If they run it on the f150 platform as that article suggests it'll be a failure. That's what the extended Expedition is for. If they're going to revive the nameplate it needs to be on a 3/4 ton platform, minimum...and with a diesel option.

Reading that article made me think I was reading instructions on December 24th on how to assemble my kid's toy from Malaysia. SHEESH
..."we do not see any confirmation at all from the official."

Ecoboost or 5.8L? To compete it will have to have a 6.7L Diesel option on the F-250/F-350 chassis.

Looks like clickbait to me. Ford will never bring back the X (much as I wish they would) because of the environmental pressure. That's the reason they killed it in the first place and the environmental groups have only gotten stronger in the last 10 years. Sigh

So, that is why we need to keep ours alive and well for as long as possible.

$550 of suspension parts this week. Rebuilt the engine in the spring of 13. Body work, mirrors, and head lights later this fall...I'm well on my way to keeping Monster for many more years!

That's not really why. If it was, there would be no Super Duty or Suburban or anything else remotely that large. Excursions simply were not selling but the Super Duty sure was...they needed the additional capacity at the Kentucky plant that discontinuing the Excursion would provide...it's basic economics - opportunity cost.
