With a tough-looking appearance equally matched by performance,
the new 2002 Ford Excursion SUV is poised to cause the competition
a lot of grief this year. This year, it offers a whole new
array of colors, plus plenty of new features and benefits
to keep even the most discriminating customers happy.
Available Models
Arriving on the market this year are two models
- the 2002 Ford Excursion XLT and the 2002 Ford Excursion
Limited - both able to conquer heavy-duty demands, and increased
towing and cargo requirements. Three engine sizes are available,
each with impressive statistics.
Interior Features
Although the 2002 Ford Excursion is a rugged
machine, passengers are greeted to a spacious and comfortable
interior that sports a six-way power passenger's seat (XLT
Limited and Premium), a standard overhead console, handy
cargo net, and a floor console (standard on Limited, optional
on XLT).
The seating capacity is great for those with high demands
in that department; nine adults can be accommodated in the
well-appointed cabin. For entertaining your crowd, you may
opt for a six-CD player or rear seat entertainment system
that includes a DVD player and outputs for games and controls
- all available on the XLT Premium and Limited models.
On the Excursion Limited models, an overhead console includes
auxiliary air conditioning controls and other handy amenities.
A cargo net is standard.
Exterior Features
The 2002 Ford Excursion Limited makes an impression
with bodyside classing and chrome bumpers; standard chrome
steel wheels and platinum bodyside cladding are sported
by the XLT. The roof rack can accommodate up to 200 lbs
of cargo.
Performance
The Excursion's three engines are as follows:
5.4-litre Triton V8 (2WD models), 6.8-litre Triton V10 engine
(standard on 4WD, optional on 2WD models), and an earth-shaking
6.8-litre Power Stroke turbo diesel V8 engine (optional
on all models). The standard transmission is four-speed
automatic, which enable the vehicle to tow up to 11,000
lbs when equipped properly. The automatic tow-haul feature
adjusts to changes in altitude, hills, or heavy loads.
The 2WD models feature a Twin I-beam front suspension,
while the 4WD models are equipped with the Monobeam and
leaf spring front suspension for a quiet ride.
Safety and Security
To minimize the effects of a crash with a small
vehicle, the Excursion is built with a BlockerBeam front
bumper under ride protection feature. Inside, each vehicle
comes with standards such as a driver depowered air bag,
passenger depowered air bag, three-point seatbelts, child
safety locks, and child seat tethers and anchors. The vehicle
is bolstered with crumple zones and side impact door beams,
and a remote keyless entry system with interior light activator
comes as a standard.
