Ford announced.... again... it is phasing out the Excursion.

"Automaker will cease production after 2005 model year
http://www.autonews.com/images/random/121304/excursion110.gifFord Motor Co. will kill two of its priciest SUVs after the 2005 model year.Production of the Ford Excursion, the automaker's biggest SUV, is expected to end in September, according to an internal Ford document."

Just a ploy to get people to pannic and go buy them before production ends again?

I hate to see that happen,I cannot believe it didnt take off like the Suburban.

The suburban is a nice truck to drive. Rides nice, handles nice etc. The Excursion is too damn big. Hard to park, rides like a tank, hard on fuel (gas models). Too top it off they are expensive and the resale value is terrible. Of course this is just my opinion but I can see why they didn't do well.

Ditto what he said. And besides, most soccer moms want something that is easy to drive, park and still want to get their money's worth out of it...

Just think of how worse it may have done if the Suburban had the DMax...The lincoln Aviator is being discontinued also, if any one really cares.

I'm on my 5th Excursion and lov'em.Nothin' beats'em snomobilin'.Tows much better than an H2. Aviator is over priced.

A man of yours means certainly can purchase a life long supply and bring one out every three years from your concrete garage!

Where's our updates,haven't been any in awhile? Juice detector still in the back seat? Our GTG are getting closer to you.First one in Mass,next NH,Northern VT,Quebec.

Are you moving south trading your sleds for Jet Ski's?


Just wondering

MAC,when you remove the piece of stainless spring steel from my back , can you do it slowly?):h

Jetskis are too slow.................my spanish also sucks.

I called GM the other day to ask when (if ever) there will be a suburban with the duramax and allison option? They said it will be available in the 06 model. Of course I'm not sure how much to believe that, when they said it would be one or two years after the Silverado/Sierra were offered with them.

Quebec??! Are you serious Mac? Vermont I can see, but here in La Belle Province? This I gotta see. Lol.

Duramax in the suburban? I've heard that one before. I bought an '02 Excursion in 2002 and love it. It does not ride like a tank, is easier to park than my 2500HD and has a much better turning radius and gets 19mpg on highway hand calculated. It is big and rides smooth but firm and does not have that mushy ride my 99 suburban had which I traded in on the Ex.
