Last updated: October 10, 2026. This page was rewritten to correct earlier information that was not supported by Ford.
Quick answer: There is no 2026 Ford Excursion. Ford has not announced the Excursion’s return. In August 2026, a report said Ford is planning a new extended-range electric full-size SUV for around 2029, but it is unconfirmed whether it will use the Excursion name.
Is the 2026 Ford Excursion Real?
No. Ford Authority has published several reports since 2025 showing that “2026 Ford Excursion” articles and videos were made up, often by AI tools, and some were even repeated by search engine summaries. Ford has never announced a 2026 Excursion.
We previously published a page that described a 2026 Excursion as an upcoming model. That was a mistake, and we have replaced it with this fact-based version.
What the Latest Report Says
In August 2026, AutoGuide summarized an Automotive News report that Ford is planning a new full-size SUV larger than today’s Expedition MAX. According to that report:
- It would be an extended-range electric vehicle (EREV), where electric motors drive the wheels and a small gasoline engine only generates electricity.
- Production could start around 2029 at Ford’s Tennessee Truck Plant.
- It is not confirmed that the vehicle will be called “Excursion.”
Ford has not confirmed this vehicle. The same report also made claims about other models that Ford called inaccurate, so treat it as unconfirmed.
A Short History of the Excursion
The original Ford Excursion was a heavy-duty, body-on-frame SUV built on Super Duty truck underpinnings. It was sold for the 2000 through 2005 model years and was known for its huge size, available diesel engine, and strong towing ability.
