Ford’s giant utility vehicle includes three rows of seats, seats nine, and occupies marginally less road space than the usual double-decker bus.

Everything relating to this car is matched in scale; the bottom engine is a 5.4 litre V8, there is a 6.0 litre V10 available, and there’s – unusual in these kinds – also a diesel option.

But don’t expect this to become the typical little four-banger; Excursion’s diesel is a six litre V8 with 325Ps and also over 500lb/ft of torque.

Four wheel drive can be obtained, and the monster can tow as much as five tonnes. Don’t expect a great deal in the method of driver involvement or crisp dynamics – the Excursion is utility overkill, no more and no less.
