The Excursion was supposed to be to Ford what the H2 was to Hummer and GM. Based on the Super Duty truck platform originally intended for workhorses, this mountain-sized SUV proved to be a disaster almost immediately after its launch. It weighed a massive 7,000 pounds, measured in at 19 ft. and stood 6.5 ft. tall. Lots of ranchers and farmers bought it because of its 10,000-lb towing capacity, but for every single customer who used it for its intended purpose, you could find a housewife using it for daily excursions and runabout errands. Despite its size, it wasn’t particularly safe, especially for other road users.
