Hi Herman,
The roof dimensions of your 2005 Ford Excursion are 120" long x 55-56" wide, so you should have plenty of room for the Surco Safari 5.0 rack that is 84" long x 50" wide to fit on your roof. This cargo basket does have some specific roof rack fitments though. The Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo Basket part # SPS5084-T400 is designed to specifically to fit the crossbars of Thule roof racks. It is also not compatible with Thule RapidAero, AeroBlade, WingBar, Probar, or TracRac crossbars.
If you don't have a Thule roof rack or if you're not sure what roof rack you have, I suggest using the Surco Safari Rack 5.0 Rooftop Cargo basket part # SU87VR. The # SPS5084-T400 is designed to fit factory, Thule, and Yakima cross bars because it requires brand specific adapters for installation. The adapters are sold separately and which one you need depends on what brand of cross bars you have.
For Thule: racks, use SPT400
For Yakima racks, use SPY400
For most factory racks with side rails, use SP1101 or SPCH100
Do you know what brand of roof rack you have on your Excursion?
