The '''Ford Excursion''' is a heavy-duty ([[Truck classification#Class 2|Class 2]]) full-size SUV marketed by [[Ford Motor Company]] from 2000 through 2005. At its introduction, the Excursion was the longest and heaviest SUV ever to enter mass production. The third Ford SUV was derived from the F-Series pickup trucks (after the [[Ford Bronco]] and the [[Ford Expedition]]), and the model line used a heavier-duty chassis and frame than the Expedition; both vehicles competed against the [[Chevrolet Suburban]].

Developed as a competitor for the 2500-series ({{Fraction|3|4}}-ton) [[Chevrolet Suburban#Ninth generation (2000)|Chevrolet Suburban/GMC Yukon XL]],<ref name="BBB">{{cite magazine |date=November 1999 |editor-last=McCosh |editor-first=Dan |title=Big, bigger, biggest |url=https://books.google.com/books?id=RsHqYbQ6maEC&q=Ford+Excursion+is+the+biggest+sport-utility+on+the+planet&pg=PA48 |access-date=June 23, 2022 |magazine=Popular Science |page=48 |via=Google Books |volume=255 |issue=5}}</ref><ref name="Weitzman2">{{cite web |last=Weitzman |first=Larry |year=2000 |title=The Ford Excursion, It doesn't get any Bigger |url= http://www.theautochannel.com/vehicles/new/reviews/2000/lweitzman_ford_excursion_2000.html |access-date=September 17, 2012 |website=theautochannel.com}}</ref> the Ford Excursion was derived from the {{Fraction|3|4}}-ton [[Ford Super Duty#First generation (1999–2007)|F-250 Super Duty]] pickup truck (sharing its chassis with the regular cab, long-bed chassis). The model line was produced for a single generation; a shortened 2006 model year was offered exclusively for Mexico. Targeting the North American market, only a few were produced for export. The Excursion remains the largest mass-produced SUV (matched in length by the 2023 introduction of the lighter [[Jeep Wagoneer (WS)#Wagoneer L and Grand Wagoneer L (2023- )|Jeep Grand Wagoneer L]]); currently, only the [[GMC Hummer EV|GMC Hummer EV SUV]] is heavier.

The Excursion was assembled at its [[Kentucky Truck Plant]] ([[Louisville, Kentucky]]) alongside the [[Ford Super Duty]] line. The last example was produced on September 30, 2005. For 2007, Ford introduced the extended-length [[Ford Expedition#Expedition EL/Max|Ford Expedition EL/MAX]] (today, Expedition MAX), competing more closely against the 1500-series Suburban in capability.
