I ordered my Excursion new. When it came in, I noticed the missing cubby bin mat...and the console mat. I ordered them at the parts department and they've been in every since. I also put a hood pad in at the same time. Now the ashtray insert? I wondered what the space was for...but never knew until a month or so ago that it was for an ashtray...

Your new X didn't come with the pad, center console pad, or under hood blanket? Did someone steal them when the X came in? That seems weird.

Anyhow, when I asked about these things (remember this is 10 years ago) I seem to remember that someone found that they were no longer standard in 2005. (I took delivery in January of 2005) When I tried to order in the parts department, they didn't show for a 2005, so we ordered for a 2004. I also added an underhood light at the same time.
10 years later, maybe the part #s have been updated, etc...I only know what happened back then.

Nope...came with none of those. At the time, I worked with the dealer where I ordered the Excursion. When it arrived, I got pics of it before it was prepped...ya know with the plastic and styrofoam on it. I took delivery the day it arrived. I suppose those items could've simply been missed..who knows...

Is your EX an XLT? I had thought that the trim level was the factor that excluded those items as my '05 XLT (that isn't heavily optioned) also lacked all 3 of those things, but maybe you are right and it's just another example of Ford letting the EX fade away at the end of it's production run.
I wanted the chrome bumpers, etc so XLT was the top for me. Interestingly, the foglights were not available at all on XLT and the base model. I also installed the factory foglights.
