2001 Ford Excursion Towing Capacity

Find out how much the 2001 Ford Excursion can pull, across 4 different trims.

In this article, we'll give you important data and details about the 2001 Ford Excursion, including the towing capacity, engine size, gross vehicle weight rating (GVWR), curb weight, payload capacity, horsepower, torque, axle ratio, drive type, transmission type, and more.

Select a trim from the list below to view the towing capacity data. All trims for the 2001 Ford Excursion have the same towing capacity of 11,000 lbs.

If you need any help explaining the terms used in the tables below, you can find a glossary of terms at the bottom of this article .

2001 Ford Excursion Towing Capacity Terms

In the tables above, you'll see a lot of terms that you may not be familiar with. Here's a quick rundown of what they each mean and why each of them is important when it comes to towing capacity.

Maximum Towing Capacity

This is the maximum weight that the 2001 Ford Excursion can tow.

If you are driving at altitudes above 3,280ft (or 1,000m) of sea level, the weight you can tow needs to be reduced by about 10% for every additional 3,280ft (or 1,000m) of altitude. This is because the air is thinner at higher altitudes, which means that the engine has to work harder to pull the same weight.

Gross Vehicle Weight Rating (GVWR)

The GVWR the maximum weight of the 2001 Ford Excursion when fully loaded. This includes the weight of the vehicle, passengers, cargo, and any accessories or equipment that you have added to the vehicle.

You can find this number in the vehicle owner's manual, or on a sticker on the driver's side door jamb.

Curb Weight

The curb weight of the Ford Excursion is the weight of the vehicle with a full tank of gas, but with no passengers or cargo and the standard options that come with the vehicle.

Payload Capacity

The term "payload" is the weight of all the things that you put in the vehicle, including passengers, cargo, and any accessories or equipment that you have added. It can be increased by upgrading certain options, for example:

  • Better suspension springs
  • Coil-over shock absorbers
  • A longer truck bed
  • Attached a trailer to the vehicle
  • Adding bed rails

Horsepower is a measure of the power of the engine. It is the amount of work that the engine can do in a given amount of time.

In simple terms, the more horsepower a vehicle has, the more weight it can pull.

Measured in lb-ft, torque is the amount of force that the engine can apply to the wheels. This is an important metric for towing because better torque means you can pull weight at lower RPMs, which is better for the engine.

The axle ratio is the ratio of the number of turns of the drive shaft for every one turn of the wheels. The higher the axle ratio, the more torque is applied to the wheels.

The drive type is the type of transmission that the 2001 Ford Excursion has. There are three main types:

  • Front-wheel drive (FWD)
  • Rear-wheel drive (RWD)
  • All-wheel drive (AWD)

All-wheel drive is the best type of drive type for towing because it distributes the weight of the vehicle evenly across all four wheels. Rear-wheel drive is also acceptable, but front-wheel drive is not recommended because they aren't able to pull as much weight.

Transmission Type

Transmission usually means manual or automatic. Some vehicles have a towing mode that will protect the transmission from damage when towing heavy loads - which can cause overheating and failure.

Turbocharger

A turbocharger is a device that forces more air into the engine, which increases the amount of fuel that can be burned. This increases the amount of power that the engine can produce.

If your vehicle has a turbocharger, it will be able to tow more weight than a vehicle without one.

The wheelbase is the distance between the front and rear wheels. The longer the wheelbase, the more weight the vehicle can tow.

Front Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The front GAWR is the maximum weight that the front axle can support. This is usually a number that is stamped on the axle itself.

Rear Gross Axle Weight Rating (GAWR)

The rear GAWR is the maximum weight that the rear axle can support. This is usually a number that is stamped on the axle itself.

2000 Ford Excursion Towing Capacity Explained! (With Chart)

2000 Ford Excursion Towing Capacity Explained! (With Chart)

 In this article, we are going to take a look at the towing capacity of the 2000 Ford Excursion, to see just how capable they really are and the results may surprise some of you out there!

What You Need To Know To Determine Your Towing Capacity:

To determine your maximum trailer weight rating of your Excursion, you really only need to look at three different things: 

  • The type of engine you have equipped (5.4L, 6.8L, or 7.3L diesel)
  • The axle ratio that is being used (with higher ratios like 4.10 offering greater capacity than lower ones like 3.73)
  • The drive configuration (2WD or 4WD). 

