Boy, they sure don't make 'em like they used to, do they?
Sure, some still cringe at the excess when they see one barreling down the highway, but the Ford Excursion earned its place in the hearts of many as the King of SVUs with its massive 137 in. wheelbase, optional 4-wheel drive, seating for 8, and both gas and diesel powerplant options.
Ford sunset the behemoth for the 2005 model year, so discovering low-mileage examples in as remarkable shape as this one from Canyon State Classics in Tempe, AZ is always a welcomed encounter. In addition to its great condition, it's almost completely original and rocking the highly-desired 7.3L Power Stroke turbo-diesel V8- an engine respected for its power and longevity.
What is the Ford Excursion Worth?
If you've ever had the privilege of cruising in an Excursion, you know it's an unparalleled driving experience. Despite its size, it's surprisingly maneuverable. The leather seats give La-Z-Boy a run for their money. They're well-powered, great for towing, and have more interior space than Noah's ark.
Plus, you never have to worry about losing one in the parking lot - not just because of how big it is, but because you'll inevitably have a past or present owner giving it a look-over.
Aided by its devoted following, its larger-than-life reputation, rumors of comeback, and a surging used car market, Ford Excursion values have nearly doubled over the past five years. That includes a '03 Limited with the 7.3L Power Stroke and only 16k original miles selling via Bring a Trailer for $100,000 at the end of 2021.
Most Excursions still on the road don't find themselves collecting dust in climate-controlled storage facilities, so well-apportioned, low-mileage, and clean examples like this one from Canyon State Classics are becoming increasingly hard to grab, and are regularly commanding north of $50,000 with a current moving average selling price of about $30,000.
The 4-wheel drive examples in Limited trim with a diesel engines are the Ford Excursions that are commanding top dollar.
