Forget calculus... I ended up taking applied calc which I think ended up being harder because of the applied part. The TA, professor and the people I took it with made it interesting. Lol

They're close. Excursion is 6" longer, 2" taller and 2000 lbs heavier. It's also much stiffer than the Suburban (including the 2500). The towing capacity of an Excursion is higher as well. I don't need anything that high. I just have a pop-up. If we get a new camper, it would just be a bigger/newer pop-up.

People always make things much more interesting. Sometimes, that's putting it nicely.

I'm not looking for an Expedition XL. The EL is the Extended Length that came ou in 2007 to replace the Excursion. It's 6" shorter than the Excursion, 2" taller, and 2000 lbs lighter. Think of it as a half ton Excursion. The Excursion was based on the F250.

It was Ford's answer to the Excursion not being able to compete with the Suburban/Yukon XL. The Excursion is more of a truck than the Suburban/Yukon XL is.

Yup. That's the beast. With it being as tall as it is, I'm not sure if it would fit through my garage door. My F250 barely made it.

That's the cheapest EL I've seen that's under 120K.

I'd say screw it and park outside. Especially if you have the heated/cooled seats.

My driveway isn't that big. Besides, I'd rather park inside the garage. That's what it's for. I built a shed to keep all the junk out of the garage so I could park inside it.

That's cause you're considering buying a GM (aka Great Mistake).
