls.
