I think only the Hummer H2 is bigger...

Hummer H2 is a Tahoe chassis with 5 passenger capacity, the EX is much larger in all aspects of interior space.

As was mentioned the X is the largest non-specialty SUV made.

Well I haven't purchased my X yet but the reason I am looking for one because I need something that will do it all for me and my family.
Safety- yes, I feel safe driving a tank. I think its the perfect people transporter for myself, my wife and two kids.
Utility- my 4x4 model will take me on the beaches of South Padre Island and pull a travel trailer with ease. The cargo space and roof rack are more than enough.
Do I need a truck? - no, I have a ranger that rarely gets bed usage. I drive any one of the many Super Duty trucks at work so if push come to shove, I can use one if need be.
Fuel mileage - who cares I have owned many Pre97 F150s that have all averaged 10mpg.
I think it will make the perfect project and weekend warrior/family cruiser

Rented an excursion in ABQ to carry family to
colorado. Loved the room, but the 10mpg was eye opening.
when my tahoe began to need constant repairs
i researched and decided i wanted an '05 for
newness and the psd for accasional towing but i also do long hiway drives and the mpg of the psd was
Great.
The ex is also not much bigger than the expy el
but with a heavy frame and psd/v10 can't be matched to the 5.4 of the expy.

I wanted the Excursion for the same reason that I want a Hummer H1 (I will be getting one this year). It's big, it's capable and it stands apart from anything else out there. Same reason I own a Land Rover.
That and the fact that I live on a class 4 road in the middle of the woods, really more of a snowmobile trail than a road. I also need to tow stuff, and carry stuff.
I've wanted an Excursion since 1999, I picked mine up in 2011. I had a '97 F250HD Crew before that and I've always loved Fords.
