If a lot of people wanted them Ford wouldn't discontinue them.
Question for all those more informed than me (e-z): Why is Ford not matching Chevy in regards to the $ size of rebates on their largest SUV?

Sales of the X have been declining because Ford has not done one stitch of advertising for four years. They completely misinterpreted the market that the X would appeal to and Bill Ford is more interested in appearing to be a tree-hugger than to run his grandfathers company for a profit.
