Will they ever bring the excursion back?

No they won't, but if they had done a better marketing job in the first place, they would not be gone now. My pals with suburbans and other SUVs and trucks that are not as big, get worse mileage, and can't tow as much or ride as comfortable as we can.
I guess the secret got out after they stopped selling the X.

It's too bad because they could have owned the large SUV market. They need the room on the production line for the SD's. I agree with ALANSD. If the marketing would have been better, they would be everywhere. Of course there were also all those dealers who told so many customers that the V10 was a gas hog. They seemed to help the problem. I know everyone here would buy an Ex if they became available again. Dodge doesn't make anything close to that size and I would rather eat my own vomit than buy another GM product. A Cew Cab won't work for me becuase I have an Ex for my 3 dogs. I can't put them in the bed of a truck when it's 30 degrees below zero.

Ur right, Ford and its dealerships killed its own product. Marketing and people wo dont know anyhting about the V-10. Theres only one way to look at it: Us diehard Excursion fans are keeping our trucks for a aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaalong time.

There is no way anybody would buy mine, even with it's low mileage, with the current gas mileage I am getting. And I certainly would not lie to anybody just to sell it.
Ahh yeah.... I am getting 8.3 without the Air Conditioining on, and about 6.5 with the Air Conditioning on. I think this is the worst mileage ever quoted by anybody here. But I suspect a lot more are seeing it in reality if city driving only is applied.

A real good friend of mines dad works for Daimler Chrysler and he said that Dodge has a prototype Mega Cab that has been turned into an SUV and it has the Cummins in it. He said he had heard that it would be out in mid to later 2008 and that they would all come standard with the 5.7 Hemi and have a Cummins 6.7 option. Unfortunately we would have to buy Dodge or keep our Ex's a long long time if we want to stay in a diesel SUV capable of towing 11k or more? More power to them, but that could put pressure on Ford and G.M. to get on the ball with diesel SUV's!! Maybe the Ex would come back??? The most puzzling thing to me is that the Sub doesn't come with the D-max? GM is really blowing it there!!

As I said earlier, I would buy a Dodge before a GM. Tthere are a ton of people keeping the Excursions or trading in for newer than what they have now. That should send a message to Ford but the are making too much money with the SD to worry about rolling a few thousand Ex's off the line.

I really hope that dodge makes a 3/4 suv and chevy puts the duramax in the burb. If they both do that it may force ford to take its head out of its *** and bring the ex back and market it the right way.
