The last Excursion comes out of the Louisville, Ky., Ford plant today.
At its introduction in 2000, the Sierra Club denounced the goliath ute, dubbing it the Ford Valdez after the Exxon tanker that fouled Alaska's shoreline with millions of gallons of crude oil. Even with its reputation, Ford still sold more than 20,000 Excursions in each year on the market; in the first year the company moved 50,000 of them, 44-gallon gas tank and all. With new chairman Bill Ford at the helm, Ford's about-face into the hybrid market probably will prevent another mammoth Ford SUV from hitting the market - for probably at least 18 months, when a stretched version of the next Expedition is expected to be introduced.

GM will put diesel engines into their new 2007 SUVs.

Hmmmm.....
I spoke to some GM execs that were with Photoglou at the SCOPE run and they spoke the contrary.....
They said that there was "No Market" for the diesel Yukon XL....
Same problem Ford had with the Excursion....No real market.
They said that of all the Yukon XL's sold, only a few percent were 3/4 tons and that if they made a diesel, it would be even less. So much less that it would never pay for the engeneering & tooling......
I hope you are correct.......I really don't want to go back to a pick-up...
and.....a gas Yukon XL is out of the question, I think my mom's old 72' Pinto had more balls!!!!!
Hey !!!!.....They should re-name the Yukon the "Eunuch XL".....
Hehe!!!

Hey that looks just like mine!
That sucks, when it comes to big dawg SUVs the Excursion is unmatched.
That's why Dodge should step up and make one. The new Dodge with a Cummins will get 20mph highway. So no one would buy it? :sleeping:
