No...but the Expedition EL is suppose to actually compete with the Suburban this time. Most will say that the Excursion was just too crude. And compared to the new EL it IS crude...but in a manly, kick-*** kinda way. 
The EL will never be able to do what the Excursion would do in terms of towing but has it beat hands down in passenger creature comforts and safety gizmos.

The excursion isnt to crude, its just perfect. Its for us people who needs an SUV that is truely overkill! Do you guys think that the excursion will still hold its reign in the next five years or so? (meaning do you think that there will be anything that could do what the excursion can do?)

(meaning do you think that there will be anything that could do what the excursion can do?)I just drove ~300 mi round trip to Atlantic city and averaged slightly over 18mpg.
Used less than 1/2 tank of fuel too !
Ain't no other 8000lb sled gonna do that.

What's that ?????
Beforre I recently bought my 05 PSD 4x4 Limited, I drooled over several Excursions. The fact that they were no longer in production didn't change their appeal to me one iota.

I read an article in Car and Driver a while back, and they compared the surburban to the EL, and the EL won in the final verdict!
Those suburbans are getting WAY to car-like for my tastes
YEah, I think the excursion is out for good, but who knows, maybe we'll get lucky...

its a shame that our trucks dont hold their value though. i bought mine 1 year ago. all stock and had 4 tv's and a dvd player. v10 limited. it was in mint cond. never towed anything. had 64000 on it. i paid $15000. and they were begging me to take it. but, it was at a chebby stealership...