Each of these specific variables plays a significant role in determining your SUV's towing capabilities, but knowing where to find these pieces of information is one of the other things that people can get hung up on, which we will go through in this article.

There are other factors like GCWR, GVWR and payload rating that are also important metrics that you will also need to look into.

2000 Ford Expedition (Overall) Towing Capacity

The towing capacity for the 2000 Ford Excursions had a pretty wide range, which varied between 6,200 to 10,000 pounds, that was really influenced very heavily, by the choice of engine that was equipped in the vehicle.

The other two variables that came into play were the axle ratios and the drivetrain configuration (2wd or 4WD) that also had an impact on the trailer weight ratings, but much less significant than the engines had on the numbers. These three factors (combined) played some kind of role in determining these SUVs capability to handle different towing loads.

2000 Ford Excursion Towing Chart

2000 Ford Excursion Engine Options

There were three different engine options that were offered for these SUVs and like I stated earlier, these made the biggest impact when it came to overall numbers in the ratings.

Models equipped with the 5.4-liter (V8) engine had the lowest ratings, with a capacity of up to 7,300 pounds. The 6.8-liter (V10) engine, along with the 7.3l diesel option were both capable of up to 10,000 pounds, which is a significant difference of almost 3,000 lbs!

5.4L (V8) Towing Capacity

Overall: 2000 Ford Excursions, equipped with a 5.4L engine, showcased two different towing capacity ratings that gave us a range of between 6,200-7,300 pounds. 

2WD Models: The 2WD models, fitted (exclusively) with a 3.73 ratio, had a towing capacity of up to 6,200 pounds. 

4WD Models: In contrast, the 4WD models, which used a higher 4.10 ratio, boasted a greater towing capacity of up to 7,300 pounds.

This increased capacity in the 4WD models was attributed not only to the higher axle ratio, but also to their greater Gross Combined Weight Rating (GCWR).

6.8L (V10) Towing Capacity

Overall: Excursions equipped with the 6.8L engine demonstrated a towing capacity ranging from 9,600 to 10,000 pounds, influenced by axle ratios and drive types, but it was only a minor difference.

2WD Models:  2WD models with the 6.8l engine could tow up to 10,000 pounds, no matter what axle ratio you had.

4WD Models:  In contrast, 4WD models equipped with the higher 4.10 ratio were capable of that higher 10,000 pound rating, while the models with a 3.73 ratio had a lower capacity of up to 9,600 pounds, highlighting the impact of the axle ratio on the vehicle's towing capabilities for the 4WD models.

7.3L (Diesel) Towing Capacity

The 2000 Ford Excursion models equipped with the 7.3L diesel engine boasted a maximum towing capacity of up to 10,000 pounds, across the board.

This impressive capability was consistent across all variants, regardless of the axle ratio or whether the vehicle was a 2WD or 4WD model, demonstrating the robust power of the 7.3L diesel engine in the Excursion lineup.

How To Find The Information You Need...

Like I mentioned earlier, you will need to know a few things about your vehicle to figure out just how much you can pull. Let's look at how to go about finding that information, real quick, shall we?

VIN Lookup 2

VIN Decoder (driving-tests.org)

Vin Decoder: Using a VIN decoder online is free and it will give you two out of the three things you need, right out the gate.

Just grab your VIN and plug it into any online VIN decoder and it will give you the engine used in the vehicle and whether it was a 2WD or 4WD version.

Your VIN can be found on the vehicle itself, and the two locations that are the easiest to find are on your dashboard (driver's side) or on the safety certification label, which is located on the driver's side door pillar or the door itself and will have the VIN on it.

Axle Ratio: The axle ratio might be trickier to figure out because it does typically require more work to figure out, for vehicles of this age. If you open your driver's side door and look on the pillar or the door, you will find a safety certification label, like I mentioned earlier.

Along the bottom of this label, you can find the word "AXLE" printed and below that should be a code. All you need to do is take that code and look it up online to figure out your axle ratio, due to there not being an axle code "cheat sheet" available for these later model year vehicles.

If you happen to look on the label and it turns up no axle code or you can't read the code, then you will either have to have a dealership run the VIN for you to see if they can help figure it out, or you will have to climb under the vehicle and look for a tag on the rear differential. A number will be stamped into a small metal tag that should contain the number you are looking for, but be aware that these tags can be hard to find and hard to read, sometimes.

