Expert Answers about Ford Excursion


  • Winch Mount for Front Hitch of Ford Excursion Compatible with Badlands Winch
  • I recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Electric Winch Mount Plate Item # C31010. I also recommend the Curt Trailer Hitch Winch Mount Handles Item # C31005 to help make it easier to connect and disconnect the winch mount plate from the receiver with the winch mounted on the plate. This setup is easy to use with the handles and has a universal bolt pattern which allows it to easily be compatible with your Badlands winch.

  • Roof Cargo Basket Recommendation That Can Have Kayak Carrier Mounted To It
  • We do have roof cargo baskets that have crossbars built into them so that you can mount a kayak carrier but there isn't a way to do that with the Rhino Rack you mentioned. Instead you'd want the Yakima OffGrid Roof Basket part # Y07138 which comes with two round crossbars that you could attach a kayak carrier to like with the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which is a J-style carrier that can fold down when not needed or also carry two kayaks. The second picture I attached shows the basket...

  • Recommended Yakima Roof Rack For 2002 Ford Excursion With Factory Roof Rack For Yakima Cargo Box
  • I called my contact at Yakima about the Yakima SkyBox 21 Rooftop Cargo Box, part # Y07337. They told me they have not verified a fit for the cargo box with the factory crossbars on your Excursion. They told me the cargo box may fit but there is no guarantee. I have attached a drawing that shows the size and shape of the crossbars the # Y07337 cargo box will fit so you can take a quick measurement. If you find the cargo box will not fit they suggest removing your factory crossbars and...

  • Solution for Needing Longer Version of Surco Safari Roof Basket
  • We have the 84 inch long version of the Surco Safari part # SPS5084 but we don't have a way to convert your shorter 50 inch Safari to the longer version. Only solution we have would be to go with the larger basket.

  • Weight Distribution System for 6000 lb 16ft Enclosed Car Trailer Towed By 2005 Ford Excusrion
  • When choosing a weight distribution system, you want a system that can accommodate the fully loaded and ready to tow tongue weight of the trailer PLUS the weight of anything stowed behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle. If the 800 lb tongue weight figure you mentioned includes the fully loaded trailer tongue weight plus the weight of any gear behind the rear axle of the tow vehicle, the Reese Strait-Line Weight Distribution System you referenced, part # RP66074 would be an excellent...

  • Roof Rack For 2003 Ford Excursion to Carry 4 Kayaks
  • Yes, you'll need to install a roof rack on your 2003 Ford Excursion like the Thule WingBar Evo Roof Rack part # TH711400, # TH460R, and # THKIT3101 but yes you can then carry a 4 kayak carrier like the part # TH830 that you referenced. You'd need three additional sets of the Thule Quick Draw Tie-Down Ropes w/ Ratchets and Strap Loops # TH855XT since the Stacker only comes with one set. The Wingbar rack I referenced is one of the nicest options on the market as it gives you a set of crossbars...

  • A very popular set of chains confirmed to fit the 285/65R20 you have on your 2004 Ford Excursion is the Glacier Chains part # PWH2226SC. These chains will provide excellent traction in the snow and ice. I attached an install video for you to check out as well.

  • Highest Capacity Timbren Axle Less Tandem Axle Setup Recommendation, Hubs, Actuator Brake Line
  • The highest capacity Timbren Axle Less system is the 7k part # TASR7KS01 which can be used on a tandem axle trailer. For brake drums you'd then want the part # 42866UC3-EZ which fits the spindles of the Timbren. Then for a 14k surge brake actuator for drum brakes you'd want the part # T4836600. Lastly you'd need a tandem brake line kit like the part # 20TA-BLKIT.

  • Suspension Enhancement Recommendation for a 2000 Ford Excursion with 6 inch Body Lift
  • A block lift is a body lift so you would not need the spacers. The only time you need to use lift spacers with suspension enhancement is when you have a suspension lift. So the Firestone Ride Rite part # F2251 would fit your 4x4 2000 Ford Excursion without needing them.

