"I wish Ford still manufactured them"

What things have gone wrong with the car?

The door plungers won't operate by the switch.

General comments?

This is a comfortable vehicle for a family of seven.

The fuel mileage isn't as bad as everyone says.

I live in a mountainous region in Northern California. My Excursion has a 6" lift with 35x12.50x17.tires, and handles corners like sports car!

I have the V-10, so I purchased a Hyper-tech system and had the dealer reprogram the shift pattern and fuel grade. I also added a 3" cat-back exhaust system with a flow-master and the mpg shot from 9-10 to nearly 14 mpg on average! And yes, the tire size was factored in. This was calculated by dividing actual miles traveled by gallons of fuel used. Not by using the on-board computer (I don't trust those things), and the total cost for upgrades was under $800!.

I owned a 1997 Chevy Suburban prior to my Excursion, and got the same mpg without the curb appeal or power.

Wow, 14 mpg! Gas will soon be $5 a gallon?

What, me worry?
