Any high-school kid should not have a Ford Excursion or even a 2002 Explorer unless they are making payments on it themselves by woking an afterschool/weekend job.

Lets just assume some kids parents, spend $20,000 (pulled that figure out of a hat) to buy their kid a shcool vehicle. IMHO it's much better for them to maybe spend $5000 on an older dependable vehicle (that may not look all that cool), and then put the other $15,000 away for the kids college education. Weather the parents can afford to or not, I just can't see any reason a senior in high school needs a nice, expensive vehicle. Even if he is a good kid, I still don't see the point.