  • Which TorkLift Super Hitch Trailer Hitch Receiver Fits A 2000 Ford Excursion?
  • I have another option for you, but the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - 2" # TLD1109 you were looking at is only confirmed to fit select Ram Pickups and will not fit your 2000 Ford Excursion. Instead I recommend the TorkLift SuperHitch Original Trailer Hitch Receiver - Custom Fit - Class V - Dual 2" Receivers # TLF1006 which is confirmed to fit your Excursion and has a 1700lb tongue weight rating and 17000lb trailer weight rating making it a...

  • Replacement 7-Way Recommendation for 2001 Ford Excursion
  • Your 2001 Ford Excursion should have a factory 7-way installed on it, but if you needed a replacement that would match up to the round connector of the vehicle you would want the part # 74682 which also gives you a 4-way connector as well. The # 118243 is not a fit for your 2001 Ford Excursion.

  • Third Brake Light Backup Camera for a 2000 Ford Excursion
  • Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-915 is designed specifically for Jason truck caps (camper shells, toppers) and is not a confirmed fit for a 2000 Ford Excursion. There isn't a custom fit option for your Excursion but we do have Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-917619P which is a surface mounted universal application that includes a monitor. Or use # RVS-917 with your existing Infotainment system by using adapter # RVS-RCA5 which has RCA style connectors. I...

  • Recommended Anti-Sway Weight Distribution System For 33 Foot Toy Hauler With 1200lb Max Tongue
  • For a weight distribution system with sway control, you will want to account for the total tongue weight. This includes the loaded tongue weight of your 33 foot Toy Hauler as well as any cargo behind the rear axle of your Ford Excursion. You want a system that has that total tongue weight in the middle of its tongue weight range for best results. You will also want to look at your owners manual as 1/2 of the Ford Excursions are not capable of towing that weight, while the other 1/2 are. Based...

  • Recommended Transmission Cooler For 3/8 Inch Hoses on 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8L
  • For your 2002 Ford Excursion 6.8, I recommend the Derale Series 8000 Plate-Fin Transmission Cooler Kit w/Barb Inlets # D13503. This cooler has turbulators inside tubes for superior heat transfer. The included mounts attach the cooler to one of your other heat exchangers, but some people prefer to create a fixed mount using a mounting kit like # D13002. I recommend the Derale Radiator Adapter Fittings for Ford, Lincoln and Mercury # D13025 to easily install your new transmission cooler...

  • Brake Controller Recommendation for a 2005 Ford Excursion V10
  • Yes, the Curt Brake Controller part # C74VV that you referenced has been confirmed to fit your 2005 Ford Excursion. All you need to install it is the correct harness, part # C51322. This adapter plugs into the port on your vehicle's built-in brake control wiring harness. This harness should be located beneath the dash, near the center console.

  • Adding a 7-Way Trailer Connector to a 2000 Ford Excursion
  • The Curt trailer wiring harness # C55243 doesn't fit but I can recommend the parts to add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2000 Ford Excursion. First, if the Excursion has a 4-Way flat connector now then you will just need # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way, keep the 4-Way, and have the wiring and accessories to wiring in a brake controller. If your Excursion does not have any trailer connector at all then you will first need to install a 4-Way using # 118344 and then you can install the ETBC7....

  • Base Plate Kit that Can be Used to Flat Tow 2000 Ford Excursion with Blue Ox Tow Bar
  • The Demco Classic base plate kit part # DM9517109 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2000 Ford Excursion. That said, since you have a Blue Ox tow bar already it will be easier if you use the Blue Ox base plate kit that fits your vehicle part # BX2163. To use a Blue Ox tow bar with the Demco base plate kit will require the adapter part # DM9523034 instead.

  • Recommended Roof Cargo Basket for a 2002 Ford Excursion
  • When looking for a roof cargo basket for your 2002 Ford Excursion you simply need to measure the distance between the center of your front crossbar to the center of your rear crossbar. Cargo baskets typically have a crossbar spread range that they are compatible with. If you are looking for a great basket that will cover a large portion of your roof then the Yakima MegaWarrior # Y07080-82 is hard to beat. It measures 74" long x 48" wide x 6-1/2" tall and is compatible with crossbar spreads...
