What's New for the 2005 Ford Excursion?
Upgrades are sparse this year for the 2005 Ford Excursion: The familiar egg crate grille is swapped with a new flared nostril design, while jeweled headlamps and new bumper treatments bring a sprinkling of freshness to the bread box design. Inside, Pebble replaces Parchment as the tan color offering, a new Eddie Bauer color scheme debuts, and you can now get your 2005 Ford Excursion steering wheel, steering column and interior accents in any color, so long as it's black.
Advantages of the 2005 Ford Excursion:
- Largest SUV sold in North America
- Strong Power Stroke turbodiesel engine
- Great hauler for a large family
Objections to the 2005 Ford Excursion: - Massive size a liability in urban environments
- Drives like a loaded U-Haul
- Terrifying fuel consumption
Editor's Advice:
The 2005 Ford Excursion, a super-size SUV based on the F-Series Super Duty pickup platform, is a logical vehicle for toting large numbers of passengers or for hauling massive amounts of membership warehouse sundries. As a suburban family vehicle, however, it fails. Literally, it drives like a large, loaded U-Haul, slow to respond to input, requiring extra muscle to bring to a stop, and consuming obscene amounts of natural resources. If you don't need the 2005 Ford Excursion to tow a yacht or to haul a Brady-sized brood, try the Ford Expedition instead.
