The Perfect Excursion. by YOU!

The Perfect excursion uh?

It must have air suspension all around.
Telephones to call your kids to stop screaming when they're sitting on the third row seat.
Adjustable height (like the Range Rover) so you can have nice clearance off-road, and still fit in the garage door.
Autolocking diffs everywhere.
Parking aid (you know the lttle beep beep thingy)
Captain seats (like the Navigator)

I wasn't sure about the parking thing, it most likely has the captain seats...but I was just listing what was REALLY important in a truck to me...what it MUST have to have high interest from me.
And I must say that as long as there isn't air suspension, I'll just look at Excursions...

The main thing they could do to improve the Ex is to include a sawzall wit the purchase, so you could remove the back, so it would be a real truck like the SUPER DUTY, you know the one....with the badges that say SUPER DUTY on it.

Now Rich, Iv'e been giving this some more thought, I don't think we should waste electrictiy using that plasma cutter or the sawzall, how bout a nice chainsaw with a rusty chain??? I have one we can use, I'll spring for the $1 worth of gas.

Now the soccer ball holder, I don't know about, did you see that pic of Monsta? He looks pretty old and decreped, I don't think he can walk let alone run and play soccer!!! Poor guy

I hear thats why he went with the EX, they wouldn't let him in that old folks home with a real TRUCK like ours!

Ah yes, what a good mood I'm in!!!!!!!

Yikes!!!! We're being assaulted by a few of the more vocal superduty hooligans.
Time for you silent excursion owners to wake up and defend your selves!
By the way.. I'm no Soccer Mom. I'm Old and Decreped! :-X23

Careful boys, the SUPER DUTY guys have invaded the boring EX forum, better run and hide in those suv's.

Far be it from us to kick a little sand in your face!!!

Mind if we dance with your dates??

I think the back could use a little help. A tailgate and removable topper like the Bronco's had would be great.
Maybe make them a little bigger also, so that they are actually the biggest SUV...

Yes Custer !
In looking at our club house you notice how good it looks when it has a 40'lift on it!
needless to say those lifted outhouses use lots of bags of money to
attempt to be as '''' as a Superduty