The information in this article was researched using Ford's Towing Guide , which is available to view by anyone.

Tow Test: 2000 Ford Excursion

  • By Don Sherman
  • Updated: January 1, 2000

Is bigger better? If it is, Ford’s 2000 Excursion SUV has made a giant leap forward in stature, prestige, and towing capability. Its tow rating starts at 6,200 pounds in its base form but hits a whopping 10,000 pounds with a full option package. We wanted to put this behemoth through all its paces, so we ordered the largest engine available with a 4×4 driveline and all the trimmings. The standard engine is a 260-hp, 5.4-liter V-8. Options are a 300-hp, 6.8-liter V-10 and a 7.3-liter turbocharged and intercooled diesel V-8 (our test model). Supplied by Navistar, this oil burner peaks at a mere 235 hp, but it cranks out an all-mighty 500 ft-lb of torque at only 1600 rpm. When this engine says go, big ships get a move on.

The Excursion rides on Ford’s F-250 heavy-duty pickup truck underpinnings. That means meaty axles, a substantial frame, and brakes theoretically capable of stopping a speeding locomotive. Inside, there’s ample room for eight passengers and all their gear. Climb two steps to enter the cab, where you ride tall in the saddle; in fact, your sight line will skim the top of a Ford Explorer’s roof. Most traffic looks up at you…in awe.

For ballast, we hooked up a Four Winns 248 Vista cruiser riding on a tandem axle trailer. King Marine of Walled Lake, Michigan, provided the boat and trailer rig, which tipped the scales at 7,180 pounds.

Diesel engines are not for the hollow of pocket. There’s a $4,005 stipend to purchase the torque monster. Diesels offer a significant efficiency advantage over gas engines: 30 percent more mileage than the base gas engine according to Ford. We measured a towing fuel consumption of 11 mpg, quite remarkable for a gross weight of 7.6 tons, but the payback requires roughly 90,000 miles of use.

One thing that can’t be debated is this SUV’s appetite for hard work. At the launch ramp, a mere 1500 rpm was enough to roll us out of the water and onto dry land. Dropped into low range, the big diesel was barely above idle at 1000 rpm when we began inching up the grade. On the road the compression-ignition rattle is nicely subdued. As diesel’s go, this one is powerful, responsive, and well behaved.

Tooling around in an SUV with a 137.1″ wheelbase requires a bit of accommodation. A turn circle exceeds 50 feet, so parking requires planning. Both height and width are in the 80” range, so this machine overflows an ordinary garage slot. The ride is smooth and quiet – for a truck. Don’t expect to glide over rough pavement with the poise of a luxury sedan.

Access to the cargo hold is through one hinge-up and two hinge-out doors. The split middle seat folds and slides for entry to the rear. Head- and legroom are fine for full-size first mates.

LAST WORD. Just try to find something the Ford Excursion can’t haul.

Best of Moscow by high speed train

By shuguley , February 15, 2014 in Regent Seven Seas Cruises

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.

Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?

My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

If you are considering this on the 2015 June Baltic cruise on Voyager; my suggestion is don't. There is so much to do in St. Petersburg and although a train is one of my favorite ways to travel the time would be far better spent in St. P.

Thanks for the advice. Yes, this would be on the Voyager during the 2015 season but not yet sure exactly which cruise.

5,000+ Club

We did the Moscow excursion "on a different luxury line", but from your brief description it sounds very much like the same trip, so I will operate on that assumption. It is a VERY long day! We left the ship at 5:30 AM and returned at 12:30 AM. The highspeed train trip is comfortable, and while they call it "Business Class" it does not compare well to the equivalent class on say Rail Europe. When we did it in 2011, we did have highspeed both ways, and the trip back seemed much longer as the adrenaline and excitement had worn off!:D

Moscow itself is not that terribly different from any other big city in the world, but this Cold War kid never thought he would ever stand in Red Square, never mind walk the grounds of The Kremlin, or tour The Kremlin Palace, or see (but not visit) Lenin's Tomb, or visit The Armoury. But he did, and he loved every minute of it! Yes, it is a long day, and you barely scratch a scratch on the surface, but it is worth it. There is a tremendous amount to see in St. Petersburg, but every Baltic cruise goes to St. Petersburg, so you can go back if you choose to. Not every cruiseline offers you the chance to see Moscow.

