Default Ford Excursion.

Do you still see people driving these behemoth's around? Dont they get less than 8 mpg in the city? I saw a woman driving one today and just gave her a funny look.

Yea, I see them on the freeway driven at ungodly speeds, sucking down fuel so fast you can almost see it come out the tail pipe!

I actually saw one today on the way home in front of me it said EXCURSION on the left side but appeared to be a rear wheel drive one. The tires were normal size but the body was lower than most. The colour was a two tone red and black all I know was it looked weird before I could look more he pedalled the metal and was gone

Spoke to a bud with a H2. He complains about 10 MPG but didn't mention anything about getting rid of it.

I saw a diesel version a few days ago in downtown Stuttgart. It looked like it belonged to an advertising company as it had funky writing all over it. I didn't have my camera with me to photograph it.

Would have made a funny picture seeing that behemoth parking on literally two car parking spaces!
