Summary:
Love this truck. Great vehicle! Does everything well. The vehicle has a very safe feeling when driving. Handles well in all conditions. Very confortable seats for long trips. If you take long trips, need lots of room and want maximum safety for your family, this is the vehicle for you.

Strengths:
Safety. Lots of room. Decent gas milage with turbo diesel for size of vehicle. 17 / 22 City Highway. I have actually seen 25 mpg at 50 mph with cruise on. Great range, almost 700 to 900 miles. Lots of power with turbo. Dealer service outstanding...vip service.

Weaknesses:
Small armrests. Noticed lack of power, dealer installed new turbo and problem solved. A/C had leak.

2003 Ford Excursion

Summary:
We love this vehicle! 3,000 mile trips to 3 mile trips this vehicle does it all. Plenty of room for the family and anything you need, even as a replacement for Santas sleigh. Love the huge gas tank and the safety of this vehicle. Gas mileage is great for what it is. Reliable so far (66,000 miles, all ours). DvD player has saved our sanity on many trips.

Strengths:
Wife loves the X more than me, Gas mileage and the time between fillups (670-800 miles). The backing sensors save her. She likes that it is big and people stay out of her way but after a short time behind the wheel she felt like it didn't "feel" huge anymore. She loves the power and I love how it tows my trailer as if it isn't there (6x10 fully enlcosed with my Harley)

Weaknesses:
Turning radius, engine noise (although I tell her a diesel is an actual engine) and when it is cold it smokes a bit uipon cranking but goes away quickly.

Expedition (not enough storage behind third seat). Suburban (no diesel option)

Summary:
This truck was an excellent vehicle and saved my life and my husbands. Were were hit head on at 55 mph by a old Ford truck and came out without a scratch. When we hit the rear end of the truck came up in the air and we started rolling up an imbankment. This truck took the whole impact and saved us. I was so thankful I wasn't in my car on July 15, 2004 when this took place. I will again buy another one and trust this vehicle fully.

Strengths:
Room, safe,

Weaknesses:
gas mileage
