Discover the classic muscle and luxury of the Ford Excursion, a powerhouse that dominated the full‑size SUV arena during the late 1990s and early 2000s. Produced from 1999 to 2005, the Excursion challenged the size and performance of its competitors with a colossal 5.4‑liter V8 engine, a 4‑speed automatic transmission, and an unprecedented interior space that made it a favorite among families, off‑roading enthusiasts, and people who simply needed room for everything. In this overview we explore the essential specs that define the Excursion, provide realistic depreciation figures, compare it to similar models, and give you a clear idea of its position in today’s automotive market.

Understanding Ford Excursion depreciation is essential for any buyer or collector. The first year often witnesses a sharp drop, typically around 15–20% of its initial value. In the following three years, depreciation tends to slow down, averaging about 5–8% per year. Over a five‑year period, a well‑maintained Ford Excursion will have shed roughly 35–45% of its purchase price. For 2000 models in particular, you’ll normally see a slightly steeper decline initially, as technology and safety standards evolved rapidly during the early 2000s.

Below is a quick reference of how depreciation often breaks down for an early‑2000s Excursion:

• Year 1: 18% – 20% drop from MSRP.
• Years 2–3: 5% – 7% per year.
• Years 4–5: 4% – 6% per year.
• Beyond 5 years: 3% – 5% per year, but a large portion of value is reclaimed through mechanical upkeep.

This depreciation curve shows that, although the Excursion may seem expensive at the time of purchase, proper maintenance and careful market timing can mitigate some of the loss. The cost of routine maintenance—such as engine rebuilds, transmission servicing, and suspension upgrades—tends to increase over time, but a well‑documented record of service pays dividends when the
