What we researched for this specific generation: where an enclosure actually fits, what the factory speakers are, how the factory audio is wired, and which real builds and commercial products exist for it. Confidence badges say how well each figure is sourced — this is research, not manufacturer spec.
Body styles covered: 4-Door SUV, 3-row
These are researched envelopes, not a guarantee. Measure your own vehicle — the numbers here tell you what to expect, not what you have.
| Location | spare tire position, per SRQ Customs |

| Outer bounding box | Published box footprints are lower bounds on the cavity, not the cavity: SRQ Customs "Spare Tire" box 32 x 32 x 12 in (as printed; axes not labelled), up to 3 ft3, 7.5 in mounting depth. |
| Known obstructions | not stated |
Sizes and depths below are what research turned up for this generation. Confirm against your own vehicle before cutting or ordering — trim levels vary.
| Factory speaker size | no Ford or Metra source gives the door speaker size for these years (Metra's Ford install page lists only 2015-and-later models) |

| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |
| Adapter bracket needed | unconfirmed |

| Factory amp / premium audio | no maker brochure for these model years was reachable |

SRQ Customs sells a box that replaces the spare tire; its page prints no fit years. Sound Off Audio's 2000-2005 dual 8 in box does not say where in the vehicle it sits. The EPA does not list the Excursion and no Ford cargo figure is on file, so the two box makers' listings are the fit data.
Outside links. Some are commercial products, some are owner builds posted on forums — the label says which. We do not endorse any of them.
Each link opens the tool with this vehicle already selected.
Measure your own vehicle. Trim levels, factory subwoofer options, and mid-generation changes all move these numbers, and a box cut to a researched figure that does not match your truck is wasted wood. Where a badge reads Unconfirmed, treat the value as a starting point for your own measurement, not as an answer.
