The Ford Excursion: An American Giant
Launched in 2000, the Ford Excursion represented the culmination of the American "bigger is better" philosophy. Based on the chassis of the Super Duty F-250 pickup, this 5.7-meter-long behemoth was designed to meet the needs of large American families and professionals requiring exceptional towing capacity.
With seating for nine passengers and the ability to tow up to 5 tons, the Excursion positioned itself as the ultimate vehicle for the great American outdoors. Its 6.8-liter V10 engine or the 7.3-liter PowerStroke diesel V8 gave it the power to match its ambitious ambitions.
Despite its initial success with its target customers, the Excursion fell victim to market changes and growing environmental concerns, leading Ford to cease production in 2005 after only five years.
Ford Motor Company: Innovation in the Service of Mobility
At the turn of the millennium, Ford was undergoing a period of transformation under the leadership of Jacques Nasser and later Bill Ford Jr. The Excursion was part of a strategy to dominate the rapidly growing SUV segment in the United States. This period marked the height of the super-sized vehicle era, before the oil crises and environmental awareness redefined the automaker's priorities.
Ford, with its century-old heritage and its status as a pioneer of the mass-market automobile, was banking on diversifying its lineup to maintain its leadership position. The Excursion represented the American audacity characteristic of the blue oval brand, capable of designing extraordinary vehicles to meet the specific needs of its customers.
The Excursion: symbol of an immeasurable America
The Ford Excursion quickly became a cultural symbol of 2000s America, embodying both the economic prosperity and energy-consciousness of the period. Its imposing size made it a vehicle of choice for large families in the Midwest, as well as for security companies and government agencies.
Perhaps the most notable anecdote about the Excursion remains its use by the U.S. Secret Service as a presidential transport vehicle. Its robustness and capacity made it a logical choice for official trips requiring discretion and maximum security.
Paradoxically, this behemoth also became a symbol of the excesses of the American auto industry. With its consumption exceeding 20 liters per 100 kilometers, the Excursion crystallized environmental criticism and helped forge the image of SUVs as polluting and expensive vehicles.
Today, the Excursion enjoys a special status among collectors and enthusiasts. Its growing rarity and its emblematic character of a bygone era make it a sought-after vehicle, both in real version and in model car reproduction.

Frequently Asked Questions
How to understand the scales of miniatures?
Scale indicates the reduction ratio between the real car and the miniature. For example, at 1:43 scale, each centimeter on the miniature corresponds to 43 centimeters on the real vehicle.
Concretely, a 1/18 scale Ferrari model is approximately 25-30 cm long, while in 1/43 scale it measures approximately 10 cm.
What scales are available?
Our model cars are mainly offered in 1/43, 1/24, 1/18 and 1/87 (HO) scales. The scale is always indicated in the product sheet.
The smaller the second number, the larger the model car (e.g. 1/18 is larger than 1/43).
Does the model car come with protection?
Yes, each model car is systematically delivered in its protective box. This box preserves the collectible value and protects your model car from dust and shocks.
How is my package protected during transport?
We package each order with the utmost care: bubble wrap, appropriate cushioning, and polystyrene. Your model car is perfectly secure during its journey.
