We love our Ex! It actually is to small LOL! Me and my wife and our 4 kids fill the Ex completey on our trips, so I put on a cargo rack out the back on the hitch! You will be happy but with 4 kids and the luggage and ice chest they do fill up pretty quick!!

Looks just like mine! NICE!! When I bought the Ex I never would have thought I would fill it up and need more room? But that's how it is with 4 kids and 2 adults worth of stuff! Did the roof rack fit right onto the orig. roof rails?? You should see how much crap we haul when we take the toy hauler out?? We take enough to fill the Ex and the hauler!!!

the truck will be big enough . my wife and i bought an x because our suburban's 3rd row seat wasn't as wide as the excursions. we have 6 kids, at the time 5 of them were 5 and under (yes there is a set of twins in there, lol) we needed the room for all the child seats and room to throw a quad stroller in the rear plus all the extra stuff that goes along with them....

Those are my studded snow tires. They are from Les Schwab Tire company.

They are Wild Country Radial TXR 285/75/R16 on stock EB 16" rims. I will run these in the winter (lots of snow up here) and then summer wheels/tires.

LOL, yes we carry lots of stuff as well. To answer you question yes, the racks fit right in. I don't have a Toy haler but if I did I'm sure we could fill that up as well!! LOL

You should think about coming to the Excursion get together in July!!
lots of stuff for kids and adults to do.......
