I like the styling, it is improved over the current Expy. The IRS is a nice feature for ride quality. A six speed tranny is another nice upgrade.
I almost bought an Excursion at the very end of the build cycle and wish I would have. I like the rigidity of the Super Duty frame over the light duty frame.
For most folks though, the Expy or Expy EL is enough. Nice job Ford.
