Questions About 2004 Ford Excursion’s Transmission

  • Is it bad to ride the brakes in your Ford? Riding the brakes or keeping your foot on the brake pedal (even lightly) can lead to transmission issues. Keep that in mind when driving in hilly terrain and remember to use engine braking when possible.
  • How much can I tow in a Ford Excursion? Think twice before offering to tow something for a friend, no matter how small it is. The added load can mess with your transmission system if it exceeds your Excursion’s towing capacity. Double check your owner's manual to ensure your Excursion is equipped with a towing setup and can handle whatever you're thinking about towing.
  • When should I have my Excursion's transmission fluid checked or exchanged? Maintaining your Ford Excursion transmission fluid is one of the best ways to maintain your transmission's health. Some technicians would say that between 30,000 and 60,000 miles is a good timeframe for having your Ford's transmission fluid checked and replaced, but that timeline can vary depending on how your vehicle is used and your manufacturer’s recommendations. Luckily, leaks and low fluid levels are easy to spot and inexpensive to fix.
  • Is it possible for transmission fluid to leak from my Ford Excursion? Yes, your Ford Excursion can develop a transmission fluid leak.