I have not personally done this tour, but our last time in St Petersburg, the private guide that we hired for a day was leading the regent tour to Moscow on the high speed train the next day. He said it was way better than the previous alternative, which was flying to Moscow and back. He said that you actually got to Moscow faster because you didn't have to deal with airline checkin etc. it did seem like a very long day to me, and there is so much to see and do in st. Petersburg that I didn't consider doing it.

We toured to Moscow from St. Petersburg via the hi-speed SAPSAN train last September, from a Baltic cruise on the Oceania Marina. You need to have a two-night, three day port call in St. Petersburg to take this tour because the tour typically leaves the ship around 5:00 - 5:30 AM and doesn't return until after midnight the next day. We didn't take the ship's tour; we made private arrangements with TravelAllRussia for three days of touring, the first and third days in St. Petersburg and the second day the tour to Moscow by train. Our cost for the private tour for three days was about the same as what the ship charged for the excursion to Moscow alone. There are a number of private tour agencies that operate in St. Petersburg and offer the Moscow train tours; we would strongly recommend them over the ship's tours.

All three days had private guides with car and driver. The second day, the driver picked us up at the ship and took us to the train, but we were alone on the train, and met in Moscow by the guide on the station platform. After our tour and dinner, we were brought back to the train and after the return train trip met by the driver and taken back to the ship. Because you are alone on the train you must have your own Russian visas.

If this is your first visit to St. Petersburg, I would agree there is much more to see there. We found Moscow somewhat a disappointment, particularly Red Square. The Kremlin and the cathedral in Red Square were also worth seeing. But the best thing we saw was the Moscow subway! I worked for the Washington Metro system back in the 1980s as it grew from 40 to 80 miles and although I was in the computer area, I learned a lot about the challenges of running a subway system. We used the Moscow system to get across the city from where we had dinner to the train station, and I was amazed at the cleanliness', speed of operation, the short headways maintained, and the courtesy of everyone involved. A very impressive experience!

We had been to St. Petersburg before, and so had the time to take a day and go to Moscow. Also, I really like trains, and the SAPSAN is a German train set running on Russian rails. Seats are like first class domestic air, spacious but not too plush or comfortable, but with enough room. Not too much recline, and almost 8 hours on the train in two shots is a lot for an old man. They come through and sell drinks, candy, etc. but the sellers don't speak English and no one around us helped, so we had just poor coffee once coming, and brought stuff with us for the trip back. Not too much to see from the train either, particularly on the return when it is night the whole way.

If you decide to go, take a private tour and avoid the overly expensive ship's tour. I'm glad we did it, but wouldn't bother to repeat the tour; we've seen Moscow.

Thanks so much to all of you for the thorough and thought insight. Yhe information you have provided is most helpful.

countflorida: Your detailed post is very helpful. We are not quite ready for a Baltic cruise but should do so within a year. Time enough to do our pre travel research, bookings and visa gathering.:) Thank you!

Sure would appreciate someone who has taken "Best of Moscow by high speed train" from St. Petersburg could please share their impressions of this shore excursion. From the description this sounds like a very long day.   Wondering how the 4 hour train trip was in terms of accommodations, etc. Also what time did you leave the ship and what time at night did you return? Were both legs of the trip on the high speed rail (I read that slower trains also travel the same tracks)?   My wife and I are considering this excursion. We thought that if we are making all the effort to go to Russia then how could we pass up going to Moscow, walking in Red Square, seeing St. Basil, etc.

I did this on Seabourn. IMO DONT. Take Aeroflop (er Aeroflot). The train has non folding seats where you are literally knee to knee with your fellow passenger (facing each other). Further they don't believe in air conditioning. It's also the worlds slowed bullet train. I think I would have found more enjoyment wandering around the St. Petersburg and Moscow airports.

Countflorida,

This is a little off topic,, however we had planned a river cruise in Russia but decided we would rather stay on land and have booked about two weeks with Travel-All-Russia using the private guide and driver. I'm curious as to how you found them as a tour company.

The guides they provided were fine. We had a different guide each of the days in St. Petersburg, but both were flexible, pleasant, knowledgeable and spoke English very well, as did the guide in Moscow, incidentally. She was a bit aloof, distant, not too friendly, but otherwise fine. In fact, she was the one who suggested taking the Metro, which unexpectedly became one of the highlights of the Moscow excursion. If I have a complaint with AllTravelRussia, it is with their plan and its execution (more later).

