YES, that's right Josh, Ford will soon introduce the EXCURSION.
10 inches longer than a Suburban. :)
6.8 liter Triton V-10 standard, 7.3 liter Powerstroke Turbo Diesel optional.
As for those who are, ahem, height challenge (note the PC), Ford is offering
the Expedition with electric adjustable pedals. 3 inches of travel. Wouldn't
want Grandma getting squished by the air bag now would we?
Hey Rob, why don't you have the wife test drive an Expedition with the
adjustable pedals? I'd like to know if she likes them.
As for preferred tow vehicles, John Ames tows with an Explorer.
2 wheel drive, 4.0 liter SOHC V6 and 5 speed automatic.
Gets 14 - 16 mpg towing Mustang on an open trailer.

Nope, that's reserved for the Suburban. Yeah, the Expedition is a hefty
thing, but when it comes to just downright BIG, Chevy wins hands down.
But I hear that Ford is planning on releasing an even bigger 'SUV'.
Following along the lines of the existing product line, the "Explorer"
and the "Expedition", their new mammoth creation will be named the
"Excess". :-)
