The 2005 Ford Excursion is part of the full-size SUV's first and only generation, built on the F-250 Super Duty truck platform. The standard engine is a 5.4L V8 offering 255 horsepower, with an optional 6.8L V10 or a 6.0L turbocharged diesel V8, the latter churning out 325 horsepower. All engines are mated to a four-speed automatic transmission. The Excursion comes in three trims: XLS, XLT, and Limited, with the Eddie Bauer edition arriving later in the year. With spacious interiors and seating for up to 9 passengers, the Excursion blends utility with comfort. Standard features include a CD player, rear parking sensors, and power front seats, while higher trims add features such as automatic climate control and leather upholstery. Rugged and capable, the 2005 Excursion is ideal for considerable towing and hauling requirements.
