The one piece of info I need from that pic is partially blocked by the bent plate. What is the full capacity number listed? With that I can see what we have that you'd need. view full answer...
We carry roof racks for your 2004 Ford Excursion as long as you have the factory tracks that run front to back on the roof. I recommend the Thule SquareBar Roof Rack: 53 inch SquareBars (Item # TH712400), Rapid Podium Foot Pack (Item # TH460R), and Podium Style Fit Kit (Item # THKIT3101).
For a carrier for your 2 kayaks, I recommend the Thule Stacker, Item # TH830, because it is designed specifically for carrying multiple kayaks. It can also hold up to 4 kayaks so you have expansion... view full answer...
Silver is just the color that Demco likes for their couplers which is why the Demco 50-Degree A-Frame Coupler # DM15349-52 is that color. The two most popular colors are black and silver like this. Demco does offer a red primer version of some couplers like # 12660-97SP. view full answer...
The Timbren Rear Suspension Enhancement # TFREXC4 for your 2002 Ford Excursion that you referenced has an overall height of 5 inches according to my technical contact at Timbren. I pulled a set of these from the warehouse and measured them as you will see in the picture, the actual spring measures 5 inches and the bracket measures 1-9/16 inch to give you a total of 6-9/16 inches.
The difference between a Timbren suspension system and an air bag system, is that the air setup allows for... view full answer...
The 2000 Ford Excursion is actually rated for 10,000 pounds gross trailer weight. The 18,000 pounds is the gross combined weight rating or GCWR. The GCWR is the most that the Excursion and trailer can weigh including cargo, passengers, and fuel.
So the Excursion cannot tow 18,000 pounds and its weight plus the trailers weight cannot exceed 18,000 pounds. The trailer can weigh up to 10,000 pounds total but no more.
With that said the highest capacity trailer hitch we have for your vehicle... view full answer...
The air bag kit I recommend installing on your 2005 Ford Excursion is the Air Lift LoadLifter 5000 Ultimate Air Helper Springs with Internal Jounce Bumpers # AL88340 which are rated to help out with up to 5,000 lbs of cargo (this won't increase your weight capacity) and feature jounce bumpers on the inside of the bags to help keep your suspension from bottoming out when you have just 5 psi in your air bags (when you aren't hauling cargo).
I also recommend picking up the Air Lift Load Controller... view full answer...
The air bag kit I recommend going with for your 2003 Ford Excursion is the Firestone Ride-Rite Air Helper Springs # F2251 which don't have the inner bump stops, but that's because they don't need them. Firestone has been in the air bag business a long time and has the best construction due to 4 layers of reinforced rubber, the braided wire girdle to give it the correct shape, and the rolled crimp seal that keeps the mounting plates from damaging the air bags.

Since your factory roof tracks are removed, you will need a complete roof rack kit that includes the roof tracks. I think your best option is to go with Rhino-Rack Aero Bar Roof Rack # Y02-480B..
This kit includes 63" long tracks that will be attached to your roof, the necessary mounting legs, and 54" long aero crossbars which are a similar design to the factory OEM bars. A nice benefit to these bars is that they have an integrated T-slot channel on top which allows for various channel-mounted... view full answer...
I am happy to help you with a complete flat tow setup for your raised 2003 Ford Excursion. You will want to start with base plates Blue Ox Base Plate Kit - Fixed Arms # BX2163. I suggest installing your base plates using Loctite Threadlocker # LT37420.
For a tow bar, I recommend the Blue Ox Avail Tow Bar - Motorhome Mount - 10,000 lbs # BX7420. You may also want a locking hitch pin like # e98882.
For your vehicle wiring, I recommend the Roadmaster Diode 7-Wire to 6-Wire Flexo-Coil... view full answer...
We do have roof cargo baskets that have crossbars built into them so that you can mount a kayak carrier but there isn't a way to do that with the Rhino Rack you mentioned. Instead you'd want the Yakima OffGrid Roof Basket part # Y07138 which comes with two round crossbars that you could attach a kayak carrier to like with the Yakima JayLow part # Y04073 which is a J-style carrier that can fold down when not needed or also carry two kayaks.
The second picture I attached shows the basket... view full answer...
I got you covered! From the pictures you provided, you have factory tracks mounted on your 2003 Ford Excursion. In order to install the Rhino-Rack Vortex Aero Crossbars - Aluminum - Black - 54" Long - Qty 2 # RRVA137B-2 to the tracks, all you need is the Rhino-Rack Quick Mount Legs for Vortex Aero Crossbars - RTC and RT Roof Rack Tracks # RRRLT600. I confirmed with Rhino-Rack that the Quick Mount legs fit the channels of your factory tracks. These legs also come with integrated locks.

