[RedBadge6.0]

what is ford replaceing the x with or are they? because i have also heard they are going to make the excursion again, my uncle is the head mechanic of the ford dealership here and he had to go ford mechanic classes for work, and he was told they were going to continue making the ex, has anybody heard this too?

Far as I know the Ex is done. They are replacing it with the Ford Everest which is basically a slightly stretched Expedition. Longer wheelbase and body. Will initially be running with the Triton V8. They claim 9,500# towing capacity. I have not heard how beefy the frame, suspension and brakes are though. Can't be anywhere near the X though. I can guarantee it won't pull my trailer
I will be holding on to mine for a long, long time though. There's nothing like them out there anymore!

Based on latest Petersen's 4wheel&off-road - June 06
Expedition will have 2007 extended version EL ( Ford ) and L ( Lincoln ) comining to stores this summer and Ford this fall.
That should be pretty much the same size as X

Ofcourse - unfortunately it will not be for European markets.
