That is a generic picture, not an actual S366... it even has the hole drilled for a turbo tach. s300s don't exactly come with that out of the box... lol

The OP posted a synopsis of his conversation with a Ford rep. According to ford it's malarky.

Pushed snow for about 16hrs yesterday. Not a single issue. Got home and went to zip the driveway and buried the pig. Lol. I was too tired to do anything about it then and got it out this morning, but that allowed the ground to freeze. A broken tow strap later, got the ol girl out of hibernation, and voila she was out.

Oh and congratulations JP. That thing is awesome! Captain chairs? Much like Nate, I've tried diligently to get the wife to like them. Alas it's not meant to be.

Excursions are nice rigs, for sure. I really don't have the use of one but if one came along at the right deal, I'd entertain getting it.

Christian - that truck is so clean man.

I bet you had fun getting that pig unstuck, Todd.

I don't have a use for an Excursion either, but the opportunity came about and here it is! Lol

Heres some mind boggling info for you. The Expedition has the same wheelbase as a regular cab short bed F-150. And yes, you read that right.

The Excursion has the same wheelbase as a regular cab long bed Super Duty.


The Expedition EL (extended length) and Excursion have the same wheelbase

I guess when you slap a big honking body on a short frame, it looks longer lol

Having an Expedition and an F150 of similar generations, I can attest to some of these dimensional facts. However, not everything crosses over though. I busted the driver's side door window in the Expedition last summer, and tried to use glass out of the F150 (spare from the doors I got to replace my rotted out ones on the truck)....nope, won't work. Door motors cross over just fine though!

Did not know the Expedition EL/Excursion thing though. That body does make it look so much longer.
