The comeback of the 2023 Ford Excursion is more probable now than ever before. Bigger is indeed better, we can all see that. You can read a lot of rumors about the Excursion SUV and its possible return. One step at a time. Nothing is official yet, but you can see that the most established manufacturers are reviving older nameplates. Excursion is a perfect candidate and Ford could largely benefit from the new full-size SUV.
Of course, Excursion is the biggest SUV ever, you can see where this is going. This large SUV was produced from 1999 to 2005. Now, some reliable reports are already writing about its return as the 2023 model. We gathered all the information so check it out.
2023 Excursion Dimensions
The forthcoming 2023 Ford Excursion will arrive with almost the same dimensions as its predecessor. The platform will be new so we can’t predict the exact SUV’s size. However, Ford will surely deliver the largest SUV. At this moment, Chevy Suburban is dominating the segment and it is 134 inches long. The previous Excursion was 137 inches long, so the math is clear.
On top of that, some sources are suggesting a new Excursion with 140 inches of length. As for the design, Excursion will have to depart from its predecessor. The 2023MY will wear Ford’s new design language for sure, but again, it is hard to predict the exact look.
Interior Room
The cabin of the 2023 Ford Excursion will be very spacious and comfortable. Based on the Ford F-250 Super Duty truck, Excursion has so much to offer. Nowadays, you must deliver modern and competitive interior design, especially in the SUV segment. Ford won’t risk so we expect numerous trim levels. Suburban SUV is full of premium stuff, so Ford will have to match that at least.
There will be room for eight passengers across the three rows of seats. Chevrolet Suburban provides 145 cubic feet of cargo space. Excursion is a larger model so we expect slightly more cargo room. Blue Oval will offer a new SYNC4 infotainment system and probably a lot of safety aids as well. Besides that, everything else we write would be pure speculation.
Excursion Diesel – Will it Happen?
Back in the days, Excursion SUV offered a diesel engine. The 2023 Ford Excursion will be based on the Ford F-250 truck once again. Luckily, the F-250 model is available with a diesel powertrain option. Logically, the full-size SUV will offer the same engine. However, there are some obstacles at the moment. The F-250 truck offers a 7.3-liter V8 gasoline mill as well.
It can produce 430 hp and 475 lb-ft of torque. This engine is certain to happen, but the 6.7-liter V8 turbodiesel is still a mystery. This engine delivers 475 horsepower and up to 1050 lb-ft of torque. With this engine, Excursion will simply dominate the SUV segment in terms of towing capacity.
2023 Ford Excursion Price, Launch Date
Once it arrives, the new 2023 Ford Excursion will cost $50,000, more or less. As we said, Ford will surely deliver a lot of trim levels, which is a good thing. We expect to see more info in the next few months. The full-size SUV will reportedly arrive in the first quarter of 2023.
