This is true, that's a big part of the reason they stopped making them. They were selling Excursions, but not as well as they were for the 2000-2001 MY. So as a result it was dropped for the 2006 MY.

Had they waited for the 6.4, I have a feeling sales more than likely would have picked up. It would have been a beast...

Or an alignment, and they have to lookup in their computer
which locations have the "long rack" for the Ex & long bed pickups.

BTW, when filling up our Exs, you can take your Credit card inside
and have them "pre-auth" your card for $200 (or $150, etc.) and
then you can fill-up until you are done and then leave.
They will only charge your card for the amount you used.
This has saved me a ton of time lately.
