How to Remove the Exterior Trim Panels on a Ford Excursion
The exterior trim panels on a Ford Excursion are for decorative purposes only. The panels are factory installed and provide the Excursion with a clean finish at the bottom of the truck. If you do not like the look of the exterior trim panels on your Excursion, you can use an auto trim tool or a plastic putty knife to remove them.
