I'm sorry to see it go, but very glad that I got my '05. It's kind of cool to have a one year only vehicle. I secretly lusted for an Ex since they were introduced and when I heard back in October that 2005 was the last year...well, I figured that it was time.
It may still be possible to order one, but I'd bet you have to act fast...or take what is in stock. I think my local dealer had 4 or 5 last time I was there.

My dealer, and other sources, have said there will not be a 2006 model.

I called Ford customer service today and was told there is no job 1 date (so I assume there is no 2006 model) and that the last ordering date is 8.5 but according to Blue Oval news, production has already ceased.

The Exped with the diesel has been seen by magazine guys in testing, but with so much "available soon" "never available" talk by Ford, no one is sure if it's an engine option or not.
It is true, however, that the '07 Suburban was redesigned to make sure the Dura/Allison combo could fit. I can't see Ford giving away it's diesel SUV sales to Chevy that easily; it makes sense they dump the Ex and use the Exped, otherwise, in order to compete with Chevy, they'd keep the Ex. It's already paid for and it's making money.

Perhaps Ford will smarten up and make a cousin to the newly designed 07 MY Super Duty.
Sorry but I would never think about buying an SUV to tow with IS front and back even if it has a diesel motor.

GM laughed at Ford for bringing out the X in the first place. 3/4 ton Suburban sales were never above 25,000 units/year. Not that big of a market. With the creature comforts now available in CC pickups, I doubt that the market size has grown.
Hard to justify the R&D expense for 20,000 +/- units/year.
