I honestly think that there is still a viable market for the Excursion.
With today's power plants, from the EcoBoost to the Diesel, a modern Excursion would be able to achieve decent power, performance all while still getting decent milage.
There is a reason that used Excursions still sell well, with well taken care of ones often being sold in the mid $20k range!
There is a market, there is even a demand for this SUV, a demand that the Expedition does not and will never fill.
Just my $0.02

I thought about this once and the first thing that came to mind would be the cost. The 250 super duty w/ all the bells and whistles and a diesel is over $60k. Wouldn't that put the Excursion in the 70's? That's a whole other class I'm not sure the excursion would compete well in.

Bringing back the Excursion would be great.
A stable platform for people, cargo & towing.
Road trips.
New Exes please!

I'm not so sure there is enough market for it. GM dropped the 3/4 ton burb last year. It was the only game in town and apparently didn't sell enough to justify keeping, even with it being so similar to the 1500 model.

I don't think that it makes economical sense for Ford to bring back the Excursion for such a limited market. For those that really need them in the commercial world, there are custom builders.

I currently own 3 2000's.. all 4x4 6.8. ( won't ever own another diesel ) FLAME ON, but that's another story...
In the 4x4 class there is no option to get a TRUCK running gear (other than Dodge....need I say more ??!)
I SURE WISH THEY WOULD (so I could afford your 10 year old $70K rigs
)