I had requested emphasis on World War II (in Russia, the Great Patriotic War) sites and info. In scheduling us, they weren't careful about dates and a couple of the sites we wanted to see were scheduled on the third day, after we'd been to Moscow. But both sites were closed that day of the week, and that info was readily available, right on web sites describing them. Also, the included meals (lunches in St. Pete, dinner in Moscow) were not what we asked for: light meals with some choices, so we could avoid things we didn't like and choose things we did like. My request was ignored; we were given full Russian meals with a fixed menu, no choice. On the first day, a fish dish was the entre, but I am allergic to fish. Fortunately, I had the e-mail I'd sent with me and showed it to the guide, and she was able to change my entre to chicken, which was very good actually. But we didn't want a 3-4 course lunches or dinner (in Moscow). We had the guide drop the lunch the third day, although we never got any credit or refund. But, particularly in contrast to the ship's tours, the prices were so reasonable we didn't worry too much about it.

The people who were on the ship's tour to Moscow saw us boarding the same train for which they were forced to queue up and wait on the way back, and asked us what we had done. I was candid and open so they were not happy when I explained what we had arranged and particularly what it had cost. Also, when we returned to the ship, we found they had laid on a late supper for those who had gone to Moscow, so up we went and had something. Well, it turns out the late supper was supposed to be just for those on the ship's tour, but we and others on 'independent' tours, there were a dozen or more of us, crashed the party, actually got there first, and they didn't realize it until the larger group arrived and there weren't enough tables/places set. By that time, the 'independents' had all gotten served and were eating; what could they do?

A couple from the larger group sat down with us and asked us about our tour, and they were the ones I told about our arrangement and its cost. They turned to others who’d been with them and announced the details, loudly enough so the whole room heard, which started a lot of bitching and complaining. I gathered they weren't very happy with the ship's tour to begin with, and this was the straw that broke the camel's back. We finished up and beat it out of there, but overheard later that one of the excursion staff came to check on something and ran into a real mess. I caught a cold on the trip, which forced me to bed the second day following in Tallinn, so by the time we reappeared we heard about the contretemps' but apparently no one recalled who started it, thankfully.

Because of what happened to us, I would probably not use AllTravelRussia if I were to go again, or if I did, I would be sure to get confirmation of every detail of the tour. They do have good reviews generally, and we were certainly helped by their visa department and liked the guides and drivers. Their weakness, I say now with full 20:20 hindsight, is that once the sales person who plans the tour, sells it to you and collects your money, he (or she) transfers the plan to their Russia office for implementation; there is no follow-up to make sure it gets done right. And that is where our problems arose; we paid for a custom tour but got a standard package with a few destinations switched, and no one checked them out, even to see when they were open the day we were scheduled to go. If you check every detail that’s important to you, it should be OK, but that’s a hell of a way to have to do business, in my opinion.

Thank you for the 20/20 hindsight observation on your Russian tour operator, and better priced than the ship's excursion cost.

Thanks very much for the feedback.

We had the same experience as you so far as price. We originally booked a Viking Cruise but, hearing some things about the river cruises that made us unhappy, looked into other options. T-A-R cost the same or less than a cruise and had us in hotels for 11 days. We opted for the private tour. They have three tour levels, based on hotels. We originally opted for the four star as it did not cost much more than the three star hotels. Finally we decided to throw it all in and upgraded to five star. In Moscow we will be at the newly opened Kempinsky which is two blocks from Red Square. In St. Petersburg it is the Grand Hotel Europe, one of the most vaunted luxury hotels in Russia. Location is important for us as the tours use up only part of the day so being in the center of everything for our independent touring is important. As with many other cities, the less you pay, the farther out of the center of town you are.

We have been working with our salesman in D.C. and he seems to get back to us with the changes we want. He recently returned from Russia so is up on everything. When I asked they said they paid the full TA commission if I wanted so I got my usual TA on board so he is watching our back and giving us that extra level of comfort. He also set up our air, which I know pays him little or nothing, and got us business class for much less than T-A-R wanted for economy, though it took working for a while with a consolidator. He's happy to get his 10 percent on this trip without having booked it. He also took care of the trip insurance. We've been doing a lot of research on the CC sister site Trip Advisor and will write a report there. We will, I guess, become a source of info for CC members after having spent 5 days in Moscow and 6 in SP.
