2003 Ford Excursion “Tank With Wheels”
About the 2000–2005 Ford Excursion
from the generation archive
The 2000–2005 Ford Excursion was Ford's full-size SUV heavyweight, and the builds shared here show everything from blacked-out daily drivers parked in driveways to lifted rigs sporting FX4 Off-Road badging and upgraded suspension components underneath. You'll find interior shots highlighting tan leather cabins with aftermarket speaker upgrades, nighttime lighting setups, towing duties with camper trailers, and snow-covered lots proving these Excursions earn their keep year-round.
The story
Bought it new end of 2003 and let the modifications begin!

Kenwood D700 for 2m/440 and APRS
