That is a really good move by Ford. The EL looks like it is taking the place of the Excursion. They really beefed up the towing and power in the Expeditions too. I wouldnt mind snatching up an EL.

Wow, they are making them nicer every time, I guess the EL is taking over for the Excursion.

Now they just need to put a diesel in it.

Not sure I like the exterior yet,the inside looks sweet. And for the rear independent suspension Not sure on that yet.

I think the old excursion looks better then that. I hope that EL didn't replace the excursion

It did.... We talked to a guy who was driving around in one of those masked up vehicles they use.

Yes the Excursion is no longer being built.
If anyone is interested in these I will let ya know when I get more info on the new Exp :cool:
We did get some of the new 2007 Explorer Sport Tracs in with the V8, pretty cool, center console with shifter. Both are black.

I just picked up my 06 Limited, and the features I wish it had that the 07 will is the Ipod connector, (right now I have to use the rear DVD input with cord hanging down) and I dont get why Ford doesnt offer the Sirius Sat Radio with the Navigation. That is 2 huge improvements in my book with the 07!

I thought Ford and Sirius where going to be a partner in a car or truck?

I heard that there were talks of Ford building, what they called the "Everest" to take the place of the Excursion. The Expedition EL is similar to Chevy's XL on the Tahoe's/Yukon.

That would be great. Now that they are discontinuing the Excursion.

I love these too since I have an Excursion currently. The BIG problem is that the EL is a very large vehicle, but it is on a 1/2 ton chassis. Not good. Too much sway and not enough towing capacity.

I need to take a look at them also...might want to get one for the wife, keep her out of the Yukon.... :rollside:

It says the EL can tow 9,200lbs, that is pretty damn good.

The biggest reason I bought my Excursion was for the diesel. I can't see how the 5.4 will be adequate, or the 1/2 ton suspension. Not that I don't think the new El is good looking but I guess my next vehicle will be a Sub with a diesel. Isn't GM coming out with that option sometime this summer?

I really like the EL (as well as the normal exped) but I agree with others.. I think I'd take a used Excursion with a turbo diesel first. The new interiors are SWEET THOUGH!
