Could the Ford Excursion Return as an Electric-Hybrid Behemoth?

Could the Ford Excursion Return as an Electric-Hybrid Behemoth?

The Ford Excursion, the massive SUV that bowed out of production two decades ago, has maintained a devoted following in the used market. Now, a fresh product report suggests the Blue Oval might be considering a revival—but this time, with an electrified twist. Specifically, the new Excursion could adopt an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV) powertrain, combining a battery pack with a gasoline generator to extend driving range. This approach would address the Excursion’s notorious fuel thirst while retaining its full-size, heavy-duty capabilities. If the report holds true, Ford would be targeting buyers who need serious towing and passenger capacity but want to reduce their environmental footprint. The comeback would also signal a strategic shift for Ford, which has been expanding its EV lineup but hasn’t yet ventured into the full-size SUV segment with electrification. Enthusiasts will likely welcome the news, given the Excursion’s legendary space and utility, though pricing and production details remain speculative at this stage.
