"As gasoline prices hover near record highs and the company's chairman outlines a greener future, the last Excursion will roll off Ford Motor Co.'s assembly line in Louisville today -- marking the end for the gas-guzzling behemoth of an SUV that, for many, came to symbolize Detroit's excesses."
At least, maybe we will see the last of articles from "tree huggers" that don't bother to look at the whole picture.
Our Excursion (both our 7.3 and our new one) gets better mileage than the Grand Cherokee I used to have. And I don't think I could put my Wife and Children, (and the retriever), in a safer rig.
I would love to show a comparison of my fuel bills with my brothers and his wifes Denali to these idiots.
I'm sorry to see it go. We enjoyed our 2001, and I'm glad we got our last and did not wait for the inevitable (and the too late).
Notice however, they never equate it with having a diesel.
If your in a hybrid tin can, trust me, don't pull out in front of me!
FWIW
