Question -
i am buying a '97 Jeep Cherokee Excursion.  do you know anything about them or have any warnings?  i had never heard of one before and the owner said that they didn't really make that many.  sounds weird, but i absolutely love the vehicle!!!
Answer -
I have never heard of this particular model but it it's like anything else, it's a package of options grouped together and called whatever.
 If this is in fact a package of options, why do the seats have EXCURSION embroidered on them and have the name on the side of the body as well?

Answer
US car manufacturers for years have been adding various option packages to their base models and calling them something else. A real case in point is the Wrangler.  Look at all the models they offer and the models are nothing more that a package of options bundled together and called something like Rubicon, Sahara, etc.
Look at the Cherokee: there are groups of options they call the Sport, other groups they call the Town and Country, etc.
If the original window sticker is still available, look at it.  They will list the base vehicle and an option package called something.  In your case, it's called an Excursion.
I have never heard of it but that's nothing new, I have not heard of a lot of things but that does not mean they do not exist.
