Here's Why The Ford Excursion Was Discontinued
T he Excursion was Ford's answer to the ninth-generation Chevrolet Suburban , but a myriad of issues never let it catch on in popularity. Things got so bad for Ford that the vehicle's production that began in 1999 ended just a few years later in 2005. Interestingly enough, the Excursion was set up to be a big seller for the company.
A big part of what made this a bad buy for many owners wouldn't reveal itself until later in the Excursion's production cycle. Closing out the millennium and going into the 2000s we saw steadily rising gas prices, and that proved to be a big problem for the gas guzzling Excursion. A 2005 Excursion only averages about 12 mpg, so it's easy to put the pieces together and see why this ended up being an expensive -- and extremely large -- vehicle to drive around.
Industry estimates point toward the Excursion struggling mightily to latch on to any noticeable market share, and it's theorized the lack of success in the mainstream is what led to the eventual cancelation. In the same timeframe, annual Suburban sales were in the 100,000s while the Excursion sales lagged far behind, and it was estimated only 30,000 would be sold in 2002. Ford needed roughly 40,000 annual sales to break even, so this was a money pit for the automaker.

The Excursion Has A Cult Following
The hefty vehicle wasn't popular when it was in production, but it's become a collector's item of sorts and people are still driving it around today. There are still people fueling up their Excursion daily according to Fuelly , proving it can last quite a while if proper care is taken of it. While the size was a big part of its early advertisement, it's no longer the juggernaut it was thanks to other vehicles getting larger as the years went by. The gas mileage is still abysmal, especially when compared to the fuel-efficient SUVs we see today.
The space offered by the Excursion is nice, especially if you're able to find one at a low price. Despite being first released over two decades ago, Excursions hold their value well. Depending on the trim and model year, don't be shocked to see them commanding more than $10,000.
Prices could continue to grow as the years go on and these get rarer to find, so if you feel the pull toward one, it's best to jump on the bandwagon while you can. People have been clamoring for a return of the Excursion for years now, and while there's no guarantee it would be a hit today, it's easy to see how it'd fit in a lot better with modern vehicles than it did more than 20 years ago. Perhaps it could take the Bronco's spot as Ford's best SUV if it made a comeback.

2005 6.0L Excursions...Fuel Mileage?
- Add to quote
Hey boys and girls...what kind of fuel mileage are y'all getting out of 2005 6.0L Excursions? Thanks!
Hi 'mkb I have an '05 Excursion Eddie Bauer with the 6.0 and 4x4. It hasn't been on any long trips except when I brought it home after taking delivery of it. (I live in Paducah, KY and I bought it in St. Louis, MO.) The overhead showed 21.1 when I got home and I zeroed it and it had a full tank of fuel before I left the dealership. Around town it gets about 16.5 and it is pretty consistent with that figure. Hope this helps. Craig.
I have a 2005 4X2 with 44,000 + miles. I keep track of mileage in an excel spreadsheet and I have gotten 18.35 MPG since new. I had a re-flash done a while back and the mileage has since improved. The last 14,000 miles I have gotten 18.92 MPG combined city and HWY. RoyC
Mine's an '04 (with 285's and no speedo adjust) and I get 18-20 on the HWY. Just did a 650 mile round trip that included some city driving and about half smaller country roads (slow down, speed up, stop etc) and got 18.3. Around town, as in stop and go traffic, 12-15. Mixed is 14-16. Towing 7500# boat is 12-15. There are so many variables also.
[ QUOTE ] There are so many variables also. [/ QUOTE ] 13.5 winter short trips, winter fuel 20 in the flat lands without foot in it Average around town in these hills 15 Traveling running 80 or so 17.5-18 Bruce
Depends on how you drive them and not everyone will get the same. Mine is 14-14.5 in town and 18-19 on the road the way I drive it.

While the EPA is stating the "average" mileage loss per gallon is 2-3% they also admit the loss to heavier vehicles using lower compression engines is as much as 10% to 12%. It seems the lower energy output has less effect on the higher compression engines. The Ford 6.8 liter engine has a compression ratio of 9.2:1.
