The biggest, SUV on the road. Optional 5.4 L V-8 (standard), 6.8 L V-10 (ricer killer), or 6.0 L/7.3 L Powerstroke V-8 Diesel (powerhouse). They are usually found being meandered around by a soccer mom or a redneck, weigh nearly 8000 pounds, use a runway to stop, handle like trucks, and chug down gas. However, when used properly, they justify these characteristics. The Pilot: In the hands of a soccer mom, they can, and do, pancake Prii (Priuses). In the hands of a redneck, they can be seen being used in a reckless and stupid fashion. However, in the hands of a capable driver, they can be very safe and don't typically run into anything. Maneuverability: They're big. They need space. If you know what you're doing, you can move them into and out of the most cramped parking spaces. Weight: They're big. They weigh a lot, there is no way out of this one. Long Stop: Factors like brake, tire, and road conditions play critical roles. If the driver is observant though, they can usually stop in time or maneuver around the obstacle. Handling: The F-250 truck frame is responsible. MPG: Dismal, but they are amazing people movers. When loaded to capacity (8 people), their 15 MPG are justified. BONUS: Plenty of power. It goes in the snow too. All in all, they only become viable when you need to move people in a climate that can be less than favorable, or if you need an SUV that can do the job of an F-250 (i.e.tow a trailer). Small wonder they are no longer made. Walking down the street.
Guy 1: Is that a tank coming down the sidewalk? Guy 2: NO! It's a soccer mom in a Ford Excursion! Run for your life! Guy 1: Damn, that thing's big. Phone call between work buddies: Worker 1: You gonna come to work? Worker 2: Nah, there's a foot of snow on the ground, my Suburban won't make it. Worker 1: You're not gonna slack off this time, I'm gonna come pick you up in the Excursion. Worker 2: I thought you used that to tow your RV? Worker 1: I do. My Expedition won't make in the snow either. Worker 2: Do I have to come to work? Worker 1: Yes! In a V-10 Excursion when confronted by a ricer at a light: Ricer: *Fart can Revs Driver: If I ignore him, he'll go away. *Ricer guns it, goes weedeating down the street. *Excursion does a sensible, controlled acceleration, but doesn't keep up with the ricer, as he's not racing. Ricer: I win. Driver: We weren't racing. Ricer: You just say that 'cause you lost. *Fart Rev Driver: It's game time. *Screaming V-10 Rev (Pure unadulterated awesome) *Light change *Ricer guns it, goes weedeating down the street. *Excursion guns it, goes powering down the street. *Excursion overtakes ricer with the aid of 310 hp (if racing a ricer that does meaningful mods, about the same) and 425 lb·ft of torque (probably five times more) despite the fact that it's at least four and a half times heavier. *Ricer resorts to a ricer flyby. Moral of the story: Ricers suck, torque wins races. |

An awesome super large SUV made by Ford from 2000-2005. The SUV for the hard-core soccer-mom. Was designed like a Super Duty truck and was intended for rural or commercial use. But it got popular with suzy-homemakers instead. It's cons outweighed it's pros (poor fuel mileage, not being able to fit in suburban garages, etc) so Ford quit making them. Driving this SUV screams a big "fuck you" to all the liberal Prius drivers out there. Son: Hey Mom, I think you hit that Prius on the way home from Soccer practice!!
Mom: That was just a speed bump, honey... Son: Then why is there a Door stuck in the grill!! Mom: Oh crap...not again!! We have to get rid of that Ford Excursion. |

clearly another attempt by mankind to continue chipping away at earths already fragile ecosystem. manufactured solely for the purpose of depleating natural resources such as oil and oxygen at a much faster rate than other bus-sized vehicles. republicans love 'em.

A large oversized Sports Utility Vehicle (SUV) that gets stuck in 6 inches of snow. This gas guzzling 2WD with 20in rims frequently gets stuck in its owners driveway, resulting in a 2010 Honda Accord pulling it onto the road with a 25k tow strap. (yes there are pictures) Ford Excursion Owner: "Shit...I can't get my truck out of my yard..."
Honda Owner: "Hold on man, I still have my tow strap from my old truck in the trunk." Ford Excursion Owner: "HAHAHA.. You think that HONDA can pull my Excursion up that hill in the snow.." Honda Owner: "All I ask is that you let me get pictures of this..." Ford Excursion Owner: "Deal.." 30 sec later Ford Owner: "shoulda bought a honda" |