I would recommend the Thule Stacker, # TH830, for carrying two kayaks on your Ford Excursion because it is a premium product designed specifically for carrying multiple kayaks. It also has the ability to hold up to 4 kayaks so there is expansion potential. Although I believe the Thule Stacker is most likely the best option for you, I do want to note there is one restriction on the length of the watercraft...kayaks cannot be longer than 10 feet.
If your kayaks are longer than 10 feet,... view full answer...
Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-915 is designed specifically for Jason truck caps (camper shells, toppers) and is not a confirmed fit for a 2000 Ford Excursion. There isn't a custom fit option for your Excursion but we do have Rear View Safety Third Brake Light with Camera # RVS-917619P which is a surface mounted universal application that includes a monitor. Or use # RVS-917 with your existing Infotainment system by using adapter # RVS-RCA5 which has RCA style connectors.

The factory crossbars on a 2000 Ford Excursion have channels which are simply the slots in the top of the crossbars that run left to right. These channels can be used to secure accessories such as kayaks so long as you use a carrier which attaches to them, the Rhino-Rack Nautic Stack Kayak Carrier part # RRS520 is what I recommend and it will be perfect for two kayaks. view full answer...
The SumoSprings Solo Custom Helper Springs - Rear Axle # SSR-109-40 are designed to be installed on vehicles at stock height. There are no spacers or other SumoSpring models designed for a lifted 2000 Ford Excursion like yours. Because of the size of your lift I recommend adding the RoadActive Suspension Custom Leaf Spring Enhancement Kit - Heavy Duty # RAS3621-HD for suspension enhancement.
The RAS kit installs on your leaf springs so the lift won't be a problem. This turns your leaf... view full answer...
Let's first look at the numbers. A trailer weighing 9,000 pounds will have a tongue weight in the neighborhood of 900 to 1,350 pounds. But when you calculate tongue weight for weight distribution you also have to factory in the weight of any cargo loaded behind the rear axle of your 2005 Ford Excursion.
So for example if your trailer's tongue weight is 1,100 pounds and you have 200 pounds of cargo behind the rear axle of the Excursion the total tongue weight would be 1,300 pounds and you... view full answer...
If you have a non ES Mountaineer you will need to use the Thule Quick Mount QM3 # TH04997 that you also referenced. This is available and is the correct fit for your box, so I recommend going with that mounting kit.
The EasySnap Mounting Hardware has been discontinued and was only designed to work on Thule Mountaineer ES cargo boxes so you would have no problem using it on your cargo box as long as it is a Mountaineer ES if you can find it used.
These boxes are designed to fit nearly... view full answer...
The Curt trailer wiring harness # C55243 doesn't fit but I can recommend the parts to add a 7-Way trailer connector to your 2000 Ford Excursion.
First, if the Excursion has a 4-Way flat connector now then you will just need # ETBC7 to add the 7-Way, keep the 4-Way, and have the wiring and accessories to wiring in a brake controller.
If your Excursion does not have any trailer connector at all then you will first need to install a 4-Way using # 118344 and then you can install the ETBC7.... view full answer...
I actually have a better solution for you. Take a look at multipurpose ball mount # D210. With this ball mount the tongue weight capacity of the trailer hitch will not be reduced by 50 percent like it would using MT70070.
The D210 is rated for 7,500 pounds gross trailer weight and 750 pounds tongue weight total. So the combined tongue weight of the loaded trailer, hitch mount motorcycle carrier, and dirt bike on it cannot exceed 750 pounds.
If the dry weight of the trailer is 700 to 900... view full answer...
The Curt hitch part # C14011 that you referenced is a confirmed fit for your 2003 Ford Excursion and comes with all of the install hardware you would need. The picture I attached shows all the hardware.
This hitch has pretty high capacities at 12,000 lbs total trailer weight and 1,200 lbs tongue weight capacity. It's a steel hitch so with enough exposure to weather/elements it will begin to rust. But normally the hitch lasts at least the life of the vehicle before rusting to the point... view full answer...
