14. Ford Excursion

Produced from 2000-2005, the Ford Excursion is a tank of a vehicle. This full-size SUV missed the memo about slimming down and refraining from gas-guzzling.

In an era where hybrids are in vogue, the Ford Excursion is a throwback to eras when bigger meant better.

Many drivers of these vehicles might be tempted to hang their heads in shame knowing how much gas their enormous vehicle consumes.

The vehicles were designed for families and drivers that required plenty of cargo space.

The Excursion is also a strong SUV that is capable of towing a significant load. It may have had its place and fulfilled various important needs, but it’s simply not a pretty sight rolling down the street.

Some of this vehicle’s beastliness owes to its heavy-duty truck design that is long and box-like. In essence, this vehicle has all the hallmarks of a truck that has been somewhat modified to perform like an SUV.

At the time of its release, there were still plenty of consumers that enjoyed driving this vehicle. Of course, once gas prices began to spike, people quickly realized that simply driving these huge SUVs around town was costly. By 2005, this vehicle fell out of favor simply because it became too expensive to drive.
